HOARDING.....what kind of things do we keep
Katie77:
Well looks like "rubber" and "gum" have the same meanings all over the place.
Now I came in to tell you about the hoarding habits of my mum.
When she buys a new appliance, such as an iron, toaster, electric frypan, she finds it difficult to throw the old one away. So, what she does is take the new one out of the box, and uses it, and puts the old one IN that same box, and then stores it away in the garage or in a cupboard.

LOL!!
that reminds me of one of MY hoarding things....I can't bring myself to throw away the user manuals on anything I buy. I have the owners manual from every car I ever had, I have user manuals for VCRs I dont' own anymore, stereos, cameras....
what am I saving them for??!!
why do I need the 'seasoning' instructions for four iron skillets? You season every one the same so you would think ONE would suffice...

Injest you say:

............
Sell them at auctions or one auction that will accept them ? Or on the internet ?
Some car manuals are needed, especially for old cars !
Au revoir,
hugs!

There you go Jess, you might have something useful in those old car manuals after all.
Another thing I've noticed that I have quite a collection of now, and that is computer discs.
I have them from my first computer, printer, mouse, keyboards, scanners, and any subsequent updates I have owned. They just seem too important to throw out.
