Coming from a family that didn't have much and not having much myself to start could be the root cause.
Or is it being acquisitive, a 'bargain hunter' or other ?
36 years of running my own business, working 6 and 7 day weeks with almost no holidays and putting off tidying and sorting plays a big part.
Having space to store all sorts makes it too easy to accumulate.
Recently decided to become a net giver to Freecycle and so far have moved on a 30 odd year old freezer, kept for spare and not used in 8 years, a bathroom cabinet we were never going to use and a load of boxes I was keeping to organise storage.
Found a few items of rubbish and binned them.
All good so far.
Looking around today I find so much stuff, most of it of little or no real value.
So much of it.
Trying to be philosophical and working a few items at a time. This could take years !
Perhaps it gets easier with a load gone.
The garage certainly looks better.
Anyone want a load of bedroom furniture carcases, odd bits of wood and MDF ?
The boss is far from innocent too.
Think I have to change my outlook on life and become more drastic.
What has anyone else done with loads of stuff ?
