We 'rate' ourselves by what we 'own' these days..sadly!
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!!!!

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

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!!!!!
