Hi I'm in too, the wardrobes and hidden cupboards need to be emptied and masses of stuff thrown out! Keeping it just in case,in the house for 4 years now and still loads of boxes in the garage that have not been opened since I moved in to the last house !
Thanks for the honest thoughts Divorcing Jack , My sitting room and kitchen are a disgrace.
Hope that you all have a good week.
