RUBBISH

I did some sorting today - shed, basement, cupboards - storing away the 'good stuff' and piling up things for the tip.

Now, I wonder if you know this but women have a different idea of what is rubbish than men do.
The Old Girl considers anything as rubbish that hasn't been used in a while. 

I look at things and evaluate:

usefulness

value

historical importance

emotional connection

future usefulness

fond memories

quirky interest

just in case it might come in handy sometime

how much it cost me x years ago

what is it?

and generally put it back on the shelf or at the back of the shed.

In some cases I have had to sneak back an item that she has thrown on the scrap heap.
