If they want it.....give it to them now, Mantra.

Easier said than done especially when they're young and moving around.

you are funny mantra......put them up on ebay....you are good at that.. see what happens...one mans meat as they say.....did your mum do her own polishing and stuff... I remember it was all the go.

She had a few of the good opals polished and made into jewellery. A lot of the stones don't need much polishing. My brother said he'd like to do them - so he bought a gem polishing kit and 2 years later the box is still unopened.

Give them the option. "Take take this stuff now, or I sell it or dump it."

The trouble is with collecting is..you can run out of room as you know Mantra ...I have some really sweet and quite old pottery and quaint peices, mostly household items like butter dishes etc..around the place..I also collect shoes and handbags.. I love anything with history attached to it...but space can be a luxury..unless you want to clean out a room in the house, which I have begun to do. It can get out of hand. I bought an old coat once and found money in the pocket. That bought me a coffee and a sammich.

I'd like to be that tough and threatening Aussie, but they wouldn't fall for it.

I like old pottery too AG and mirrors. I don't collect clothes anymore. I did before I had a daughter. Now I'm sick of the sight of excess clothes especially when they're not mine.

I should have a lot of space, but half the stuff here belongs to other people. I resent it though. It's as though I've got the whole family - dead and alive - living with me.

There is zero 'tough' or 'threatening' in that mantra. It is a statement setting out options for them. If they want it, they ought say so and they ought house it.

Don’t resent it, take action.

The living: come and get your stuff or I will sell it and keep the money as storage fees.

The dead: sell it apart from any personal mementoes you want.

I have the same problem Mantra...esp my daughter, she has left remnants of the last 5 years here and it comes in the form of large peices of furniture etc.. so these are not easily removeable..and clothes of which there is a lot...I have packed them up into boxes but the still take up space...I need to do a kerb side thing, of which I never have done..it's time.

Daughters are definitely the worst with clothes AG. I've stored dozens of bags of her clothes in the garage in the past, but now when she's not around for a while - I throw them out. It's a waste, but it's better than finding a rat's nest in a bag or mildew caused from the last heavy rain.

You can make a lot of money from garage sales if you could be bothered.

My hall stand got delivered today!

MUCH work beforehand: had to move an iron cupboard (that I intend to take to Tassie with me) had to be moved out the back porch. Empty cupboard, throw away 90% LOL! Make space in the shed, a days work, clean both places. Move cupboard, sweep etc etc.

TWO full rubbish bins (recycling and rubbish, some in neighbors recycling bin) but it is done.

Hall stand looks magnificent, much more impressive than in the shop.

Nine spindles along the top, an odd number so there is a spindle in the middle of the stand.

Glad I bought it! If I had hesitated I would have lost it–lots of interest in it I was told.

Will take a picture but my internet is crap so not going to upload it.
