Dumped

Good evening. 

This came up on my screen the other day. Someone reporting on social media. I see skips like this occasionally, full of house contents that have been cleared out. Some personal possessions. Such a shame that the relative has done this. 

Charity shops can sometimes take in some of it, but I have seen a notice on the door of one saying they can't accept any more donations, because they don't have the room. 

I sometimes take a look and see if there is anything in a skip that I might be able to use. I don't do that as much as I used to because I don't want my house filling up with clutter that I have to later get rid of. I recently rescued a step ladder and gave it to a friend. She was pleased because she can now reach the upper branches when she is cutting back her trees. 

If you take anything out of a skip you must knock the door and ask permission. That's if the house is occupied. Use your common sense if there is no one around. Any lights on or curtains closed?   

 62 years of life together only to be put into a skip as rubbish. Clothes,records,crockery and everything in between. So sad to have to do this but it does make you realise do we really need all the stuff we collect over our lives only to be thrown away.

Eventually I want to whittle down my possessions to just a few items. I don't want my stuff thrown in a skip. 

Thanks for popping in. Have a good weekend. Toodle pip.   ilona
