A few of my Favourite things

The delivery of goods from London didn't happen today for reasons best understood by Wridgeways removals and has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Yet another early morning (up at 9ish this morning, a record).

So I spent the whole day sorting through old storage boxes at mum's place to see if i can throw anything away or if I have other things I want to put into storage...

It's funny when you go through a life times worth of stuff how much junk you keep. My favourites include:
  1. 1 Glow in the dark Mary
  2. Not one, but 2 pairs of AmberVision sunglasses
  3. A photo of friends & me after we "survived" a pub crawl on the Gold Coast (completely forgot that one)
  4. a photo of my first sleep over (11, 12 years old?)
  5. Letters from my best friend in Ireland circa late 1980s. Every one. I could probably get blackmail money out of her for them hehe
  6. every essay I've ever written for Uni
  7. diaries from Year 11 & 12 with invites to parties glued in.
  8. a selection of palankas (if you're reading this and you know what these are chances are I have one from you!)
  9. crappy 80s art work when i was going through my phase of hand drawing popstars (you'd think we couldn't afford posters)
  10. old jewellry I'm gonna keep, not because they'll come back into fashion but because they'll be good dress up
  11. my sparkly purple frog that sat on my keyboard during every gig I ever played
  12. flyers for gigs for the Heard!!

And that was only the first 4 boxes- who knows what gems await tomorrow...
