She used to go to auctions and buy more than we ever needed and then it just got put in the cupboard. I needn't have ever bought a thing, could have just got it out of her cupboard. I think as time went on she forgot it was there. It was silly not to have used it. I make a point of using everything, whatever it is, good, bad or otherwise and it all goes through the dishwasher.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-7168592923067821612019-05-01T21:42:23.325+01:002019-05-01T21:42:23.325+01:00I collect armnt deco crockery

A neighbour and I set up a monthly board game evening in our homes so I make sure to get my vide-grenier stuff out for that (we all bring WAY too much food of course). Still, unless 60 people turn up next time I'm NEVER going to use it all.
