Re: Things for BEST!
I must admit I tend to "save" stuff for "best" but then it gets forgotten about or the kids laugh at it because it has become unfashionable and out of date. This goes for clothes as well because I tend to live in tee-shirts and trousers.So like qetta I have resolved to get rid and not be cluttered up. We also are likely to downsize in the future and so it might as well go now rather than later. I feel quite positive and firm about it until I start and then I know I will get sentimental and most of it will probably end up back in the cupboards - but at least the cupboards will then be tidy and I will know what I have to get rid of another day.

Re: Things for BEST!
Approximately every six months a friend of mine will sort through things, and if she comes across a box that as remained un-opened for those six months - she chucks it - WITHOUT opening it!!!
I have said; "Aren't you curious"?
"Nope", she replies, "If, I have done without it for six months, I clearly do not want it, and besides peeking will just tempt me to keep whatever"!!!!

Re: Things for BEST!
Yes they do...It's been a hard one because at first she thought that she was only going for a couple of weeks so refused to take anything personal but I have been taking a little something from her home everytime I go in...
It will soon look homely in fact we took her out for a while on Sunday and when we got back to her room she looked at the photos that I had put on her window sill smiled and said 'Oh good there they all are'...... so hopefully it's beginning to look homely already for her

Re: Things for BEST!
JJ'sgirl, That sounds lovely, and obviously gave familiarity and comfort to your Mum.Azz, yes, it does help to have something different (when needed) but still feel it is not merely keeping the wardrobe looking smart! Not easy is it, to use but still pull something nice out of the hat?!!
