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?

rofl at the thought of many serious Pocket dragon collectors ernestly scanning the boards for 'Gargoyle hoping for Raspberry Teacakes'

Love, love love it!!

Get rid of it all, by the way - you won't miss it. I was given some truly hideous wedding crap charming gifts, including a fully injection moulded plastic 'figurine' of a saintly meringue, straight from heaven, entitled 'Here comes the Bride'. I hid it under my bed for 3 years, before chucking it in the bin.

Of course you should get rid of them. I would have got rid of them much quicker, but then i live in a 2 up 2 down so don't have the room to store crap.

We have already consigned to Oxfam the elephant clock. This was a truly beeeeeyootiful piece, consisting of a majestic African elephant, rather suprisingly balancing a clock (that didn't work) in the crook of his trunk.

Truly, it was a thing of delight and joy and was a gift from the same relative that spent too much time and money on Sunday supplement crap.

So sad that it accidentally got into the Oxfam box.

Boo hoo.
