Is there any room for actual books in your library? Plenty. 4 Ivars of books, hence the room's name, vs 1 of Transformers. |

An increasingly rare trip upstairs today.
Was able to supervise a job and get it done right plus rearranged a few things while there.
Need another trip soon to consolidate the long boxes there.

One of the things I do keep is the boxes for Selects toys. Nice small sturdy boxes, useful for keeping little things in. I've got one with my Titanmasters in, one with my Primemasters, one for my Battlemasters and one for my Micromasters. The tapes set has been turned inside out and is in the cupboard with the WFC figures. You can probably guess what's in it ;-)
My Core figures live in them too, one for Autobots, one for Decepticons.
I needed to add a third this weekend for the Dinobots. I reached onto the shelf under the bed and pulled the top box off the shelf. It was for Red Swoop. "That is most appropriate and will do nicely" I thought

I haven't opened Selects Swoop. But I do have a box full of Selects boxes.

Likewise Unopened I assume?

Post by Pinwig on Aug 28, 2023 9:34:56 GMT
No, most of those are open, for checking purposes, but quite a few of them have even had the toys removed!
Opening red Swoop would only have been necessary for a Dino display to replace the blue one, but I never got that far before the Dinobot Road started.

I did keep Selects boxes for a while as they are indeed sturdy and I thought they would be useful. But the amount of space I achieved by tossing them was considerable!

as long as the missus doesn't go in the attic and see the giant pile of boxes we should be alright.

We've had a storage accident tonight.
I bumped into the CD shelving tower on the landing holding my BBC DW & Comedy CDs and knocked it over. It fell colliding with the banister. The contents of the lower half were strewn all over the landing. The upper half went down the staircase.
Anyone want to come and help me put CDs back in the correct boxes?

That certainly sounds sub-optimal. Hope you're okay though. |

Reminds me of the time I spectacularly wedged my ambulance under a building. Big residential home type place had like a car port bit under part of it that you could drive into. No height warning signs. Crunch. |

That reminds me of the time I sang 'Kyle's Mom's a B****', not realising Kyle's Mom was standing right behind me.
Oh no, wait, that wasn't me, that was Eric Cartman in the South Park movie.

I would get Mrs M to put a copy in our local libraries. Under what category? That would be the challenge for her!

It could go alongside Young Nick's Magnum Opus "Tales of Glasgow Buses" and it's best selling sequel "Tales of UK Train Travel"

Anyway..... CDs still in crates. Need to work up the enthusiasm to sort them. It doesn't help that the larger box, which needs the most work, is at the bottom of the pile
