House clearance or burglary?
 
Needed to clear out the mother in law's house, she shuffled off her
mortal coil and we've sold it.

I said i'd rent a van and empty it and sell some stuff, the missus said
I didn't have time, and then there was project fear from her brother who
was one of a bunch who'd moved her furniture in, tales of woe of how it
took six of them to move the sofa and all the doors had to come off.

So I conceded and she ordered a 'clearance'.

We cajoled her brother into being there to let them in, he knew the
brief, they were emptying the gaff cos I haven't got time.

The soppy tart called up later to tell us they hadn't taken the sofa,
because it was too heavy, turns out they didn't take any of the pine or
flat pack ****e either. They just took the two 6 month old 1500 quid ish
beds and the stuff that was made of oak. ####s virtually burgled the
place while someone made them a brew.

A cautionary tale. You probably aren't the sort of dip**** who'd be done
over in this way, but even if so, make sure you administer it yourself.

So I rented a van......

I'm genuinely impressed, most would have gone straight for 'dick' but
you've obviously got more imagination.

We had a similar problem. SWMBO organised it all (her mother's house was
120 miles away and she stayed there for a bit).

She decide to get a clearance from the British Heart Foundation. They
wanted £250 for a full clearance, and she didn't have a lot of time so
said yes.

She wasn't there for the actual clearance, they took the good stuff and
left. She managed to get them back days later (another trip for her) and
they didn't take the carpets (she had to leave before them, leaving a
neighbour to oversee them).

My litigious 21 year old son spent an hour and a half on the phine to
them. They finally (one day before our clearance deadline) came back and
cleared the carpets.

Should have made it clear at the outset - take one. take all. The good
and the bad.

Unfortunately this tale is very common. Even if you use a charity to do it,
they are spo picky on what they want sadly.
