I am a relentless hoarder. I stash all kinds of things away thinking, "That will come in handy one day". Of course, that one day never arrives and I have boxes of useless old tat all over the house. It drives C absolutely mad. He is the complete opposite. He would happily hire a skip and chuck out everything. I blame my Dad, of course. He is quite the squirrel himself.
I didn't really make any New Year's resolutions but I have promised that 2010 will be the year of the big declutter. With every room in the house needing streamlining, it is a daunting task but the truth is it's getting me down too. I've completely run out of places to put things! Every cupboard, every drawer is full to the brim. I refuse to just throw thing out though. I will try and recycle as much as I can via Freecycle and Charity Shops. Only the truly salvageless will be condemned to the bin.
I know I'll never achieve a fully minimalist lifestyle but it would be nice to open a cupboard and not have an avalanche of junk knock me to the ground.
