A very appropriate topic at the moment for me! My mother has just gone into a care home so we need to empty her house ready to rent it out. My brother and sister have begun to sort through her personal possessions ( I am shielding myself so cannot go) and dividing the stuff into rubbish, charity shop and keep. Of course everything is still in the house as the tips near us are still closed, as are charity shops - and when they do open I suspect they will both be very busy!
It's the growing "keep" boxes that bother me as I've offered to store them - but not for too long I hope! Mum only has a small wardrobe in her new room so I'm happy to store a few items of seasonal clothing for her. My son and daughter have both just bought their first houses so have asked for a few bits of kitchen wear and small pieces of furniture but I'm hoping those things can be collected direct from mums house. I personally only want a couple of special ornaments and maybe some quality crockery ( to replace my cheap things!) so I do worry about how much I'm going to be left with!
I suspect they will sit in my spare room and garage for a few months then I will chuck them out!
We cannot do a lot anyway during lockdown as the property management company that will be letting the house is closed and we will need to get someone to remove all the heavy furniture.
Nightmare really!
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁

Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
