I've had enough of the state of the house. Every which way I turn there is something in the way. The cellar is full of clutter. The loft is full of clutter. The ground floor is full of clutter. The top floor is full of clutter. I expect you get the idea. I'm sick to death of it. When we moved in the house was perfect. Then one of dp's relations downsized and he accepted piles and piles of stuff from them. DS was born and well mean relations gave us piles and piles of clothes and other baby stuff not to add the usual cot and prams. DD got laods and loads of toys for her last two birthdays. She loves craft and never tides up after herself. I'm not naturally tidy but the state of the house is really upsetting me.

No one will let get rid of everything (except ds who is too little to protest but my MOTHER keeps telling me to keep things in case my sister has a baby)

Feel like sobbing. I can not even walk across the sitting room, the spare room is full of STUFF, the linen cupboard is overflowing.

I take big bags to the charity shop every few weeks but it makes no difference.

I give up I just feel like getting a huge skip I don't know what to do :(

Ooh, something else I did when I had my big chuck out, was take photos* of the piles out outgoing stuff (be it charity, trash, donations etc).

Then when I was feeling I'd not made a dent, I'd look at my pics and realise quite how much I had got rid of! And it would spur me on, a bit,

*I have since deleted the photos! It wasn't a new form of hoarding, honest!

Although I will admit to scanning/taking pics of cards for significant occasions, and filing the pics and recycling the cards. Every little helps, right?
