Bric-a-brac....is there just too much

Most of these charity bags that pop through the door are not charity. You have to check the charity number on the bag to make sure it’s real. I spoke to the police about it but they couldn’t/ wouldn’t really help

I dont do bric a brac,I'm too lazy to dust it so I just dont have any.There might ocassionaly be a vase of flowers..though not often as my OH is allergic to pollen and I have one Buddha with a copper candle holder in front of him apart from that only the odd scented candle on a window sill.I have boxes of stuff in the attic that were my OH's grannies and I've promised my wee girls they can take it all to a boot sale and keep the proceeds ,once Grandpa agrees to let it go...lol.I'll keep working on him.

I was looking at a display of furniture and household knickknacks in our local shopping arcade and when the salesman tried to persuade me into buying a lovely carved bowl I told him I no longer bought anything without first considering where it would be put once I got it home. He laughed and said that if everyone did that he would be out of business! Mind you sometimes something slips into my house regardless but not very often!

Agreed. But I also think people are slowly waking up to it. I hate waste and try to reuse everything and I don't buy new wherever possible. Quite fun having a charity shop rummage when I need a replacement soap dish or whatever!
