But at the moment nothing is selling so I'm tempted to just pack it all up and give it to charity. <br /><br />My parents have been clearing out stuff but to be honest my mother has taken it to the other extreme and thrown out all the old family photos. If I'd known I would have kept them or at least copied them and kept them on a disc. I feel she's kinda wiped out my history.
