I’m trying to massively declutter so we can move house.

I would love Stacey Solomon to hire a warehouse for us and do things that way but at the moment it’s just me!

I’ve realised that the big problem for everyone in the family is clothes. There are clothes EVERYWHERE

I’ve lost track of reality and I’m trying to gauge what is on the lower side of reasonable for us each to aim for.

If you put all the clothes you own (excluding coats and jackets) into bin bags how many do you think you would fill?

I’m sure it would, but I’m at the ‘pick everything up and sort into clear bin bags by owner’ as a first stage!

Rather than measuring in bin bags, would it not be better to measure by hanging rail length, or even items?

Eg does anyone need more than 8 pairs of trousers, 8 dresses, 20 tops, 10 pairs of shoes?

Loads, but I regularly take stuff to the charity shop

5? Is that a lot?

For just me or the whole family?

for just me probably 4

the whole family probably 10x that. Kids have way too much
