Am I the worst hoarder on here ?

Today I decided on a strategic and systematic search of all my draws and hiding places to try and find my solar film.


 


What I found amazed even me.


 


I turned up countless manuals from equipment I have had in the past.


 


You know the sort of thing I mean - how to work the video - the tv - the computer ect ect.


I found the manuals and the recovery discs to my first ever PC which died many many years ago.


I even found the manual to my JVC VHS video recorder and the wired remote for it.( which I must admit I still have in the loft )  :blush::facepalm:


 


The more I searched the more I found it was incredible. :o


Microwave manuals


Cooker manuals


Gas fire service and operating manuals


Countless mobile phone manuals


 


Why do I keep all this stuff, do I really think that maybe some time in the future I will suddenly need to know how to operate an analogue mobile phone or how to turn on an inset gas fire ???


I mean heaven forbid I ever forget how to operate a microwave it could mean certain starvation. :frantic:


 


After a couple of hours I had half filled my Blue wheelie bin. :wallbash:


 


I can now rest easy in my bed tonight safe in the knowledge that when this lot has been recycled I will have saved half the rain forests of the world. :2thumbsup:


 


Oh and on the off chance you are interested I never did find my Solar film. :(


 


So I had better get some more,,,, That means another large envelope will come through my door.


I will probably put it away in a draw just in case I need one another day  :rolleyes:

Snap as well, we have a loft and a shed full of rubbish. The house looks tidy and clean but all the rubbish is hidden away.


 


I also say to myself  "I'll put that away somewhere safe", it is so safe that I forget where I put it.
