Out with the out....in with the new

[Penny-lope]

Well hopefully over the next few weeks, I might have a new house. And I have therefore decided it's time for a proper clear out.

First on the list is all my uni notes, course works and books. Not looked at any of them for over 7 years, and they are taking up valuable space and gathering dust.

But it started to make me wonder....Why did I keep all of them for this long anyway? I have also come across school reports from 1989....WTF?

So what have you kept for years and years, and just couldn't bring yourself to throw away?

Memories, books, and old vinyl mostly. But am now having to make shelf-space courtesy of my local charity shop.

My 1998 Sun calendar with Linda Lusardi on it? Still takes pride of place in my garage

You should always throw out your old outs

Everything.

I am, by nature, something of a hoarder. Having lived in houses with lofts, garages and various cupboards, I now find myself in a two bedroom flat, still with all the accumulated crap that a 41 year old man has gathered in his lifetime. My back bedroom (laughingly referred to as "the guest room" because there's a sofa-bed buried in there somewhere) is basically a big cupboard with a window and curtains. It contains all my tools, clothes, "important" paperwork, books, photos, wires/cables/connections, toys, cassette tapes, CDs, posters, memorabilia, old speakers and an infinite amount of general crap.

I aspire to be this man:

No, I'm not... Old age is a terrible thing It's 1988...

The OH refuses every year or so to let me throw out her first year of secondary school books from 1978, some still covered in flock wallpaper

Ah, a classic...

Had the pleasure of sitting opposite Linda Lusardi on a train last year, when she was still in Emmerdale Farm (and still very foxy). I have never been the sort to get all star struck, so I just nodded, and she nodded back acknowledgement and thanks that I wasn't going to wave a pen and scrap of the 'Metro' under her nose.








I was too busy thinking 'I know what your minge looks like'. I wonder if she realises the damage she did to the eyesight of an entire generation.

But I think it may have just changed a little since back then....curtains come to mind

I never use the curtains, I use toilet roll.

Who me?....Why thanks

Since I've had nothing better to do this week than grumble and sleep, I've done a little selective clearing out.

3 black bin liners of...well crap I suppose... and a lovely sparkling clean and tidy living room results.

Stop hoarding people! Keep a scrap book of the important stuff rather than whole magazines/pages and pages of paper, have a memory box and make sure everything fits in it and doesn't over flow (I use my old school tuck box) and remember that all that stuff gathers dust.
