Breaking up

[cruiser2]

That is what I have been doing yesterday and today. We had a new suite-a chair and a couch delivered yesterday. I have had to break up the old ones so that they would fit into the car so that I could take the rubbish to the council waste depot. The council would have charged £25.00 per item to remove them.
We are now posh for Christmas.

Oh very nice!!!!! You obviously didn't order from DFS if you got the new suite before Christmas

Oooh lovely!

I did a lot of breaking-up of furniture when we had to down-size before moving into our retirement apartment,
as charity shops were not interested in them.

It's satisfying work, isn't it?

I'll never forget Mick breaking down the HUGE wooden wardrobes he had in the house he was living in before we got married. We were moving to Swindon and there wasn't room for them, so he broke them down in situ as they were too big to get out through the doors

Our cancer charity shop takes all our stuff as long as it has afire certification and they collect
Council charge 30-00 I think

It's satisfying work, isn't it?

Oh yessss! I love destroying things, it is so therapeutic.

I remember when my dad had amusement arcades, as they were called and he wanted to get rid of some fruit machines, we all had great fun with sledge hammers and stuff, just smashing them all to bits.

And as they were made of nasty stuff - we found out later - we couldn't burn any of them.
