It is satisfying isn't it. I'm doing my third trip to the tip this evening in 3 weeks, this evening. The second charity shop pile is growing too.

It is hard work, but I found it well worth the effort to clear a load of stuff to the tip and the charity shop.

We also helped our daughter do the same, when she moved into her flat. I managed to "inherit" the bass guitar and amp which she had never persevered with....

A few weeks ago I realised an elderly friend was in need of a little help to clear out from his workshop some of his acquisitions from the last 50+ years. He was having difficulty making decisions due to a health condition, but I managed to get him to agree to dispose of each individual item to recycling/charity/landfill/family and friends, whilst disciplining myself to take absolutely nothing!
It only took a week

I thought this was a toilet thread.

We cleared out my late MIL's house, filling a large skip with stuff. A white van arrived and three Romanians tumbled out smelling strongly of booze; they rifled eveything made of metal and I found a bottle of cheap white wine, which I gave them. "Pah! Wine!" they scoffed. "We want vodka!"

30 minutes later a pickup truck arrived and a couple of Irish guys jumped out - too late. You'd almost think the Romanians had been tipped off by somebody at the skip company. I foresee a turf war.

Mrs 26 said I could have my den in there but I can't Well not until............ Mrs 26 had the other room for her stuff so she's sorted.
