Someone start a thread about how to get DH/OH/SO to get rid of accumulated junk please! I've just started a thread, someone else's turn. grin

No, Nonnie, you are definitely not alone. I have that exact same worry.

You are not alone Nonnie?

Would you please have a word with DH? He won't throw anything away and I'm sure we have loads of things which are of no further use in his shed and I know also in the loft. I worry about all the stuff we will leave behind for DSs to sort out when we die!

When you've have something for such a long time it becomes part of your memories and gains sentimental value.

Thanks, I did try and use it as a planter a while ago, but the holes were in the wrong place, and it didn't drain properly. It was a very strong wheelbarrow, and couldn't drill more holes, hence it stayed in a corner for ages until yesterday.

Or plant some plants in place & shape of the wheelbarrow.

Even better, you could have turned the wheelbarrow into a planter. Very rustic, very trendy,

why not get a wheelbarrow shaped planter and fill the void that way.... Or have a large glass of vino and toast all the wheely excellent times you had together!

Yesterday, our old wheelbarrow was driven away to the tip. We brought it with us from our old house, 50 years ago come September. It was rusty, had holes in the metalwork, had a very wonky wheel, and was no longer used, so I asked DH to take it to the tip. So why do I now feel miserable. It had been a good workman in it's day, and was worked hard. Silly I know, but after such a long time there is now a wheelbarrow shaped hole in the garden. ?
