I definitely think decluttering is a necessity. I have storage for stuff, but it's full of junk I don't use and probably don't want. Husband will certainly be an unwilling participant in the activity, since he is currently clinging on for dear life to two broken coffee machines. The intention is to apparently fashion some sort of frankencoffeemaker from them. One day. Sigh.

You are not alone - Oh keeps some ridiculous stuff! I have found the answer is to declutter it while he's not looking.....;);)

When he asks do I know where x is I say 'no' with a clear conscience - as I genuinely do not know where it is! (I do know that it's not here anymore - but that's another story!)

Mostly - he hasn't noticed what has vanished...

Cats...nothing an air rifle wouldn't sort out...*ducks flying missiles* seriously, go on pets and pet care and ask foreign correspondent s/he's a legend.

Opened storage bench to get paperwork out to sort, and was assailed by arachnids of every variety. Promptly closed lid and will beg DH to sanitise it first.

You mean you aren't meant to sit one either side of the flap andstuff said cat through back and forth several times?

Try gauntlets..

We got growled at too.. and bitten.. but the hysterical laughter kind of helped with the pain..

And while I can feel for the recipient of several blows to the head with a frying pan.. I can't help but wish I could watch and wish it was Le Creuset!.. ..
