Futtocks Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Suitcase, overnight bag, the emergency small TV (for when the big one goes on the fritz), some no-longer-used electronic gadgets (a phono stage, a HDMI switcher etc.), a box set of 3 Leningrad Cowboys DVDs and dust. Lots of dust. "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life. We are just so much mashed potato."

hindle xiii Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Now we're talking. Working left to right: A pair of spare cheap pillows, rolled up foil backed underlay, a pair of old curtains, an empty rucksack, an empty hold all bag, a large plastic laundry bag, some cardboard type flooring tiles, 3 radiator airers and a spare single duvet. You are welcome. The upside of living alone in a house that has a double wardrobe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still at full stretch to reach the top-most shelves which are used as a kind of long-term storage. Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member.

CanaBull Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Not so much a wardrobe but the top shelf of the closet because I don't have wardrobes.. A late 80's pair of 1490 Docs. A box of miscellaneous photos and documents. A sleeping bag. Camping stove and pots & pans. Lantern. Hate to say a box of cables, but a box of cables. A box of ties. A box. (It's a good box!)

She likes Scalextric. I remember when I got Scalextric for my birthday (the first time I'd asked for something specific as a present) and my great-aunt visited. She had a go, and kept exclaiming that she was never allowed to play with toys like this when she was a little girl. A bit of a speed demon on the track, too. Did anyone ever have the rival product TCR? None of my friends did, but the adverts (with the lane-changing and the "jam" car) always intrigued me. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Interestingly, Sharon finished up with a Scalextric for similar reasons. She asked for a Scalextric for Christams when she was a young girl but was knocked back because it was a toy for boys. Many years later we were in a toyshop looking for Christmas presents for younger relatives and I just happened to say, what would you like for Christmas. We were standing in the aisle with Scalextric, Sharon immediatley pointed to the Scalextric and said one of those. Once she got her hands on her Christmas present she immediatly started buying more track, more cars more.. more.. She now has a huge track with modern digital controlled cars with lane changing, unheard of when she first got it. It takes over the entire downstairs floor area when she goes for one of her Scalextric parties, they get a bit wild as everyone who comes along gets really into it.
