Why do we hoard….time to do a de-clutter………..I find it hard to throw things out, do you….most of these bags came from just inside this chest…there were clothes that went back 20 years…why…I have not worn them, never ever will….so why did I hang onto them…
now it’s ‘D’ day!!!!!!!!….
De-clutter day…de-hoarding day….dump it day….ditch it day…..
So, do you have a problem as well!!!!!
Happy ‘D’ day…
Peg
happy decluttering day peg,you are doing well,thats quite a few bags full there,i always think you feel so good after a declutter.xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good question Peg. It's terrible how quickly clutter accumulates. I am having a BIG de clutter when we move back into our bedroom this week. No rubbish going back in the cupboard or under the bed!
ReplyDeleteI am a terrible hoarder. Good luck with your decluttering.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a hoarder...well not too much of a hoarder anyway. It does feel good to have a declutter every so often though.
ReplyDeleteOh Peg I'm so glad someone else has the same problem as I do... I go to de-clutter and then I think maybe this might fit soon or I'll keep it a bit longer in case I need it, I have a full chest of drawers chockers of clothes that if "I haven't worn it in 12 mths its going to the op shop" maybe today and not in 6 months it should go.... thanks so much for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteps I don't consider myself a hoarder and I actually hate clutter!!
Stuff just seems to accumulate doesn't it? But I reckon most of it hides, so we can't see it. I was shocked recently at how many pairs of shoes I own, I only thought it was maybe ten, way way wrong, lol. Best of luck with sending your excess stuff on its way to somewhere else :)
ReplyDeleteOh Yes I soooo have a bad habit of hoarding stuff that's why these holidays I've been de-cluttering and chucking stuff away or moving them on to someone else who will use them LOL, I think we're all hoarders to some degree :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteOhh good girl, doesn't help when everyone cries BUT I need that lol....Im opening to declutter when I spring clean...I'm a little bit behind, might have to be a summer clean lol
ReplyDeleteYah.... I may have a wee bit of a hoarding issue.
ReplyDeleteBut not totally out of control .... YET!
well done.........I have a problem too..........but have been trying to be rash this year and cut back........it's hard work but so worth it.......keep going...........
ReplyDeleteIn a word YES!! I am trying to do the same at the moment...the 'I'll wear it one day' clothes have to go. Good for you Peg.
ReplyDeleteOh yes a huge clutter-bug Peg but I'm working on it!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good feeling to de-clutter! Plenty of space for more things!
ReplyDeleteWell done, starting is the hardest part, I know, I keep trying to but always something more fun & less emotional to do instead. I think I would have to declare National Declutter Month at my house. Oh well maybe over the Christmas break hahahahahahaha! xxx
ReplyDeleteIf only I had your problem Peg. I am the opposit. The worst chucker outerer. I often regret it and it has been a subject of an odd argument. But, in saying that I can see how I could change my way now I am on the patchwork road, haha. Good luck! Sharyn:)
ReplyDeleteEverything eventually comes back in Peg - they are probably really trendy or retro...I rarely throw away things because "I might need it" one day, only one day never comes...
ReplyDeletePlenty of vintage goods here. Haha
ReplyDeleteTiny steps taken, with some repurposing happening too. There may be empty shelves or boxes one day?
Well done on clearing one space.
I'm a bit of a collector, so very easy to get overwhelmed with lots of bits and I'm not great at throwing things out, so good on you Peg
ReplyDeleteI'm the a Opposite moving around a lot helps with the Clean Outs...Lifeline Love Me!
ReplyDeleteYou'll feel better for it....your Local Vinnies will love you too Vintage is in! LOL
xx
Guilty! I too have clotes > 20 years old.....hanging head in shame here.
ReplyDeleteGood on you Peg, I think most of us are guilty of keeping clothes etc. Well done! Hugs......
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how quickly thin gs get collected..
ReplyDeleteHugz
Yep I hoard too .. Good on you for having a "D" day.
ReplyDeleteYes, but not with everyday things. My hording problem is strictly related to quilting, knitting, spinning, reading and all my "someday I may want to do this" stash. The punchneedle kits that have been sitting for 10 years or more waiting for me to try it. The needlepoint projects that are half finished and more than 20 years old. You get the idea!
ReplyDeletethere are days I think I could give Hoarders (the tv show) a run for their money Peg!!! LOL Must be spring cleaning time....I'm doing the same! Just got rid of 25years of teaching stuff.....took a week! Still more to go in the shed! aaargh! xox sugary hugs :o)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of decluttering! That is something I need to do as well. I try and declutter once in the fall and once in the spring.
