Chunks.... me have kept only a couple of the wedding pics as they were only snapshots and I don't need to see them ever again!! But normally I agree.... photo's are not to be thrown!

To me 'stuff' is just 'stuff' - I don't need it to remember. The only things that are sacrosanct (sp?) are photographs - I never throw those away...

Look to this day for it is life the very life of life. In it's brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence the joy of growth the splendor of action the glory of power, For yesterday is but a memory And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness and every tomporrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Best of luck Gordon

Well I wasn't but I could always drop a veiled threat if he starts annoying me! lol Daisy

me giggling cos Chris would freak if he thought you were looking for it!! ;O)

Can't even find my decree absolute, but I've got Fran!!! Daisy

Thanks Ann.... me just letting go of certain bits of the past and keeping the good bits!! Plus the decree absolute will always remind me that the wedding happened in the first place!! LOL!! xx

Diana and those of you who have sad memories of your past. I hope that 2007 will bring joy and happy moments to remember to you. Ann Glos

Diana, Yes, we had a bit of a clear out of the past recently too... VERY difficult, but sometimes just has to be done. We've only done half the job though, but the rest will go soon. Paul x

Ended up clearing out some drawers and found 3 brand new tops that I had forgotten about!! Yeay me got xmas party wear without even trying!! ;o)

Well done Diana, I am sure you will move forward next year in leaps and bounds. I am the world's worst hoarder, mine has become an ocd, so well done to all of you who have managed to get rid of things and I love the idea of the memory boxes. Liz

Daughter just threw out 20 year old feather quilt from her first marriage, used daily, even though she has been happily remarried for 13 years. She just couldn't believe she had kept it so long.!!!! Sunny R

Shelli, Forgot to add that I kept a couple of items from each of them as memories to put in my box. Our memories are important too. Viv

Diana, Well done...New Year, new start. All the best for 2007 and I hope all that you wish for comes true. ps. I have 43 years worth of 'stuff ' that I need to clear out will you come and stay for a few weeks and help sort it? All offers gratefully accepted:>)) Beryl x

I think there comes a time when you know its right to let go and move on. Its not easy cos the past is part of you,but, the future is also part of your path, Cant be easy letting go, but you need to move on Shirley

Helen, Am finding one finger typing difficult enough without trying to READ poetry-not a romantic but will admit to being a big softie ! but don't tell the lads ! x

Dave, you old romantic!!! Or have you been reading poetry again???

Wait until they are a bit older Shelli and sit down with them and let them help you decide. My kids were all for slinging everything which is why I put in their first babygrow, pair of shoes, a really nice dress/romper suit, first toy, etc. When they saw what I had done they then wanted to add things that gave them special memories. Bryony often asks me to put special mementoes in her crate and Nic and Josh know their stuff is there for them when they want it. Viv

Diana 2007 is going to be your year I feel it in my water!!! Sunny R

Viv i could never choose thats why I've stil got it all and i mean all!!! Dave i'll try but kids on school hols now :((((( hate winter hols most as I can't get out to tire them out!!!!
