"Cleaning out the loft"

I've spent the day thus far cleaning out my loft which for the most part has been exhausting is there was about 7 tonnes of pure junk there.

It was a little video game nostalgia trip for me too as I found an Amstrad, Commadore 64, Spectrum ZX, Megadrive II and Playstation 1, ooh and broken garden furnature.

The oddest find has to be someone elses stamp collection, a man called Stanley Gibbon's, who presumably lived here once, took it upon himself to hide his stamp collection in the space between the loft and the second floor ceiling - but I got it! To eBay we go...

I've also found manuals for Adobe Photoshop 6.0, Adobe InDesign an a bunch of other Adobe products - anyone want them?

Oh and does an employer legally have to pay you more for working a bank holiday or not? I've been asked to work Monday, see, but I dont know if its financially worth it. £4.50 an hour versus sitting on my ass at home is a no-contest really on a bank holiday.

Since having our new roof, our loft is just full of dust. The stuff thats up there is covered in the stuff, even tho' we put blankets and stuff over it. I suppose it would be nice to see whats up there...

Wrong- I could pick up certain stamps from the 1840s for as little as a few pounds each, depending on condition. Anything that there are few of is worth more- age has little to do with it.

£4.50 an hour is tantamount to assrape

I'd make some sort of joke about your granny certainly charging a lot per hour, but I feel that's just wrong.

Anything that is old must be worth alot.

I can't really look around my loft- it's full of fibreglass insulation, which isn't the safest of things to inhale, as it contains asbestos, among other things.

When we moved in this house we are in now we went into the loft and found 1 really old plate not damaged, and some sort of set of glass flask things. Look like they could be genuine Antiques, well maybe.

We have yet to get them looked at just havent got round too it.

The bloke that lived here before died, last year at the age of 96, so if he as had them past down to him from other family members who knows.

Yeah whatever
