DH said the box labeled tampons & pads would NEVER be opened by him! It is a winner in our book.

Buy a home with a quilting room so it just begs for fabric!!!

this is great. I started my day with this post and now I am ending it here. I have laughed and snickered all day. Every ones post is great. I really like this AND I have learned many things today.

great idea!!!! :thumbup:

Come and stay with me, I work at a truck stop cooking so when I come home I don't want to cook, and since home is a motel I have plenty of room..lol. It on Historic Route 66 in New Mexico. DH won't mind since he doesn't cook any way, just have a lot of furbabies to contend with though. Cats and Chihuahua's.

Actually the person who mentioned usig it for packing materials was on target. We have moved 13 times in 22 years of marriage. Some with the milatary most on our own. One of those we were short on time, money and any family to beg help from. My husband contacted a men's shelter and hired two men for the day. One of the men carefully began wrapping our dishes in towels etc. He explained he also had been military and his former wife had bought very expensive china which he packed over and over again. He then proceeded to show me to line the bottom of a dish crate box with some towels or thick fabric. Fold the cloth back and forth between dishes then stand them on their egde padded so they don't shift. Just think of all the money you will save on packing materials- pitch it to your husband that way- he'll be thrilled to realize how thrifty you are being. If that doesn't work you can always smuggle it in folded in towels, tshirts etc.

Paulette...I see u r in Ottawa and since I also see u r in hiding u can't tell me where in Ottawa. I used to work at Costco in Napean and also the one in Kanata.....I lived in Carleton Place. my son and DIL live there :)

If you cook and clean come to Australia.I could collect you when we come to Italy in October.

Oh heck! If you're cooking and cleaning..you can have my room with the big bathroom all to yourself!! AND you can have all the extra space under the LA for your pretty fabrics ;)

You can have a home with any one of us. We all understand not being able to give up the stash. The nerve of your husband to even suggest it. See how well he does if he has to fend for himself while you and your stash are off visiting all of us. lol.

Now you have me ROFL! You "painted" a very vivid picture of your monitor!!

ROFL. Hear, hear. If he won't move your fabric. I have room also.
I to am in the USA. Utah to be exact. Your always welcome.
But he can't be serious. O what am I saying. Maybe he is. Umm. . Well who is he going to have do is washing and cleaning?? Has he really thought this out??
Men? They are so funny. Hugs. and God bless. It will all work out.

Move with hubby and use all the stash to wrap dishes, glasses, what-nots in. That way when you unpack, it was useful and you will still have it. Maybe???

HAHAHA gotta remember this one LMFAO You are welcome in NJ too! summers are nice personnally hate the winters so if you want to escape to the offer in FL I will totally understand. I LOVE lasagna

We can solve any problem!!! lol

Hi Happy Trails

What do you mean I am in hiding?

I live in Orleans, east end of Ottawa.

Paulette

It says underneath your avatar that you're in hiding :) I lived in Embrun and worked at the Home Depot in Orleans

Well, just bring your DH with you and he can hang out with mine while we can sew, sew, and maybe sew some more if we cannot find any thing else to do.

You are welcome to come to the lake in East TN. I'll scoot over and you can have half of my craft room. If we're lucky, my DH won't even notice the additional fabric and machines!

heck ya-if you can clean and cook-come on over

Wow. Who can resist lasanga? Pack your stash and leave your clothes. Wrap glassware and small nic nacs in fat quarters, etc. Best wishes. (I think I just forfeited the lasanga.) Ooops.
