DH and I have lived in our house for about a year and a half. We have two DC under 3 and the house is pretty messy most of the time. I clean up but there is so much stuff lying around and most of it is DH's.
He has so many hobbies-he plays various musical instruments, is into computers, does loads of DIY, brews beers and wine - and every one of these thing involves loads of stuff! He's a pretty handy fella to have around but is just so messy messy with it all Angry
We have a converted loft which should be our spare room but its full of boxes. He also has a shed full of his things and bits and pieces lying all round the house because he has no room for them.
I have clear outs of my things and try to suggest things for him to get rid of but he genuinly struggles to throw anything away. Ha has a stack of tye dye throws for example, from his student days (he's 33 now) but he couldn't bear to get rid.
Some one help me please before I just hire a skip one day when he's out [evil grin emoticon]
