Gah, all my beloved old AP, Superplay, N64 mags and Amiga games are destined for the bin tomorrow.My Mother has issued her final ultimatum to clear her loft of my stuff in readiness for selling the house and i have absolutely nowhere store them.

I fear i may cry real tears when i close the wheelie bin lid on them for the last time.Much to the bemusement of my non-hoarding Mother.

Can't you just have them in your living room for a few months and then move them into the new loft?

I'd take the Superplays off you, for $$$. Even Future don't have any copies anymore.

The chances of her allowing all my hoarded old junk into her shiney new house are slim at best.

Oh, you could have them for free.It depends on how much of a chew on it'll be packing them up and stuff.

You can indeed.They're issues 1-40 i think, i'm pretty sure 40 onwards are kept aside in my house as that's my fave era of AP.

Aren't there any nearby beteo members who could store them for you? Got bugger all room here but if you were local I'd find room for 'em as I regret binning my speccy mags years ago.

As a hoarder, I will say: "You won't miss them."

I used to keep everything. I still feel like I should, but being ruthless helps, and honestly, if they have been sat in your mum's attic for so long, you didn't really want them.

Blimey that was an eye opener, i seem to have bought some rubbish magazines in my time.Commodore Computing International and Your Commodore form 1985 look a barrel of laughs.

Incidently anybody else remember CCI's review score system of Awesome, Mega, Crisp, Iffy, Dodgy?

I always thought that if a bad earthquake struck Wellington and I lost everything I own and had to start again, I'd be more relieved than upset that my big collection of junk would be lost. And I'm quite sure I would be a lot more vigilant about not allowing the collection to start again.

But while the collection still exists... I will fight to the death for it to exist and continue growing.

I probably need to temporarily develop a Tyler Durden or something.

Anyway, my parents tried to rid me of my old magazine collection years ago. It's one of the reasons I feel so disconnected from them. A real family would have respected my property and my penchant for hoarding.

There's always the ol' two-year rule: if you've not used something in two years, scrap it unless it has sentimental value. I need to be more ruthless with stuff, it has to be said. Our loft is full of boxes of old software and other crap.

But everything has sentimental value. You wouldn't have bought it in the first place if you hadn't felt sentimental about it in the shops. Everything has a value, and sentiment is cheap.

No, kids don't know the value of anything today.

Well, sure, but I'm thinking of the difference between chucking out some old mags that you never read versus binning your family snaps that you've just not happened to look at in a couple of years.

I can see me doing at least 3 car boot sales this year and I have a load of stuff to ebay when I have time.

Anyone want an old video recorder that takes 8mm tapes?

Dimrill, for the love of... for the LAST time, that does NOT mean that you were 'in' Reader's Wives. Technically, yes, you can be found within certain issues of it. But not in the way that everyone else means 'in'.

Oh, I give up! *mugs for camera*

It's silly to get emotionally invested in stuff.

That should be saved for cuddly fellas.
