Hi Les... you are definitely not on your own. You would not believe the tat I have stacked around me in my small 8ft by 7ft little upstairs Bunker.
There`s a very large Dolls house fully furnished and has electric lighting installed, there`s over a dozen CB Radios, loads of books about Nottingham and its history .Camera and equipment, old video recorder. about 10 box file folders full of papers family history stuff and books. new laptop that hasn`t even been out of the box yet, binoculars, Bugle, my old pool cue, electric fan heater, two fairly large fans for summer use. 5 dictionaries, 5 mouth organs. a small cupboard with one of my spare stamp collections, in plus a couple of hundred family photos. 3 pairs of trainers, a chair, not forgetting headphones, Scanner radio, fairly large world wide short and long wave radio receiver, box what I put spare loose change and fivers in, did I mention the printer and several other bits of computer equipment like spare mouse, keyboard cables etc,etc, Oh and tippex pen and tube, light bulbs, sellotape , stapler, my mugs downstairs at the moment, pretty large table lamp that gets in the way some times, mother in laws old walking stick, Oh and the swivel office chair I`m sitting on as well. there are far more things in here that I have left out I could go on for another 10 or so minutes.

John, I really wouldn't know. Not having been in either position.

Mersey, a lovely ring :-) does it have earrings to match?

:-D@ Jimbob

A thief broke into my house last night...
He started searching for money,
so I woke up and searched with him.

Moronic has a lovely ring to it dontcha think Island :-D :-D ;-)

:-D :-D ;-) @ Island

Whatever Island says

Is that moronic enough for a reply from bottom of class :-S

Go to the bottom of the class John.

18? Posh and Ginger Spice at an awards ceremony?

8/2 = 3+3. Or 0+0

They're coming to take us away - ha ha, ho ho.

Hiya Budgiekins, I know exactly what you mean lol :-D ;-)

Know what you mean sweetie, ;-)
I had that once. We used to kept loads of plastic carrier bags in an old breadbin back of the pantry and forgot about them for a long time, eventually opened the bin and as you say confetti. They had all disintegrated into tiny pieces. :-D :-D :-D

Bio degradable, I think they call them. :-D

You'd best check you don't have a bag of confetti Jimbob :-0

Does anyone else have a plastic bag full of other plastic bags somewhere
in their house, or is it just me?
:-S

Hi Island sweetie. :-D
I is definitely a doodler. I get through loads of paper each week.
At this very moment I have (just counted them) 18 pieces of papers besides me on the computer desk all used on both side full of all sorts of information and rubbishy stuff. :-D :-D :-D

I'm smarter than average too PH :-D

2+2 is a bit of a stretch but 3+3 and 7+7 easy peasy. It's all down to how you see things really - and what your interpretation of smart is ;-)


....and how much you doodle :-D

I'm afraid I had to google it for the answer. Is that being smart?

PS I see what DET was hinting at now.

Hi Prickles...

Didn`t realize you practiced Yogi. :-D :-D

PH - :-D :-D

I am smarter than average.

Anyone seen my mate Boo Boo?

:-D

Thanks for the update BR. Perhaps someone sent him the detailed info off-board.
