It was a case of going through them one at a time... Whilst doing so I did manage to throw some bits and pieces away! Eventually on the third box result:
It's funny that I've never needed them since 1987 and 1989 respectively! Just so glad I did't lose them as it costs a fortune to get replacements...
On the way to finding these I came across a real memory mine..
Holiday souvenirs such as these totally non-PC American "Indian" items from the Grand Canyon in 1979
Lots of school related memories including school reports, photos and my Beaconsfield High School scarf:
Several souvenir newspapers showing my love of history, monarchy and weather (I did a geography degree!):
And of course memories of my own children as babies:
And my daughter's first photo shoot aged 3 months:
Looking forward to having a second look through as I sort it more thoroughly at my house so that things are easier to find in future! Do you have a treasure of memories like this?
I wish I had kept my school certificates - did you read my post about being disqualified? Nothing like a trip down memory garage. My parents moved from the house into a flat during the years I was undergoing IVF and so I couldn't travel to stop them throwing out all sorts of stuff we should have kept. Oh well. I now have one cupboard of nostalgia rather than a garage.
ReplyDeleteuh oh :-( think I am lucky not to have lost mine!
ReplyDeleteWonderful treasures. I think I may have thrown away my certificates unless my Mum still has them somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you never need them!
ReplyDeleteOh I love going through old things for the memories! Could lose hours like that :) over from AutismMumma x
