Does anyone else just have so much stuff?

I’m moving house and will be in a smaller place for about 6 months before upsizing again

Fuck ME I had no idea how much stuff I have. Even with getting rid of loads of clothes I still have so much summer / winter stuff that I’d want to keep. And extra bits of furniture - a whole bookcase id never put together that’s just sitting under the bed.

I’m taking a storage unit so that will help some but how and when do we accumulate so much crap?!

Yes, us. Though I may be imagining it, as DH can't see it apparently. Do you need any help getting rid of stuff? I know all the theories and methods Grin

My house is honestly very clean, tidy and doesn’t have mountains of stuff out - ie I don’t even have a toaster as I see that as clutter

I just can’t believe I have so much elsewhere. Where do you even start...?!

Yes and struggle to motivate myself to get rid!

When I moved from my 2 bed to this (larger) 1 bed the removal men who did the packing said I had enough stuff for a 3 bed house

I've started removing stuff I haven't used for a year from shelves and cupboards, I can't see any other way to be sensible about it.
I think if I haven't used it in the last 13 months or so it goes.

We're moving after 19 years in the same house. The amount of junk, recycling and charity donations...I reckon I've taken cubic metres of stuff out. Oh, and with 5 days to go before completion, the oven has conked out. So that's going, and we're buying a basic 2nd hand replacement.

I don’t think I have that much stuff it there is still stuff I could get rid of.
