Default Stuff you find when moving house

I will be moving house in a few weeks, so have been sorting out everything big time ready for the removal men.
Some of the more unusual finds or rediscoveries:

A marathon bar
Status Quo's autographs
Approx £20 in big 10p and big 50p (think I can take that to the bank)
A 70's top shelf mag called Fiesta
A credit card swipe receipt, on that kinda greaseproof paper
an 8 track tape of pink floyd - animals
A digital watch (a proper 70's one, battery flat)

Is your present abode actually a time capsule?

It just shows how much the junk follows you around.
There are even more oddities,

A telephone with a dial
A car phone (thats a mobile weighing about 5kg!)
A 286 mono laptop..

Most of it has gone down the tip where it rightfully belongs!
