To ask what you wouldn’t want others to find

[JaceLancs]

Been clearing the house of a relative who died suddenly n found lots of strange things - some fetish stuff but others just random oddness eg noting in diaries the anniversary of age of an electrical appliance ‘fridge freezer 19 today........’
Making me wonder what I wouldn’t want someone else to find.......
In my case diaries from my angst ridden teens
What about you?

The contents of my laptop. There's everything on there! (Nothing illegal, obviously, just private.)

Nothing because I'm boring! I suppose I wouldn't want someone having to sort through my knickers though!

My massive (but super comfy) pants and old embarrassing bras.

Tens Lady

Oops.... Tena

Just the general state of my bedroom. It's very bad!

You know, it's nothing horrific but I don't even want to share on here! hopefully I'll be able to preempt my death and have a clear out beforehand

I can't think of anything op but I'm really chuckling at the thought of marking the fridge freezers Birthday 😂

My diaries from rehab, my awful poems and my random laptop notes. I’ve actually thought about this often... must burn all things soon! Celebrating the ages of white goods is amazing though.

Just sex stuff really, apart from that I’m rather boring and I’m not very sentimental so I don’t keep things like old diaries
Someone may question why there is paper stuck to all of my cleaning and laundry stuff with tally charts on though, I always hope guests will never see them

I threw away my teenage diaries a few months ago for this very reason!

A erm.. Toy.. That may or may not belong to me.. That I acidentally left on the bedroom floor and my mom saw it whilst visiting our house. Embarrassed wasn't the word and I tried to palm it off saying it belonged to dp.... Cause he's obviously into some weird kinky stuff on himself. 😂

God yes my diaries from teenage years that are basically novels slagging off my mum and sister!! I should burn those.

And the entire draw full of old hair extensions... that would look so creepy if someone came across those. I probably can’t burn them

Sex toys. Not that we had anything terribly out there, just would rather my sister / aunt didn’t find them. We keep meaning to put a note with them saying, “sorry you had to find these, but at least you know we had a good sex life”.

It wasn’t just the fridge freezer it was everything
Toaster is 3 today .....few days later..... kettle is 7 today etc etc
Plus every box and instructions for everything electrical even things that must have gone to tip years ago
We had s competition to find oldest food item and managed to get back to 1990s as best before date
Pharmaceutical products were also stockpiled - there was probably enough Elastoplast to stick a line from lands end to John o groats

My fridge freezer is 19. i am chuffed i am getting my moneys worth!

Haven't written it down, sent cards or had a party tho!

Anyone else wishing they knew when their appliances birthdays were now? Wonder if she got them a card or made them wear a little party hat

Exactly how many clothes I own. Some letters. My erotic fiction collection. Mind you, all pretty innocuous.

When we cleared the house of my elderly great-aunt, we found a whole load of Oswald Mosley propaganda materials: booklets, posters, badges, literally drawers full of the stuff. Nobody in the family had any clue as we'd all known her to be a fairly run of the mill Lib Dem in her later years.

My father's friend found out he'd been adopted at birth in fairly unusual circumstances when he went to clear out his parents' house. He was in his 60s at the time and had had no idea, it was a huge shock. You really never know what you can find out I plan to burn all my papers before I die.

My sister threw out her heroin addict lodgers. Thieving toxic liars the pair of them. The woman left behind her diary. It detailed the size of her boyfriend's "abnormally small" penis.
Oh how we laughed.

Oh yes, the diaries as well. Christ .

Teenage love letters from the 1980s. Someday I must dig them out of the attic, read them one last time, then burn them.

I have a fridge freezer that turned 29 last month & is still going strong. I'm sorry I didn't wish it a happy birthday

Oh god the diaries. Mine are actually in my mothers loft. God knows why I put them there. I really must get up there and destroy them.

I saw the thread title and thought "teenage diaries" :o. I binned them a few years ago - part of me regrets it, part of me is thankful that if I get hit by a bus tomorrow no-one will find them and realise quite how shallow and self-involved I was.

Nothing at all. I have nothing exciting for anyone to find.

Pinkball can I ask what your paper/tally is about?
