by your mum, dad, partner, wife,etc. Caught a bit of one of those auction programmes on the tellie: they were auctioning a load of cigarette cards. It brought back memories of the collection I once had and which my old Mum chucked out, after I got married and left home,along with loads of programmes and Eagle comics because 'they gathered dust'. Anyone else lost mementos etc. because of spring cleaning or anything?

You had to queue up on Saturday mornings outside their shop in Covent Garden along with hundreds of other Mods.I remember getting in the queue around 6.00am and not getting away until 11.30ish!
I kept them in perfect nick too!
I rue the day.
The next time I saw a similar item it was in an antiques shop in Rye. Also seen them pop up on eBay.
I hope I'm not speaking out of turn - but go and see your Mum.
Life's too short.
Sorry.
Like Oggy - Sorry if I have talked out of turn.
So I chucked some of her clothes out of her 1st floor bedroom window on to the front lawn. We came to an understanding after that....basically that I moved out.
Is that a big zit?
No, it's Curbs.
;o)
My ex-wife threw out about a 1,000 Charlton programmes, some I rescued. She did hate me.
And the most upsetting actually, was Mum accidentially chucking out load of calendars and diaries from when I was about 7 until 16. There goes my autobiography as my memory is now toilet.
you're blaming your mum for turning you into a drunkard?
;o)
Quite possibly!
I was born in January '48.
Don't say sorry, but it's not going to happen - My Mum is a complete psycho, and as harsh as this sounds, I am better off without her and my family, just ask Maria.
Mine is still up in my mums loft in original boxes.
As for things thrown away - my nan bless her, when she was alive, gave away my grandad's entire Charlton football programme collection to the local cub scouts for their jumble sale. My gramps was a programme seller down at the Valley forever until he died in 1970 and had every signle programme - including the FA CUP finals and the the war final programmes etc anyway you get the picture.
She'd prmised them to me as I was a charlton fan and when I went round with my dad and we couldn't find them she remembered she'd let the cubs in and said to them they can help themselves to anything in the loft and all they took was the programmes. My dad went round there and everyone to a man denied all knowledge of ever getting them, he wasn't happy but what coudl we do. It was some collection I tell you.
I totally agree with NSU and coming from such a close family myself I just can't understand parents that shut their kids out and behave the way she has.
Sorry Oggy but life is also too short to spend time trying to make a close family with someone who is intent on being a loner and wants to be a sad lonely old woman.
A lot of stuff has been said from her part that can't be forgiven - that side if it isn't for this board - but let's just say we are better of with her out of our lives.
No offence meant on my part, obviously I was generalising - but understand what you've said.
All the best.
