Edit - Music has changed, we have Fleetwood Mac now!

At least that's an improvement

Well it was....Boney M now.

Don't mind that one so much, every time it plays it brings back so many memories of walking down my nan's road in Walthamstow to the shop...she was the one playing it so loud the whole street could hear it! Amazing lady and that song just brings her back to life.

I'm guessing your neighbours are a male couple from the music (nothing at all wrong with that obviously).

In Zombie Robot Apocalypse News:

It Begins

With every passing day, it feels like the robot uprising is getting a little closer. Robots are being beaten down by their human overlords, even as we teach them to get stronger. Now, they’re starting to break free.

A robot in Russia escaped from a research lab in the town of Perm yesterday, June 15......

How many papers? Could you put them into vacuum pack bags and sit them on an inflated air bed "in case"?

Although I'm sure just putting them somewhere else would work too
Like on a high shelf.

Farquing millions. Mrs Generali is a reformed hoarder but we are still going through the junk in order to get to keep the important stuff.

The problem with hoarders is that everything is important so a passport and a TV Guide from 1997 are both put into the same box for later filing and sorting. Trouble is there's too much stuff ever to be able to file so it never gets done.

I found a very effective way of decluttering - I moved house. Got rid of loads of stuff I'd kept "in case it comes in handy" but never did.

Our house would be so much nicer if we didn't hoard and procrastinate:(

Then again I am now starting to believe conspiracy theories so perhaps hoarding is the least of my worries.

It depends on the conspiracy I guess.

If you think your family is picking through the Opal Fruits to leave you with the yellow ones it's probably harmless. If they're about recently deceased politicians then I'd be slightly more concerned.

I'd consider a short break in a place where gin is plentiful and cheap.

We moved house, cut everything back to nothing, started again,.....and now we have a house full of stuff again. How did that happen?

Fact of life - stuff multiplies to fill the available space

Could be a problem for me - having disposed of loads of stuff, I moved to a property nearly twice the size of the old one, plus outbuildings, sheds, etc. so gawd knows how much more stuff I'll have in another 20-odd years :rotfl:
