What daft item do you have that you can't part with?

[SNOWBANDIT]

My Left Leg - nearly had it chopped off beginning of last year, but truth be told I have grown quite attached to it.

 

[Teesside_Steel]

The stupidest thing...

I did a degree later in my twenties, rather than straight out of college. So I was writing my dissertation in my old house with the now wife, then girlfriend. We’d not long since moved in and there were boxes etc. to sort as I started. Anyway, somehow an old OO gauge Hornby coal truck, from back when I was a kid and had a very basic train set, ended up on the computer desk for some reason. I became attached to it as I used it to prop up my mobile while I watched nexflix etc while working. Sort of feel like it helped me through Uni.

 

[HarryVegas]

A barely payable little record that's smaller than a single but plays at 33rpm, from about 1967 of me and siblings being encouraged to sing nursery rhymes by our Mam and Dad. I believe it was cut in a tent at the Cleveland/Teesside show at Stewart Park but I was too young at the time to remember anything about it now.

 

[Blf]

An imperial socket set dated 1950. It was my late dads. Weighs a ton and I have never used it but love that it's in my garage.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

I have a granet Mortar and pestle that I've had for 3 flat / house moves. It's never been used. I am confident it never will.

My misses plays hell because she nearly drops it everytime she has to move it (it's well heavy).

I just keep saying 'I'll need it one day'

 

[SmallTown]

A toolbox I built as part of my apprenticeship. Its all beaten up now and has followed me around the country. I also have a new smarter toolbox bit can't bring myself to get rid of something I've built myself

 

[TheLodger]

A 1980s waiters friend, its bright purple with Sunday Times stamped on it, whenever we have parties I put it in my pocket, I totally refuse to let anyone use it, It's kept in my knick-knack draw, but I do use it for all sorts, the little cutter on it is tough and very handy.

[FlapJacks]

My misses plays hell because she nearly drops it everytime she has to move it (it's well heavy).

I have a number of massive dents in my wooden kitchen top where I've dropped my mortar (or pestle) onto it from just a modest height.

 

[London_Boro]

Some cracking nik-naks here!

Which reminds me, my laptop is running low on battery and my daughter is at her laptop at the table tooo. Geoff to the rescue!

 

[Derby_Red]

Dad's old toolbag from way back, sat in the garage. Thought for may a year it was full of useless stuff till I needed a jubilee clip at short notice, went in there as a last resort, and boom, there it was!
