    I too need to join the de-cluttering as my computer room (smallest bedroom ) is almost full of stuff.I am going to be ruthless this year, as its either that or I need to buy a bigger house and I can't afford that.
    My problem at the moment seems to be paper related so my shedder is going to be in full production over the next few days I have got receipts and bills and guarantees for stuff I no longer own anymore:eek: why am I keeping such rubbish.
    I have given myself a stern talking to and will take myself in hand and try to reduce this paper mountain.:rotfl:fingers crossed

    Nothing else in yet, but OUT go several empty herb/spice jars I didn't realise were empty as I never use them. Even doing a few bits here and there make the difference :)
