I’m motivated now to sort out my cutlery drawer now. I have a few things in there that hopefully I can get rid of.
My mum and dad collected a posh set of cutlery. It’s quite nice actually and it’s always been kept in the boxes it came in and kept for best.
Now my dad is on his own and he says I can have it. If I take it then it will all come out of the boxes and go in the cutlery drawer for everyday use. Then I could give ours to OS for his new house.
I can’t help but feel guilty about doing this though. This cutlery has been saved up for, bought one box at a time and kept in these boxes. Hubs says I should at least keep the boxes but I said why and where.
I was talking about this with my cousin and we said that that was what that generation did. They saved up and bought stuff that was just for “best”. My dad has 3 big cabinets full of crystal glasses of every kind, red and white wine glasses, Sherry glasses, and all the rest. He also has a full old fashioned dinner service and 4 tea sets. It gives me nightmares as to what I’m going to do with all this stuff. The crockery all has that gold rim which means it can’t go in the microwave or the dishwasher and I already have a full dinner service and two tea sets that were my grans.
Should I take the cutlery and use it?
