What items did you find in your new house?

[blueismycolor]

All I had was a little action figure that I found months later buried in the garden.

I listen to a podcast and someone on there find two names written on the attic that had their birth and death dates - death dates being the same.

The airing cupboard door marking the heights of three children. One stopped. The house was a probate sale. There were two heirs.

A history of the village.
Carefully labelled extra tiles, bricks, etc., where work had been done.
A catalogue of invoices and guarantees for works done.
A safe behind the one picture left behind.

I've moved many times: Victorian jug and bowl, necklace behind a radiator, family portrait, a high quality print.

A load of massive faux mahogany bedroom furniture, the original 1912 doors under some awful 70s laminate, and the ashes of the previous owner's wife buried in the garden. I found the urn, ndn told me that tree had been planted when the wife died in her memory, we were just returfing a patch it wasn't buried very deep. I did try to contact him via the estate agent but to no avail so I just reburied them!

Just remembered my friend found a folder full of news clippings for the previous owners daughter who’d been murdered by her husband 😔

A bath full of turds and a sleeping Jamaican man.

Unopened packet of tights, some incontinence pads and a stack of celebrity memoirs.

Recent move - nothing

Last house - some thrush pessaries

A stash of cash under the carpet! Definitely not enough to pay down the mortgage, but enough to have a celebratory bottle of something for the new house

A gun box (no gun of course). Police tape. Sadly the two were related.

Bottle of champagne, punch bowl, shoes, mugs, whole recycling bin full of dog food (we rehomed that to the dog rescue)

A vase full of dog poo in the back garden!

We have a full sized gravestone for Brolly the deerhound, captured from the Boas.

Ummmm..... what?? 😳

Christmas tree and decorations in the loft and rolls of old wrapping paper.

A load of newspapers from between 1960 - 1963. I'm enjoying reading them.

Some lovely farrow and ball paint in the attic that I’ve since used in my bedroom, and an electric drill 👌🏻 all very handy

Stash of porn hidden behind a water tank in the bathroom. Wedding photos in the attic.

An absolutely massive ancient tv in the loft.

A shot gun. We rang the previous owner who sheepishly came back and picked it up.

We found shoes in the fireplace when we knocked it down. Back in the day it signified a child’s death and their shes were left to keep their spirit there.

we do know a child died here.

3 sheds.full of shite
Attic full of shite
Dog kennel and bowls
4 layers of carpets
2 layers of tiles

Basically 16 large skips of shite

Nothing of interest ... a friend found a substantial sum of cash hidden under the floor boards when he moved into his new home ... he was honest enough to return it to the previous occupiers ...

An old very solid wardrobe that wouldn't fit down the stairs, my son had to take an axe to it (only tool we had)..........but how did they get it up there🤔

A wall mounted tv but no remote. (He asked me to buy the TV but I declined as I already own two TVs. Spiteful brat took the remote to make sure I didn’t benefit from his laziness)

A large assortment of items.
we had to hire a skip
Memorable items:
kitchen cupboards full of cheap half used items such as greasy bottle of vinegar, various crusty packets.
3 apparently brand new unused toilets. (The sink and toilet in main bathroom had been ripped out leaving just a bath)
a DVD with a title of ‘anal bum fun’ or similar wording - I got rid
loads of paperwork showing that they had remortgaged to a frankly frightening level…
