Why Do We Hoard So Much Junk ?

[robynaus]

My theory is the "stuff" expands to fill the available space and if I get rid of it I'll just have to buy more!!!!

Books are 'mini experiences' and should be passed on and enjoyed by as many people as possible.

our Junk mostly belongs to offspring School stuff year books etc then a collection of books she needed in her college course which she was told to sell on to the next intake once she had finished with them to simple !!! to ever be done
ah yes also a collection of teddy bears dolls prams and a rocking horse old school photographs the list is endless I am always asking when she is going to look through them take away what she wants and put the rest to charity I will do next time Im home is the answer that was 8 years ago !!!

We moved from a 3 bed with formal dining, lounge and family room, to a 1 bed, 4 rooms in total.

7 years later I am still trying to be ruthless and get rid of the clutter.

I'm nearly there, and we hope to move this year to a bigger house!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh!!!!!

Books don't count you have to have them. full of interesting things or stories just share them around as you finish them Oh yes and keep the craft non fiction think i"ve got nearly as many as the library now.
