Looks like we are all off to a great start. My BF is a hoarder too so it makes life difficult when I'm trying to get rid of my stuff. He thinks such and such could be used for
insert anything that may stop me from chucking, donating or recycling. It's so frustrating as it is goes on one of his projects that he never does. I regularly have to remind him to scoop up his excess stuff he leaves at mine and take it home.

Decided to number things I throw out:
12. Old toilet brush and holderFlymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
We decluttered the "stuff" drawer in the kitchen last night so all the contents were either put back in their proper place, binned or assigned to the CS pile.
Also went through the Christmas box before it made a return to the loft and cleared out loads of things that we did not use or are no longer taken by. All ready to be rehomed (a bit late I know)
