I hate waste and mostly live in Rohan clothes which never wear out( I still have Rohan stuff I bought in 1977 !!!)

Anything I don't wear in a year goes on Ebay.

I think I have it about right for my needs !!
sound interesting ..Wooden lodge in forest....Tell us more

I am now trying to declutter the parts of the house that contain my junk. This is harder than it seems.

The next BIG task is to get rid of a lot of wood in the garage, some inherited when Dad died in 2000. I will need a skip....

So, my advice is be tough with yourself. Don't keep stuff without good reason. Ask yourself two questions:
"will I ever need it" and
"can I easily buy it".

If you are uncertain about needing it and can easily replace it, then dump it.


So that's do as I say not what I do eh Peter? smile

Our loft is rammed full. At one time I had an inventory but that's long out of date.

I can't throw wood away. Offcuts everywhere. Love it.

I never dare to throw a book away.
Is that hoarding too?

Sore point still trying to work out swmbo she will moan about me and my favorite clothes , then make me buy new stuff and tell me not to wear the good stuff in the garage . Claims she has nothing new to wear when she has spent hours using a JCB to get into her wardrobe to pack stuff in . But I would not swap her what other woman would get on her back under the mog and help me grease it.

I used to be like that, now I just sell off the odd one that I figure I will never read again. Occasionally they may go to a charity shop... smile
