Why dont folk do jobs proper what if i have a flood wont be able turn water off
On occasion we’ve had our water turned off at the stopcock in the kitchen, grid in the road 3 doors down, and at the opposite end of the street behind ours. Obviously differing numbers of properties affected in each case but they’d always be able to turn your water off.

No stopcock in kitchen they took that out when i had new kitchen and put switch on wall that supposed to turn water off it doesnt .
No way will mine turn off they got a part to put on something in grid outside on street but couldnt even turn it so gave up Managing with boiler turned off and water tap when they ready running fully in kitchen
We were having a good deep clean of the kitchen and front room. Thought while I'm off, I'm aswell too.
I decides I will get rid of 3 things, an old money bank, a sign that used to live in kitchen and now doesn't and a door stop that had seen much better days.
OH literally about has a meltdown. He says he has sentimental value.... now this is because they are presents.... wr have awful presents all over the place his mum sent us. She buys tat for us and really expensive stuff for herself. Now that's her perogative ... but why am I left with all this stuff ?
I said the stuff being thrown out, one was from a friend I don't see, she in Australia so she won't notice. I bought the other and the door stop your mum gave us to go with the other 2 door stops she's given us over the years. And this one was dirty.
As they say am I being unreasonable ?
Ps just for clarity. He never contacts them , it's all through me. And when I organise a visit (twice a year)we have to drive 63 miles to see them and they've not visited us in 5 years !!

No your not being unreasonable at all.
If it were me, I would say ok keep it, but move it somewhere out of sight for a week or so then throw it he will probably never notice, my OH doesnt.
My Oh will not throw clothes away, says he will get back in them !!ahem. ok so I box them up, then get rid a month or so later, he has never asked for them.

You should be fine to get rid of the money bank and the sign, the doorstop might be more tricky.
Since it has ‘sentimental’ value, perhaps you could repurpose it as a weight to hold the outside bin lid down in the wind? In fact you could probably get rid of, I mean repurpose all of them in such a fashion 🤣
My husband won’t let me throw anything out either. He has two wardrobes full of clothes in the loft that he moved into this house with and hasn’t worn in 10 years but I can’t throw out for sentimental reasons. No way he’d ever be able to wear them, they went up there damp and they’re now black and furry so they’re just extra insulation at this point 🤦😖
Well they are all in the bin. Thanks for all the replies.
I've assured him I won't make decisions without him. But also if something is broken or just disgusting it's going.
I also reminded him his parents did a severe throwing out at theirs and binned things that were his and from him. They also gave us back 3 huge cross stitches I did for them for various anniversaries etc as they no longer matched her house. They've sat upstairs ever since.
Good afternoon all! Long time no see. Hope you’re all well?
Discovered I had some dormant Morrisons accounts that I hadn’t logged into for over 4 years with some glitchy items in them. 20 packs of Ferrero Rocher, 20 x Cumberland sausages, 20 x Lincolnshire sausages, 20 x youngs fish cakes and 20 x packs of beef meatballs delivered for £70.
Should have put milk, cheese, butter, eggs and all other staples in my basket too - now there’s a thought?! Who knows where we will be another 4 years….

Hi. Sounds about right. DH only has a few sentimental items and they relate to running
B.’ham cousins have a house full of gifts that folk gave then in the distant past. They don’t talk to most of them now and it will be a nightmare when they eventually need a clear out.
I just have stuff - think glichy plus a couple of boxes with sentimental to me but know DS will not hang onto it. He did know my grannie so why would he want her purse etc was his answer to an unasked question

Quite a few things have silently slipped away in this house - no one noticed or made a comment afterwards eg a long footstool made by m-i-l probably in some rehab and recreation class at the hospital as she was a nurse - the local charity furniture place took that plus a few other buts I gave them when they were here. Other bits have gone onto the local recycle and reuse groups or Olio ( the food sharing app which has a none food section now) or into bric a brac boxes for the charity shop. Our dining room is the epicentre of accumulations of stuff to be sorted - might be Christmas before the next visitors arrive so I have to make a start on de-cluttering the dining room ...

We no longer have this problem as we got rid of most of our belongings five years ago when we moved. Let's be honest apart from Christmas decorations and suit cases anything else in the loft is one step from being binned 😂

We gave little miss stuff that was hers and the pride and joy of a full large suitcase of baby cardigans that my aunt knitted for her. My aunt knew she wouldn't be here to knit for her when needed
And she may or may not ever need them but they are there. 6 sizes and probably 50 cardigans. That is precious. A novelty set of egg cups. Torches, gloves with cats on list goes on and on., not joyful. Charity shop onwards.
I remember your grannies purse. See now that's something to be sentimental about 😃

As for roast dinners - my in-laws were very old school. In the summer at the weekends they would go to North wales on a Friday night as they had the caravan on a site there but on Sunday morning they would be back home early. M-I-L tackled all of the washing and the main event - a full roast dinner even though there was just 2 of them - every single Sunday even in the height of summer. F-I-L would then go and sleep dinner off before going to the pub. There was no logical reason why they could not have stayed at the caravan until late Sunday afternoon and had a salad dinner but no it always had to be a roast.

Obviously it’s up to you but my advice here is to get rid. I have a work colleague ( now a friend ) she’s having a terrible time with “ getting rid “ it’s got to the stage where she won’t let anyone in her house. Her sentimentality just makes no sense. I could go on and on here but the last conversation with her was that she was having an argument with her partner because she wanted to keep her mums commode. They can’t move in their house. She’s got old plant pots outside the front with completely dead plants. She said that this person bought this that person bought that. It just might come to life.😳
Any recommendations please on Pet Insurance, my insurer More Than want another £12 extra a month !!!
I cant help sorry mine went up a lot when it was due for renewel and i was afraid change in case Rosie was really poorly with same symptoms and insurance wouldnt pay .
Sadly I'm the 'Keeper' here, although I appreciate the need to 'get rid'! Mr Pops doesn't really help when I ask should it stay or should it go!
Saying that if I can 're-gift', rather than chuck I feel quite happy.
Late mam loved china, I have bits and bobs of a nice Wedgewood Tea set which of course I never use. I spent a lot of time looking for single 'vintage' tea plates for her for her Birthday, Doh! give her one from the sideboard!

She was delighted and I felt good.
sorry to quote myself but vintage china reminded me of Rhosy and the incredible Elite sending all the china for her daughters wedding!
Good afternoon all! Long time no see. Hope you’re all well?
Discovered I had some dormant Morrisons accounts that I hadn’t logged into for over 4 years with some glitchy items in them. 20 packs of Ferrero Rocher, 20 x Cumberland sausages, 20 x Lincolnshire sausages, 20 x youngs fish cakes and 20 x packs of beef meatballs delivered for £70.
Should have put milk, cheese, butter, eggs and all other staples in my basket too - now there’s a thought?! Who knows where we will be another 4 years….
Looks like we're all on elite party trip .. Time for a catch up I think.. I'm usually upstairs and dont venture down very often
Who's coming on the trip..do we have mini bus or coach..?🤣🤣
