I think I can say my bed. Since I was born until now I still use the same bed. I think I will still going to use the same hard bed until I die. Its part of me. In fact I can't sleep in other bed. When I go outing or sleep in hotel or other places I have hard time sleeping. How about you. Do you have things that you still use until now?

I do not have anything I am still using since until now.
I did move few times and most of my old stuffs had already been thrown or sent for recycling.
This was due to the space constraint at my new place, I had to move only those I like or those which were still new to me.
When you told us about your bed, I were very surprise that you could keep it for so long.
I am sure, the longer you keep your bed, the higher value of the bed you have and it can become an antique bed later.

Right now that is my problem. If I'm going to move out right now. I will end up losing lots of things. I'm hoping I can find another way to earn money so that I can spend money renting a storage room. Its funny I can't pay my rent right now. But I'm thinking of renting a storage room for my things. lols.

I do have some stuff which have been using for many years, for example, my mobile phone. It was bought almost 4 years ago and has been out of fashion early. Also, I have two coats which were bought 5 years ago. I want to buy a new one this year, but the clothes are expensive in our country. I don't think I can afford it this month.

I'm still wearing my home cloths that I bought 15 years ago. lols. Its look out of fashion but what can I do. I don't like to buy new cloths even if I have money. Because every time I buy new cloths I sometimes feel that its not my cloths and I'm not familiar with my new dress. lols. I know its my cloths but I need to wear it like ten times before I feel comfortable with that dress.

Yeah, I too have been using my bed quite since a long time may be around 15-16 years. But nothing like that I will sleep only in bed etc. I can sleep in any other bed,if I feel sleepy :D.The other thing I don't want to miss is my mobile sim card. I have been uising that sim for almost 9 years and don't want to miss that one.

9 year? wow. My sim is only 5 years old. That not old enough. But I'm worried right now because of changing mobile and transferring from one mobile to another make my sim already used up and sometimes it does not work anymore. Especially if I take it out again. I'm hoping that I can keep my number for many years but I doubt it because of its condition right now.

In my standard I consider them new. lols. My staff in my house are 15 to 30 years old. I'm a type of person who don't like chance. If you see my room 20 years ago. And visit my room today. Its seem you just been in my room yesterday. lols.But I do buy new stuff. But new stuff always go in the new room also.

20 years and its still working? We have a laundry shop and it does not last two years and we nee to replace it again. I think those old machine are much sturdy than machines today. Even old cars do last longer than the cars today. Just wait for another 30 years and your washing machine is considered antique.

How about things that is given to you by your parents? I'm sure they given you something that you keep. Or maybe I'm just a sentimental type of person. Anyway. Yeah its good that you have something new all of the time. Me I'm like a garbage collector. Its hard for me to throw things away.
