bronze Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 My parents did their own sort out. All their stuff is now boxed in a third of a garage. Except of course all their stuff overseas and I doubt they'll pop their clogs over their. They used to be hoarders but I'm hoping when they come back they'll carry on their streamlined life. My Grandfather was a terrible hoarder boxes and containers all labelled just in case..... I wonder if its a throw back from the war when you just couldnt afford to waste anything.

The Dogmother Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Oh, I agree about not wasting Bron; I never throw out anything with a use or purpose, but try not to do the 'just in case' thing. If it's no use, or hasn't been worn in a year then it goes! My garden shed needs a massive clear out too - better wait for good weather though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 when we moved my grandad a good twenty years ago - he was an agile and spritely 60 somthing, but you know us Greeks, all hands to the deck - he had a whole drawer full (and I am talking bedroom chest of drawers) of... CORKS!!! I have no idea why and how has a 9 page thread about big knockers developed into a thread about hoarding .... only on Omlet I'm sure. Mind you , just how did we manage to fill up nine pages on knickers anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I know this is a family forum....and at the risk of being moderated......what about zips? I mean....a moments inattention and......well....it doesn't bear thinking about. One of my male colleagues when I was a teacher found a little boy in the toilets who had had this exact problem - what do you do?!!!?! (I can't actually remember what happened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm looking forward to someone's explanation of that . Moderators, stand by ..... Ahem....happened to my youngest son once. I treated it in the same way as I remove elastoplast, one quick yank, and then quickly put hand over child's mouth in case the neighbours think you are murdering him Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 My Mum had to deal with one of those when she was the 'lady in the office' at our infant school. Poor wee lad was rather more stuck than Tessa describes - a quick yank might have caused a major haemmorage. She put ice on it, comforted the child as much a possible, called an ambulance and child's parents. At Casualty they administered a general anaesthetic and dismantled the zip before stitching him up. i'm crossing my legs just thinking about it and I don't even have one of those to trap in my zip!
