Remudamom Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 What would you gleefully chunk into the fire and then dance the happy dance? Fooseball table. Weights. Old clothes that people won't throw away. Dh's computer desk. The "dog sofa". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.griff Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Our sectional sofa and matching recliner, excess clothes excess paperwork, junk toys (the kids REALLY don't play with many toys, they play with their plush toys, video games, and everyday objects). The entertainment center in our family room (it's going into the dumpster when we move <insert happy dance>). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PariSarah Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 We are pretty ruthless about culling unnecessary or unwanted items. I'm going through a wardrobe crisis now, though, and would gladly be rid of every article of clothing I own--assuming, of course, that I would get some insurance money to replace them!

JFSinIL Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 It is an OLD set of redwood picnic table and chairs handed down from in-laws. It was never taken care of, and the top of the table is falling apart, and chairs are too dangerous to sit on - you get the picture. It looks like cr*p!! Last week was our annual "no fee for throwing out more than you are normally allowed spring cleaning city-wide junk fest." The kids even asked hubby to PLEASE let us drag the rotting wood items to the curb. Nooooo - he really thinks, this un-handiman, that someday he will figure out how to repair the items. Sigh. So it remains in the middle of our not-big backyard, an eyesore. Anyone got a match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekanamom Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The rotten wood deck and our falling down fences. I would do such a happy dance over those. They'd make a pretty good bonfire, too! (Darn rotten wood. The only thing that lasts around here is vinyl.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonia Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The traditional tables I bought when I was going through *that* decorating phase, the toys my kids never play with but can't part with, most of my wardrobe, all the gadgets my gadget-guy dh buys, all the sports equipment I bought because I was going to play (not!)
