Mine is basically as it was, but also full of tat my parents dump in there :mad::D
I stubbed my toe going in there last month as the door rebounded off an abandoned exercise bike obstructing the entrance. :rolleyes:
Mine ended up with an unused exercise bike in it as well! I sometimes have a go on it when I visit home, but otherwise it just gathers dust. What is it with those things?
My stepsister and I moved out the same year. Her room was eventually turned into a sewing room by my stepmother. Mine was left empty. That was a huge house with six bedrooms, though, and our rooms were right at the top of the house so no one wanted to toil up two flights of stairs.
I have had five kids in a small tgree bedroomed house, so at one point there were three boys in one room and two in the other. Now one gas left, one is about to leave next Sept and the third may or mat not leave in Sept but will defo leave the year after. So for the first time, the two remaining boys can each have their own room. They are so used t sharing they want to stay in the same room and have the other as a playroom.
No such thing here as rooms being kept as they were. Too many of us in too small a space.
Mine had Dennis the Menace wallpaper, Dennis the Menace bed covers, Dennis the Menace lamp shades, Dennis the Menace drum kit & a Dennis the Menace rug!
Mine is essentially the same as I left it apart from the rubbish that my mum and brother dump in there while away at uni. I know as soon as I find a permanent job and place to live that my brother will take his opportunity and move into there.
My nan moved into my room, it's since been turned into a study. It does seem strange even now to walk in there, even though I moved out four years ago, as I expect to find my things still there. I do use it as a sanctuary, I will hide in there if we have family gatherings and I want some peace and quiet!
I left my childhood and childhood room behind a long time ago. Both of the houses I lived in as a child have long been sold on to others - I only had a room of my own from 13 years old onwards. Before this time I shared a room with my three brothers!
It is nice to look back but there is far too much misplaced sentimentality here.
My Mum was notorious for chucking everything out. If there was an opposite of "hoarder", it was she. I had only gone about a couple of weeks and came back to get the rest of my stuff, including letters written to good friends when they were at Uni and my school exam certificates...she had binned the lot. I was furious.
My dad did the same thing with my things too! It is the only time I ever fell out with him badly.
My mum completely redecorated it as a spare room, my younger sister wanted it because it was bigger than hers. Now it's my niece's & nephews room for when they stay over and one day it'll be my kids sleep over room.

My mum was always on at me to throw stuff out, and i know a mum who's the same with her kids, if they don't throw stuff out then when they're out or at school she'll go round and bin it all - and the kids often don't even realise until a lot later.
I think my mum was glad of the opportunity to get rid of a lot of my old stuff when I moved out. When my parents moved a few months later, my mum did say if there was anything I still wanted to come over, otherwise I guess it all went in the skip.
i can't say anything about my old room now as our old house is no more, it was bulldozed along with others a few years ago to make way for a new road scheme - I used to drive past quite often and it was quite strange to drive past one day to see just a big pile of rubble where our house had been pulled down. Now there is a road there.

'Your' room is no longer yours!
