The Un-Purge!

OKAY, so after some consultation with my husband I decided to hang on to those two tables a little while longer.  I don't know exactly where we are going to keep them but once I saw them out in the house I felt too attached to let go of them.  Moreso the smokers table as it is similar to one my parents owned in the 70's, I suppose it kind of reminds me of my Dad since he smoked for about 45yrs.  Although smoking is not a good thing it was a big part of him and all my memories of my childhood involve him getting on with stuff and having a cigarette hanging out his mouth, or lying in bed watching tellie with a fag, sending me to the corner shop to buy him a pack of Viscount or Winnie Red.... He gave up smoking in his late 50s when he found out he had angina and had to have a triple bypass.  It scared the be-Jesus out him and he just gave up, I think there were a few relapses in the early days but he did it and lived until the ripe age of 81!!

The Bookcase & Lamp seem to have created a lot of interest!

Anyway, back to the Purge - I took some gear to our local Vinnies (charity shop) last week.  I have got a couple of bundles for family, some toys to take to Mum's to update the really old, crappy toys the kids play with when they are visiting.  I also have a dozen items listed on eBay - my old motorbike gear, baby stuff, vintage stuff.... AND there's more that I just haven't had time to list yet.  It is really time consuming!  Can I just say I'm a bit anxious about what these items are going to fetch!!
