This just made me consider the age of a lot of my stuff. You’ll be relieved to know that I won’t list it all but I got married in 1986 and still use the same scales, Tupperware, colander, slow cooker (eternal bow pattern
) etc. They’re all in perfect nick. Obviously some things have been replaced and supplemented and my home is not at all dated and I’m not tight. I still use some of my dad’s diy tools and garden tools from the 60s and, yes, I inherited his box of screws!
Things were made to last then and perhaps it was also the way we were brought up; I was the youngest, my parents went through WW2 and we valued and cared for everything.
I only read this thread to see if her wet hair annoyed anyone else
