So far I count 1.5 cu meters of 'flat' space used - drawers full of

things (3 drawers, I have 1/2 (underwear -daren't count it. I have 1/4
drawer for mine) plus 48" of hanging space for all the size 12 dresses
that no longer fit....compared with my niggardly 32" of hanging space
for the trousers and jackets that do...and shoes. Must be at least 20
pair compared to my 5...


I am tempted to suggest that a better use of the couple of thousand
quids worth of materials and labour to house them would be better spent
on half a dozen outfits only, that do fit and would actually be
worn...and the rest sold off or scrapped?

What do you think?
Curiously i have just made a change to our house contents insurance... i
asked SWMBO to 'add up' the value of contents on a room to room basis so
that we could compare what we both thought the place should be insured
for... anyway, she estimated in all seriousness that her clothes etc
were valued to the sum of about 5k !!! I was gob smacked ) Try asking
yours to do the same (for insurance purposes of course so that you come
away with both testicles!) you might be as surprised as i was!!!
