House clearance has begun !

United Kingdom
February 8, 2026 2:28pm CST
Some may remember that one of our neighbours sadly died recently. When I returned home this afternoon there was a van on her drive and all the lights were on, upstairs and downstairs. Looks to me like the house clearance has started. I think her funeral is on Tuesday. I guess it means that there will be new neighbours soon.

@Traceyjayne I have never grassed in my life except once And that was to get rid of a junkie from a block of flats I lived in. It worked.

I hope that you get good neighbors. It is sad to see things being moved out. How long did you know her?

We have lived here nearly 6 years. She didn’t really go out much, I saw her a few times on the bus ….a rare outing for her. Usually she would be in the doorway or on her step when I saw her.

@Traceyjayne The man who lives across the alley from me hasn't been there for awhile. His kids hasn't been around much either to do yard work and such, But they put a new roof on the house. So I don't know where he is or nothing. He was a very sweet man.

@velvet53 very strange. How old was he ? Maybe he has gone into a home …..or no longer with us ! Sounds like they might be getting the house ready to sell.

I hope a happy, healthy person or family moves in. They don’t have to be young, I just hope they are healthy!

It could be a very difficult time having to go through all your parent's stuff. I'm getting rid of as much as possible to save my kids too much work.
