Trivial things that make you sad

[????]

My football boots, staring at me from the cupboard under the stairs for 7 years unused, taking up space, reminding me of the past. They had to go. I'll never own another pair :(

When I see photos from our old gaff and my Marshall half stack can be seen in the background. Ended up selling it because it hadn't been used in a couple of years and was completely inpractical (especially for a non driver), but took me ages to force myself to sell, and it felt like I was drawing a line under my rock years.

My Sindys, with all their clothes ( many handmade by relatives and neighbours), in a box, tucked up with a handknitted blanket. In the loft. Never appealed to my sons :(

( is it feasible to wait/ hope for granddaughters???)

I've just sold my Roy of the Rovers comic and annual collection.

Thought about keeping it for the bairn but, tbh, looking back at it now.....it's utter guff.

Still shipping it off was done with a heavy heart.

Quidsey! You could have joined the mixed footie group on Peckham Rye on a Sat. morning - even a decrepit old codger like YOU can join. :))

My riding boots that I haven't been able to get on for several years but which I can't bear to get rid of.

All the holes to the right of the buckle of a belt I've had since since my teens.

You'll regret this one DC

I've had to retro purchase Dandy & Beano's

I feel the same about my climbing kit ????'s, still hang on (scuse the pun) to it tho

Giving my vinyl away.

Not so trivial really

Running out of the perfume someone special bought me, I could pop to Boots & buy another bottle - but it won't be the same :(

Puffs Puffa Rice not being available anymore in shops.

Lack of daylight. I keep telling myself it's only four weeks till the days start getting longer... This is the time of year when you need a long weekend somewhere sunny to perk you up.

Similar to ????- but with me it's my old skateboard rather than football boots.

Catching a whiff of the perfume that an ex used to wear. Has made me cry on occasions.

Hai Karate can do that Salsa

That's Fahrenheit for Men for you....

[Salsaboy]

Bollox to both of you!

[MrBen]

Cross posted but as Fahrenheit is the new Hai Karate I win.

As Salsa is my generation I win

I preferred Blue Stratos back in the day.

Saying goodbye to old toys is/was always surprisingly emotional. I blubbed like a baby during "When She Loved Me" in "Toy Story 2". But then again, Randy Newman's a bloody genius.

Quids. My football boots were finally thrown out last year after 20 years of gathering dust. I know how you feel.

I've recently grown a beard. It's full of grey and silver too. Either it's aged me 20 years or a I'm really looking my age.

That new eating places are springing up daily and I can't afford to eat in any of them :(

I have a load of When Saturday Comes if you have a gap to fill.

Some of the posters on here to be honest. You get little insights from their writing and it feels like a fair bit of lonely, sad and angry out there. Which translates to some depressing shit on here. I wish peace on all of them. (And it's not even Christmas yet).
