Things u never used you chucked out B4 going to OZ
 

I was having a clear out and found an ice cream maker I bought a few years ago and thought, I wonder how many people chuck out stuff they never used before going to OZ.

How many people chucked out that dusty exercise bike that sat in the corner of the garage for 5 years after only using it once, after buying it of the telly because the girl selling it was really fit.

What stuff have you chucked out you used only once or never?

That includes the stuff under your bed you hoped the kids would never find :scared:

We had a clear out some time ago and got rid of all the baby stuff in the loft that we no longer used (cot, pram, pushchair, stairgate, some toys etc). Then we had another baby so had to buy it all again. Ok we'd used the stuff quite a bit, but so much for de-cluttering. However, we did get rid of the slow cooker, the pressure cooker, the deep fat fryer and the breville toasted sandwich maker. Hardly ever used them.

My wifes hairdryer was on its last legs so we bought a new one with 4 weeks to go. Guess what I threw out on last trip to the tip?

But we still managed to pack the old one.

We donated a lot of things to our daughters nursery.

Threw a lot of our clothes in transit (saved washing them ;) )
But somehow we accumulated more suitcases with shopping???? Trust me to let the wife loose with my credit card in Italy :o

I didn't find a problem with clothes but shoes on the other hand.....being a size 8 , I found it really difficult to find anything remotely non granny like with the exception of thongy ones! :scared:

Re: Things u never used you chucked out B4 going to OZ
 

I suggest leaving one set to wear on the plane.

Sizes are one size smaller, so a 16 here is really a UK 18 (or so say vary wildly suggest try everything) and shoes are about 2 sizes different. But hey its good to drop a size when you step off the plane.

I recently cleared out the kitchen cupboards, trying to have a "blitz" and found the Fondue set given as a wedding present 4 years ago, still in the box and all wrapped in that plastic stuff!!;)

I would have NO idea what to cook in it or how to!! And to be honest no interest, think it might stem from the fact it was the sister in law that gave it to us and we didnt like her to much then NOW I would love to put her IN the bloody Fondue and cook her, and then just prod her with those silly little fork things that come with it!! :D :D

PS This is the first and last Cannibalism & violent tendancy I have had!! I promise!!!!! Especially if you are my case officer reading this!!;) :) :rolleyes:
