Is this your last grasp at hedonism before the 'rents return to Blighty?
they arrived at 9.30 last night - me, mr PL and sis spent from 2pm - 8pm emptying boxes - my mum and dad do not know how to downsize
They have moved from a 9 roomed villa into a downstairs 1 bed flat but brought EVERYTHING back with them - I could have cried by 6pm last night - at the last count of useless stuff has come in at :-
Bearing in mind there are only 2 of them and has been for 25 years!!
10 tables of various descriptions and sizes,
4 TV's (that dont work cos they're Cypriot!!)
A bar with all its contents including 9 bottles of random ****ty spirits/liquers with approx 1" of alcohol left in each random bottle
10 bottles of vodka (actually useful)
10 bottles of JB Whiskey (actually useful)
52 towels,
3 hoovers - WTF!!
4 diving suits and tanks,
3 knitting machines,
2 sewing machines
Enought pots pans, dinner services to actually host the Royal Wedding!!
18 table cloths and matching sets of linen napkins
oh and a "spare" chest freezer
and their car was in the container too!
I have realised that my parents are hoarders and that has made me decide to start chucking everything in my life that hasnt been used in the past 6months - 12 months...
they did bring lots of furniture back too but for the cost of shipping everything over they could quite easily have started from scratch back in the UK at the price furniture/household goods are these days!!!!! grrrrrrr
