To be so angry sorting out my parents stuff

[DazedorBemused]

I've just cleared another carload of stuff from my parents attic. They were born either side of WW2, and talked. Talked so much about rationing, poverty, striking, unions, etc.
My brother was occasionally ill as a child. To compensate he had fancy Lego, computers when they first came out, hand held video games.
The contrast between his pricy toys and my enjoy your family board game type stuff is obvious.
Then my parents got into collecting stuff - porcelain, dinner services, up scaled their Christmas decorations again and again.

I'm sorting through all this stuff and finding receipts for expensive trivial stuff in the early 90s when I was at uni, working two term time jobs and full-time in the holidays and I'm a 50 year old woman upset at having to go to the tip again.

This is around the 10th zombie thread I have noticed over this past few days. No posts for 6 months or more, and someone posts and bumps it back up again. I don't know why this is happening. There were no posts on this thread for nearly a year, and someone posted on it again/bumped it back up a few days ago.

Weird.

I know! I try hard not to fall for them but as OP it was interesting to reflect a year down the line.
Promise I won't keep replying anymore.

Easily done @DazedorBemused xx

WTAF? You're telling the OP to fly tip the contents of her parents' house in the street? Are you for real?!?

... and I've just realised I've posted on a year-old thread 🙄

@DazedorBemused I was glad of an update, we have cleared loads since we both retired last year and I commented on your thread then.
