Primrose, my O.H sounds exactly like yours, everything is kept because it might come in handy. He has only recently stopped cutting the plugs off of everything we were throwing out as i managed to convince him that everything comes with a fitted plug nowadays.
I find it really hard to get motivated as it is such a big job, I have 3 decent sized cupboards in my hallway, all full of junk, 2 cupboards in the bedrooms, kids one is full of their toys but master bedroom again, full of junk. Shed has no space for gardening equipment as that is full too.
I am at my wits end. Have started pulling one thing at a time out to try and either freecycle or e-bay it but theres just so much

Pigpen you're a whirlwind! I'm gonna put mine on at about 8pm.
Can't wait to get this stuff out of the way, I have the whole selling shelf's worth and a bit more, plus another five boxes - 66 items in total. It will really make a difference in my office (assuming most of it does actually sell).0 -
i've got another thing being collected tomorrow, slow and steady may one day win the race!0

Walked a bag of son's clothes to the textile bank this morning. Recycling is now all done and the shed (where I save my recycling) is nice and clear!
Chest of drawers all cleaned up, put on Freecycle once more with a photo this time but still no takers! It will be on the drive with a sign this weekend if weather is dry. I bet some of you are wondering why it hasn't gone to the tip already :rotfl: but having got this far with no "tip runs" at all, it'd be such a shame to spoil that.
Listings upload went smoothly yesterday, 66 items on now and £26 in bids, early days for half of it though. Good luck Pigpen & Nicki and anyone else with stuff on.0
