Oh boy mogsie you better not hide it from your wife or you will end up w/ more than just a broken fridge, lol! Gonna have a garage sale? Maybe it will pay for the new fridge. We just bought a new one for a rental we own. What kind of brand names do they sell over there? We bought a GE/Hotpoint this time.

 

[mogsie]

yes we have hotpoint also, and beko, zannusi, indesit etc, would really like a smeg fridge but dont think we can afford one of those just before christmas, they are over £1400, so i will just have a look, wont be keeping it long enough to have a garage sale, it is going right into the garbage bin, ive got to be ruthless, we dont need all this stuff !!

 

[sissy]

why not save it for your vacation house .

 

[j.w]

Or set it all out by the curb for someone else to discover! Everyone likes a freebee now and then ya know? Do you not have Goodwill stores or charity stores, whatever they call them there?

 

[mogsie]

yes but i dont think they take electrical items jw something to do with health and safety i think, mirks is already complaining about all the cups and glasses i am throwing out lol,

[mogsie]

well thats the storage room cleared out also ! where we keep cleaning products, shoes, jackets, etc and boxes of handy things that are so handy ive never used them since i put them in there !!!, god i am so embarassed by how much junk i had stored ! :redface: :redface:
oh got a new fridge freezer today, found a model we liked, it had plenty of space and some nice features, now the white one was £370 but mirka wanted it in black which cost us £490, could not believe the exact same model was £120 more just cos it was a differant colour,

 

[sissy]

try getting it in stainless steel and the cost is even higher .When I had to replace my dishwasher and microhood it was another 150 dollars just for stainless and I was lucky I got them when they were onsale

[sissy]

Well has anyone heard from addy ,I know she was checking on her parents but was wondering if everything is ok

 

[fishin4cars]

LOL, I very seldom post on this thread, But I've always like the idea. This morning i was reading through and figured check the thread see what's going on and move on to another site I need to check. Before I start my weekend project I read down through all the cleaning house and you would have to see my house and yard right now to fully understand but long story short, I've hauled two truck loads of saved, might need it later, could be useful, JUNK to the dump this week, working on #3, bad part is, i haven't gotten to my two favorite stash it rooms yet, The Den and the shop! The two rooms in the house I spend 75% of my time in when I'm not sleeping. Probably going to be ??? two or three more truck loads more to haul off, THEN, I start getting to the room of, Goodwill, anyone else want this stuff loads! OH, Then, I have to go through 20,000+ diecast toy cars and figure out what I'm selling on ebay and what i want to keep in my collection that I can display. All this preparation to move to a new home,
It's funny, although I don't consider myself or my wife hoarders, I do think we have a over abundance of worthless crap! Sorry for my language. the wife KEPT 56 purses and 100 pairs of shoes, I kept 6 pair of shoes, Got rid of 4! I can't tell you how many bags, yes full garbage bags of shoes, and purses she agreed to clean out. So I have to agree to keep my end and get rid of 50% 0r more of my 25 year addiction to toy cars. Now most of you will think this shouldn't be that big of a deal, well as of this morning we have taken 100-42 gallon rubbermaid tubs out of the attack, There looks to be about 50-60 more. If I sold 50% of what I have collected for 1/2 of what I paid for them, that would come to about $100,000. If she sold all her used shoes,(I seriously think most never got worn!???) and her purses, she would be able to Make some pretty serious $$ to. The problem is how in the world do you sell and ship that many items out? All this because I want a home on more land so i can raise Koi! And the wife can have her petting farm. Does anyone else see what I see about to happen? KOI ADDICTION! Well, it's not booze but I can see I'm about to get out of the house of diecast, and into a animal house. Literally! LOL, Ahhh the adventures of life! I must say though, It's going to really feel nice and I feel very blessed that our long time dream of owning a dream home and being able to start our own business may finally become a reality.
