Seems to be a lack of threads for blokes.
On other threads,some ladies have mentioned, their OHs

I can bump this thead twice a day,so its easy to find.
Give it a go---Richo.

saw a show on t.v a few years back about Lord Byron he was always moving around the country by horse and cart and his servant had

to load and unload it up with loads of books every time and he said under his breath F*****G books !!!!!!!!!!!!!  hubby and i p**d ourselves

laughing and we still say it now when we have to move stuff ( said it a lot when we were packing the house up to move lol )

anway i think of it a lot with all your book stories hehehe

not being morbid here just nosey what will your kids do with them when one day 40-50 years from now (lol) when you fall off the

branch??  do they share your interest in them?

i have sold almost everything surplus my daughter would just chuck it all in a skip i know, so i at least we got a few bucks for it 

before she gets to toss it 

they have never repeated that show wish they would it was good

Morning Richo, everyone.  I had a big clean up when I sold the house, but have given all the grandkids things that belonged to Les, and the girls have all the jewellery that I don't wear, some was my grandmothers', haha and they have strict instructions not to bury me with any jewellery on.  I like to think one day Hannah will use my wedding ring.

Fires are terrible Richo, poor folk over there, floods will leave something  behind but fires take everything.

Have a great folks, BBL////

Would need a plot the size of a house block to bury me with all the books Linda.

Sometimes lying it the cot--looking at 5 bookcases with books piled on top

(with a lean)-i think i might get burried alive in the bedroom..lol.

Own up -who won the big lotto..........................................................Richo///////.

hi linda--- you will know from experience packing up a house its just crazy the amount of stuff we gather over years isnt it ,

and we have always! been chucker outers my hubby is a VERY big neat freak (as you have all prob gathered by now lol )

and we still got a big surprise at the huge amount we dident realy use  anyway all gone now just a very few odds and ends to get rid of

bush fires are the scairiest what a worry when they start to get closer  i hope no one gets killed this time 

true words floods a few things can be saved, fire gone 

jv---  your cousin could prob live a bit of a easier life if he sold now ( specialy if hes somewhere that the prices have gone up )

but it is a scairy thing moving when your older and have been in the same place for years

we were terrified  and couldn't believe we were doing it lol

but its the best thing we ever did !!  not been sorry for 1 second ( even though the stress nearly killed us lol ) 

should have seen the smiles on our faces as the removalist truck pulled away and it was all over 

[ooak3]

lol Richo you are a worry 

books next to the oven now leaning piles in your bed room 

do you read them !!  you must have pretty good eyes if you do !!!!

it wasent us that won im sure because we didnt have a ticket

think its going to get hotter than predicted here  its going up very fast

[serendipityricho]

Dont read much these days Ooaks--just a hoarder--and good at it.

There are 10 bookcases in the lounge room as well.lol.

The blaardy BOM--Melb..Melb airport and Bairnsdale are not

showing weather details---have washing to put out....mumble.....................Richo/////.
