Hoarding junk

nicki_2

All this decluttering must be something to do with the time of year - last night I sat a put just about every cut-out recipe I had in the recycling box Ebay items are listed, more will be done once this lot is out the way (2 items selling so far...) but the most important thing is I am finally trying to sell DD's cot, highchair, buggy, carrier and pram (with all the accessories!) which she hasn't used since she was about 2 years old - she's now 4 and starts school tomorrow! :eek:

Just been looking at my work desk and I also hoard rubber bands and pens! There are loads!

It's official - I am a squirrel

Behind that little cute face lurks huge sharp gnashers though, I recall one of them biting me when I was little, vicious little b*****s they can be when they want to be.

We've found out we've got to move and we're going from a 3 bedroomed 'student' house to a 2 bedroomed flat in a hurry - trouble is fiance is a classic hoarder - inlaws2b house explains the reason why! We've both been bringing stuff up from our parents houses whilst we've been at Uni and now we've got a bit too much stuff - trouble is motivating ourselves to reduce the clutter.

I've taken a whole car boot full of paper to the recycling bins and they'll be about 4 sacks of utter rubbish going out tonight - plenty more recycling to take to the tip this week and then we're trying to work out if we've got enough stuff to do a car boot next sunday too.

It's certainly a great way to have a good clear out - find out you need to move house and have to do it in a few weeks

My worst havbit is the Xmas drawer. I used to use just one of the 4 divan drawers under my bed, now it's all 4.

I keep buying stuff in the sales, bargains from Boots + all the other stuff that crops up on the Grabbit threads, for POresents and to save myself time at Xmas and B/days.

Only problem is I now have enough stuff for the next 3 years!!!!

Well I try to keep a system for my junk( not sure it works tho) If I havent used it in 2 years then get rid of it! My fave has to be bubblewrap and for anyone who wants some-get it free in tesco on the fruit display! When I get my fruit I always manage to "find a couple of pieces" they only bin it so I wrap my fruit in it. Jiffy bags used to be my weakness-I just couldnt part with them. Long life carriers also, but I used those up now on ebay, as parcel bags-not bad for 10p each.Oddments of wool and sewing stuff also-until I had a sort out and donated it to the school. I used to go to a local scrapstore with the PTA-oh dear-half of it I ended up buying for myself!
