if I take every single one of these sodding ornaments to the charity shop on Monday?

[WhatFreshHellIsThis]

We just moved house. Down to the last few boxes of unpacking, so done all the big stuff - clothes, shoes, toiletries, toys etc.

Now I'm faced with the crud you accumulate in 35 years of being alive - you know the sort of thing, bowls people give you that are no use for eating out of, strange little china things that serve no useful purpose, pewter tankards, candle holders, pots that are only any use for accumulating odd coins and receipts and bits of string in.

I honestly can't stand any of it, please can I just take all the boxes to the charity shop and be done with it?

take them , you will feel about 2 stone lighter

God yes.
I sweep through house every 6 weeks divesting myself of crap like this.
Liberatiniog to say the least.
I have hardly anything chez moi.

moony you are adding things in french, that was cited as one of the annoying things posters do on a recent trhead. No worries however, as I do it all le temps aussi

I wish I could dispose of dhs pocket dragons. stupid dusty things. I bought him one that was appropriate and then his family cottoned on to them and after several Christmases (and I'm sure some sneaky dragon breeding) he has millions.

Just be brave and banish them from your house.

roffle at you two

oh god yes I would
why would you need to ask, if you dont want it get rid

Hell yeah

haven't even read your OP, just saw ornaments and charity shop
No YANBU!!

Or you could spread them on a blanket in your front garden for interested passers by to take what they fancy

If they're alreadfy in boxes what would be really unreasonable would be to unpack and home them all.
No, not unreasonable, downright stupid
I honestly think people should swap houses for the day & declutter. If you try to do it yourself you start with the "i can't possibly get rid of that, it was an 18th birthday present from Great Uncle Bert" etc... If you get a friend to do it for you (and return the favour) then I bet ruthlessnerss is applied

the problem with that cyb is that she runs teh risk of looking like one of those nutters with a garden full of ornaments

Bien sur Cyb.
The degree has to be of some use.

wtf is a 'pocket dragon'?

I can't stand ornaments - more crap to dust! The only one I like is one of a stork my mum gave me when I got pregnant. All the rest could go, YANBU.

Our local scout troop collects crap and we get those annoying charity bags through our door at a rate of about 3 a week

it sounds like a euphemism for a penis

I walked past a bakery yesterday that was selling 'salmon pasties' and thought it sounded like a euphamism

Charity shop ou dans la poubelle I should

"let my pocket dragon meet your salmon pastie"

eeewwww

MamaG how do you always manage to lower the tone? this started as an innocent de-cluttering question.

Pocket dragon must surely have something to do with (never google) dragon butter. Non?

Do I SPB?

sorry, I didn't realise i did that!

mais oui oui oui

I do what Moondog does - I love having as little as possible

It's FANTASTIC

I love throwing things away
Leave said crap in a box/bag for a few weeks, if not missed then chuck/charity
Tried to throw away all DC's toys away this afternoon, the profuse weeping did turn my heart slightly and was unable to follow through

C'est formidable (my fave word in french)

Oh yes. Every time we move, we hire a skip. Chuck away the crap.

lol at you lot!!!!! can't leave a thread for 5 minutes.
