I had no idea they were so sought after!

I had no idea they were so sought after!

Probably beacuse they are just so useful. As a kid I remember all the best things came from the dairy book!!

Send him down to Help the Aged to buy them back

Slightly long story...when kitchen was refitted last year the space where I used to keep the books wasn't there anymore. So, during the refurb the books were boxed and ended up under the bed...spin forward to last week when we painted the bedroom and the books re-emerged.

I come home from work yesterday to be told he had taken then to Help the Aged...

So - I accept I wasn't looking at them very often, but there were some ones there I wanted to hang-on to, presents from people and signed copies, my speech day present from school...

That is so out of order. Why would anyone take someone else's stuff to the charity shop without asking them first?

And all that sentimental value too.

Send him down to Help the Aged to buy them back

I have been back to HTA, but it seems most of what goes to the charity shop ends up at the recycling and not on the shop shelves...which in my mind makes a mockery of dragging stuff all the way there when I could save the petrol and use the kerbside recycling instead...

Dump him and find someone else.




PS I'm veggie too and have a large collection of cookery books.

I clicked expect something done in compensation and other.

My other suggestion is, cry, as this is what I would do.

Sorry not much help

I'd go SPARE.

Insist he buys you new copies of the ones you used the most.

Agree with all of the above.


Including the going SPARE bit.

I would be so pissed off.

I would be madder than a wet hen if my other half threw out anything important of mine without checking first.
