In preparation for this we spent most of the weekend clearing out her garage which has become a dumping ground for lat 5 years or so life crap and other boxes of guff which people seem to accumulate over a lifetime.

Some of the more unusual items we found include several odd socks, whos partners still live in the chest of drawers, a rather natty wine bottle holder made from metal in the shape of a cowboy, a miniature game of air hockey and the cd single of Lou Begga's Mambo no. 5

However we did manage to locate Mrs Squil's current passport and about £15 in notes and coinage.

So people of Dakka, what stuff have you come across whilst having a clear out? The more bizzarre and unexplained the better!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664558.page GMT Having a good clear out Some old WWII bullets stuck in the wall.

Oh and one of those really hilariously expensive walking sticks, which turned out to be ivory and mahogany, concealing a 18 inch blade inside! Brilliant.

Freaked us all well out when we first started finding these bones, it we hadn't seen the first couple of cat skulls we were getting ready to call the police in case we'd stumbled upon some grisly hidden murder scene or similar. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664743.page GMT Having a good clear out
The only thing I found was quite strange. I was walking around our garden when I found a butterfly impaled with a skewer. Confused, I picked it up (by the skewer of course) and saw that the skewered was flayed out at the end. That was when I realised I had found that missing arrow from a few weeks before.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664855.page GMT Having a good clear out http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664902.page GMT Having a good clear out http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664943.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300149/1664943.page GMT Re:Having a good clear out
