Fun stuff, moving, throwing stuff out

Heather, on October 12, 2016 at 9:08 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 7

What do you do with all your excess stuff? Donate? What about old photo albums of past relationships ( I'm talking hs scrapbooks) .. toss it? Kkeep for memories one day? Moving Sucks! I've donated a lot but I'm starting to get frustrated and just want to throw everything out!

    I took the photos I wanted from my HS scrapbooks and tossed the rest. I sold, donated, threw out when we moved. If it doesn't have a place, it goes.

    I don't know but I wonder about the same thing! My FH's parents are still together so they have a lot of his old stuff in their attic, including old photos of girlfriends and such. Mine divorced and moved so I have everything of mine shoved in a closet in the home I share with FH.. including photos from old relationships. It's not that I miss that person or need these pictures, I guess I just feel weird about tossing it all in the trash?

    Scrap books? from past relationships? Trash. I donated a bible that some random girl gave him with his name engraved on it. I try to sell the things that may have value (mostly clothes) on eBay, and then I take them to a consignment shop, and if they still aren't bought, I donate them. I've never been one to look over my shoulder at old stuff that I purge.

    I do keep photos of my son's biological father. They don't have a relationship, but maybe someday they will, and those photos might mean something to my son.

    I moved in April and MAJORLY purged! I had so much stuff I wasn't using anymore, I donated 90% of it. I need to go through and purge more of it. I have all my sweaters packed away right now, but it might be time to pull them out again.

    I usually donate any old clothes/ small furniture type items. As for the pictures I agree with one of the PP keep the ones you want to keep and throw away the others.

    I try to sell what I can, eBay, bookscouter for old books that I don't want or need, then donate the rest.
