So we’re moving this weekend. It’s interesting seeing my life in boxes. And it’s a battle keeping Suzanne from wanting to throw everything out. Perfectly good stuff which we aren’t using exactly now, but which will probably be indispensable at some time in the future. “We can always buy another one,” is the familiar argument. “We ain’t got no money to buy another one, and why buy another one when we have a good one here?” is the familiar retort.
Then there’s my “stuff”. My collections of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, trading cards and whatnot. I dig this stuff, it’s part of what makes me “me“. I don’t think Suzanne really gets that. I think it’ll be better when we have built our next house and I can have my own room or study, so until then it’s gotta remain in boxes in the garage but I know she’d rather put it out on the verge or in the recycling bin.
No way – you have trading cards as well – and you horde like Adam – ditch it all if you don’t use it. Elissa
Whatever you do – DON’T LISTEN TO HER … admittedly, we had to get a house with a third storey just for the collections, but it was worth it!!!! – Adam
My moving motto is that if you haven’t used it for at least 6-12mths and especially if it hasn’t seen light since we have been married then it needs to go. I can’t see anything wrong with that at all. S
