Record player went with DS2 when he moved out, along with our collection of 60s and 70s LPs.
No DVDs, tapes or CDs.
Books - I have a few left. Have got rid of 1000s over the last couple of years and love the space. I only read e-readers.
Original art - yes but painted by a friend not me.
Lots of 1930s kitchenware, cutlery and some 1930s tea sets from my grandmother. DS has promised to take them off my hands. When we bought our house in the 80s it was furnished by stuff from my grandparents.

Do you still have an old computer - spectrum or commodore?

Yes I have one as I like to listen to LBC at night. I do have the app on my phone but prefer not to have my phone next to me at night as my cat managed to knock it on the floor when she was trampling all over the bed.

My mum has a few - I massively regret not keeping mine (hindsight is a smug bitch 😆 ). One Christmas when I was about 8 my uncle gave me a shoebox full of tiny individually wrapped gifts. Some were things like chocolates or little toys but most of them were whimsies. Must have taken him ages to wrap them all.
