Yep. All brand new.
They are for when she goes out apparently.
How does she afford them? Can she still fit into most of them? If not, maybe she could sell them?
I must have a similar amount but many of mine go back to the 1990s when I worked in fashion and had contacts with upmarket Dress Agencies.
They are all from Asda and charity shops.
It’s all like blouses. Every other clothes item, she has a normal amount of.
They are no good to her crushed in cases! I love separates, never had enough hanging space, then one day found a piece of copper pipe, threaded some rope about 8 feet long through it, and tied each end of the rope to the rail above. A second hanging rail for nothing. Blouses on top, skirts below in the days when I wore skirts. I bought some very cheap thin flocked coat hangars from eBay. Far more garments on the rails! I then sorted things out according to sleeve length. Sleeveless for holidays, neatly folded in packing cubes. Short sleeve on the rail in one section, then long sleeve. All the same colour together. I’m sure if mum did this she would find easier than rummaging through all those cases, then the cases themselves could go! Perhaps a temporary hanging rail? I am NOT suggesting another immediate job for you, it’s time you had a mum free weekend to chill out, eat and sleep.
Yeah it’s something we will look at.
We had a visit today from someone, and honestly I wish mum would just shut up. She doesn’t have to tell everyone everything.
Sometimes we have to do things these days which are considered abit naughty, but let’s be honest “what people don’t know can’t hurt them.” If it’s not happening now- shut up.
I’m not talking anything serious, a cheeky £20 backhander- who cares.
But she just wants to tell people how she was the victim of domestic abuse- rightly so these people become scared
I think people hear certain things and it sends people into panic stations. I have to really reinforce the idea that the person is not around anymore. He was around for two weeks early last year and nothing since,
Yes mum was the victim, but people seem to have the “no smoke without fire attitude.” People don’t really care about domestic abuse victims. They pity them until it becomes someone’s job to help them.
I keep telling her just say your partner died and move on. If it’s sympathy she wants she will get more that way.
