nicki_2

Not posted for a while but tried to keep track. This is roughly what I've gotten rid of since my last post:

1133-1180 - Packs of 5 book from work
1181 - Odd wine glass (about 14 years old lol) which smashed
1182 - Broken brolly belonging to DD
1183 - Portable TV (Donated)
1184 - Old TV (Donated)
1185-1187 - 3 art canvases (Donated)
1189 - Picture Frame I found in the alleyway about 11 years ago and used until 2 years ago (Donated)
1190 - Sledge which DD no longer wanted (Donate)
1191 - Small paint tray which was wrecked
1192 - Ripped curtain
1193 - Hessian bag for life which stank
1194-1195 - Other material bags for life which had gone mouldy and stank

1198 - Tube of grout which has gone off
1199 - Corroded disc battery pack
1200 - Bits from the washing machine to move it. Trust me I won't need them as it's more likely to break before I move house
1201 - Double sided tape
1202 - Empty bottle of oil (no idea where the oil has gone :eek:)
1203-1207 - Used paint brushes which were beyond saving.
1208 - OU general paperwork (shred)

1211 - Warm front related paperwork (Shred)
1212 - Housing paperwork from 8+ years ago (Shred)
1213-1218 - Cover sheets from credit card statements going back 5 or 6 years (Shred)
1219 - 1223 - Cover sheets from another credit card statements going back 5 or 6 years (Shred)
1224 - 1230 Approx 7 years (at least) worth of bank statements (Scanned then shredded)
1231 - 1233 - 3 empty boxes that were found under the stairs.
1234 - another wine glass which got smashed.

I have a tonne more scanning and shredding to do and I've still go to get rid of the charity pile in the corner of my bedroom....

Hello, can I join please? I know it's a bit late to the party. I have a hubby who is a huge hoarder and comes from a family of hoarders. We are hoping to travel in a few years so it would save money from putting things into storage.

Any tips would be welcome.

Hello! I really think listing on here helps me - I feel more accountable for it!. As a family we really got into this early in the year, then stopped logging. I've got a few bits of paper where we've scribbled down what has left the house so need to log those and get back into this - I really want to get to 2016 by the end of the year!

Good luck!
