travelchic Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well, after spending ALL DAY sorting out the loft, I'm glad to say its now completely empty. Go me. Couple of trips to the skip and a few more items for ebay. I am totally knackered, but feel quite proud of myself. Next weekend end is the garage. Dreading that one. But I'm feeling super excited now. Yay. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou8670 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well done Debs! It certainly cleanses the soul and you wonder at the end of it why you hadn't done it sooner! We certainly seem to hoard a load of rubbish just in case we need it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aligard Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hi, Join the loft club! We've sorted out too, with trips to the skip. Just left with a couple of Christmas boxes but like you it's the garage next week too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millar.wall.1985 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Its a satisfying feeling mind, even though the contents of my loft got transferred to my mams. Couldnt bring myself to part with all my daughters baby outfits. An all my old uni work. (Thats a thought, have any nurses took their PDP out with them? I havent even attempted to swap pin over yet? Maybe I should look into this lol) guna do a boot sale when billys back off next trip off shore. Hoping the weathers broke by then. How exciting!!!!!

travelchic Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I am taking my certificates with me and shipping my uni file. It's quite big and heavy but you never know if you'll need it. Plus sometimes I let student nurses have a look at my assignments to get ideas.

elfie Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I remember the emptying of the garages dear god with a hubby who is a bike and car fanatic ebay certainly took a bashing from us before he left and then again with me stuck back home for 3 mths. Have to say we made many a man happy with the treasures that were sold especially a guy from derby who bought a whole honda four hundred four in boxes a project that was never finished ... tsk men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been having a cupboard and drawer clear out through the house and down to one room and the study now.... then you post about the loft Travelchic! Won't be getting up there while it is 37C every day in Perth so that will have to wait for the winter! Great that you are powering through your turnout though!!

We have lived in this house since we arrived in WA 23 years ago and have never turned out a thing.... so I am going through the same as you guys. Cannot understand why I have kept so much stuff.... think I must have been a squirrel in a previous life!!! All power to you guys in your turnouts..... just remember I am doing it in 35C plus degrees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elaineh33 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I had a quick scoot around the loft to see just how bad things are. I found tapes from the 80s...some I recorded off the radio (bit of Adam ants Prince Charming) a Walkman, a miniature handheld tv, a load of VHS Disney movies (haven't had a video player for many years), a camcorder with tapes I don't know how to use. Never mind the recycling centre I think I might be going to a museum with my stuff. My teenage nieces thought some of the stuff was hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelchic Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Done the shed and half the garage today. Feels good. Would have done the other half of the garage but it was stuff like punch bags, furniture, old tv's (why do we keep them?) and I couldn't lift them. Plus I only drive a fiesta so may need a van. Will have to get one of the older kids to help me. 3 trips to the skip, hardly moved a muscle because of the lovely skip man. Was gonna ask him did he wanna come to mine and help me load the rest but thought better of it ha ha ha Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelchic Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 wait for an Aussie skip man- you don't need any complications now you've got this far Debs!!!!! Ha ha. Talking of complications, I've just had a call from the estate agents. They've had a call from someone who's put an offer in on my house without viewing it. Cash offer. And get this. It's for exactly the same amount that I've already accepted. Now either that's a coincidence or someone who knows me has told them how much I've accepted. I've refused it. How bizarre.

travelchic Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Deb, mine was put on the market in oct. I had 2 viewers between then and Xmas. Then I reduced it and had a flurry of viewers. Are you in a position to reduce yours. The only trouble is, I was expecting to be offered less when it was at the original price but when it's reduced and people offer you a lower price it's a lot of money to lose. But I've taken into account the cost of a validation trip which I won't have to do now. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
