No Place For Some More But . . .

Last Sunday , when I arrived home from roaming around the mall after going to 11:00 a.m. mass , hubby and her auntie from the US , have opened two boxes again . These are big boxes from the newly built storeroom where all her boxes sent , since more than 10 years ago are now kept and were from the bedroom built for her , since she is occupying it now . Again , I have more new walking shorts and more shirts and blouses after she had chosen some for herself . Some of which i gave to my sisters last Saturday , when i went to visit my parents at our hometown. Some beautiful dresses , I refused, since they are small and don’t use dresses so instead reserved them for my daughter in addition to some shirts previously reserved for her . Hubby got also a lot of new walking shorts and pants , in addition to the previous ones . Mother-in-law also had hers . Father in-law though is so big, only one or two fitted him . . Good thing , the other brother of hubby came later in the afternoon together with her wife and child . The wife also had some shirts and pants which fitted her perfectly . Brother -in-law though had just one walking short that fitted him . There would be a lot more coming since she will still be opening some, these coming days. So , in my mind , I am now thinking where I could put them . Though I will not refuse some more . Would you , if you were in my stead?

If it is given to me, why should I refuse? I would really thank them instead.

I guess no one would refuse . The problem where to put them will just be dealt with when it comes .

@magallon Actually , i have already give a lot to my sisters months before she arrive. They don't fit me anymore because i added some poundage . Now i have lots of replacements and i am so happy because we don't have uniforms anymore at the office .

@SIMPLYD Give to others the old ones so that you can have space for the new ones.

For those that didn't fit me , i had it fit by mother-in-law and those that didn't fit her to my sister-in-law who came later and they fitted her .

Yes . Though the kid of my brother-in-law got nothing because those that fits my hubby were actually for deceased hubby , which she sent here because they both have the intention to retire in the Philippines .

It is always exciting to open these boxes. I am told that it is bad to refuse, as the person giving might be offended if you refuse. But then again, if you really have a lot already and feel that it would be absurd to get all. Then just be gentle in refusing. But then again, there is nothing too much when it comes to new clothes, especially if they are free. Hehe.

I have to refuse those not fitted for my body and those designs that were too sexy . She's more daring when it comes to clothes . Yes, that is true , nothing is too much specially that we have no uniforms anymore at the office . It comes so much on timing indeed that;'s why i am so happy .

That is great that everyone got some new clothes. I don't have a lot of room so I would have to pass on more clothes after awhile.

@SIMPLYD That is good that your husband was able to wear a lot of them. Bell bottoms might be coming back in style like they were years ago so they should sell pretty fast.

@velvet53 Yes, he has lots of pants and shirts to wear . Though , he resigned and now drives for this auntie , because she bought a car . She would give him money every now and then . Yes, they might be back in style . But i don't like the bell bottom style .

Though the males though are big except for my husband who has a slim built so he was able to get a lot of new pants and shorts. Though , some are of the bell bottom style that's why they aren't wanted and put back in the box for selling .

I have seen this morning the new trend for skirts and they are identical to those we used about 25/30 years ago. I have to climb in the attic and get them back from the trunk. I will not refuse new dresses or blouses, I love them.

Good for you , you like dresses . I like them but have no occasions to wear them . Dresses though , i rarely use . Besides , the dresses were party dress and too sexy . She knows that i don't wear dresses only on rare occasions , so she didn't insist but offered them to me . But blouses i love them too because i can use them at the office with my jeans .

It would perhaps be ungracious to refuse them if she wants to give them to you, but is there no end to how much she still has?

Actually , i graciously would say it didn't fit me and we just give it to my sister -in-law who sure would fit on them . I also just got some a bit smaller than me to give them to my sisters , with her permission of course .

@SIMPLYD That nice decision. I think the children wearings are like that. They grow faster that their dresses became unfit. And it is common that if they have brothers or sisters they transfer it to the next one.

I'm sure your aunt is pleased that so many are benefitting from clothes she no long wants or needs. She wouldn't have offered them if she didn't want to so you need to feel bad at all.

Yes, i know . That's why when she gives me a lot to fit , i just fit those i want and ask her if i can give the others to my sister , to which she said yes . She likes seeing me in her given blouses , whenever i report to the office since she gave them to me . I feel so grateful for her generosity .
