Nice one on the clear-out pal. Only pity is you didnāt take it to a charity shop or a homeless shelter. Would it not have warmed your heart to think of a homeless lad in a garish suit playing guitar on the side of the street?

Mate, Iād be ashamed to see a homeless person in some of the clobber Iāve purchased over the years - fucking hell, it sent a shiver down my spine just looking at it.

I know what you mean. When I lived in Dublin, the shit - and I mean SHIT - I bought in the Arnottās sale. Sickening.

I dropped a load of stuff to a charity shop recently, a wonderful clear out and I felt good about landing them with my shit at the same time.

I enjoyed Nemboās list and Iām sure he found it therapeutic. Iām just sorry he didnt fuck the lot into a charity shop somewhere. Some homeless fella could have spent hours playing with that games console.

Good to see that the two work shirts avoided the cull.

I thought of that scenario too, but was trying to figure out where the poor bastard would plug it in. Would he swan into a shelter with a PS3 in tow? I ended up going with the garish suit and guitar scenario.

Always a nice buzz when you see a black lad wearing your suit that you left into Mrs Quinnās charity shop for the blind.

Even better when it really suits him (except for the sleeves being too short).

Thereās joy to be had in overpricing something and getting some sucker to buy it. Makes you feel slightly less of a fool for the original purpose and a bit delboy trotter esque. The downsides are waiting at a filling station for god knows who to turn up.
Itās kind of therapeutic to de-clutter your life like that.
Before our recent move we threw out about 20 big black bags of stuff between myself & the missus. Pure clutter we had accumulated over the years, shit that I have no idea why I was keeping.
The amount of clothes I got rid of that I hadnāt worn & had no intention of wearing was incredible. Iād say you could fit my wardrobe into two suitcases now.
Thereās two boxes that I still havenāt unpacked 6 months later in the press thatāll be the next for the chop.
The only thing I kept that were unnecessary were my books. But Iād never part with them.

Sending off emails here notifying clients Iām finishing up on Thursday and providing them with an alternative point of contact.
One particular client replied back referring to himself as Vino, his first name is Vincent.
FFS sake

Seriously @Nembo_Kid give it to a charity. Iāve given loads of stuff to charity, donāt dump it.
Can you do any kind of council pick up in Ireland now? I can arrange council pick ups of all kinds of stuff which is so handy. Itās amazing the stuff people throw out though. I reckon I have over a grands worth of plant pots in the garden that people were throwing out, along with plants, bricks, loads of timber, artificial grass (which now forms a wicket in the back garden). A massive green glazed pot I picked up (well, struggled with for half an hour to get into the car) from someone throwing it out a few months ago. It has a tiny crack in it, but retail on that thing is about $400. It sits on our back deck now with a bouganvillia growing in it.
You have to understand Fitzy, that not everyone has an estate where they can stockpile other peopleās redundant items. Youāre one of the lucky ones.

Iām not stockpiling, Iām designing a landscape.
Iām not judging you. Dress it up however you like; youāve taken other peopleās discarded junk and are storing it on your estate.
If youāre happy to call a perfectly good glazed pot that normally sells for $400 junk, then good luck to you.
