Has anyone ever seen "Life of Grime" with Mr Trebus? Well for those of you that haven't I will enlighten you. Mr Trebus was a polish gentleman living in Haringey North London. He had a hobby, he collected things, the things he collected were stacked around, and outside his house. Making it dangerous to live in.
Now for a long while we have reffered to Abi as "Mrs Trebus" she loves to hoard and is famous for staking things in her wardrobe, under her bed etc. No she is a teen, she like my other children before her, is expected to tidy her room 
Abi's has been needing a new bed for a while, and as we are clearing my mum's house (which has a nice new single bed) we have decided to decorate her room, before installing the new bed.
What a revelation! Under Abi's bed was loaded with all manner of goodies. Stashed in various bags (school, hnadbags etc) were packets of crisps, all now sadly out of date. Perhaps she was scared we would run out. I found all the odd socks and some matching ones...oh and knickers!!!! Oh Lordy!!!!!
Hopefully she will be pleased when she gets back, her room will be decorated, her PC (she inherited from Grandad) will be installed. Only we are decorating it cream....................she wanted purple walls
