Oh you and my wife would get on. She's OCD about her craft supplies. When she saw my box of bits she was torn between horror and a reflexive impulse to sort and categorise.
Who's the worst. "Hoarders" or those who chuck stuff away regardlessly?

That's not hoarding as you have them far too tidy and organised. To be a hoarder you have to have stuff all over the place and take about half a week to find it,when you eventually want it.

Unless it comes to shoes or handbags.I'm just glad i rescued my birth certificate and other such documents. I think they'd have been binned too if i'd have left them there! She also chucked out some bloody good Audi car mats,i now could've made use of.
From experience,i'd say men are the so called hoarders and it's the women who do the chucking out.

It looks like a Brooks saddle spanner in there.

i know... but then middle age crept up on me and I needed to get organised after wasting the first half of my life looking for a specific screw, bolt or washer.That's not hoarding as you have them far too tidy and organised.

a friend of mine sold a plastic carrier bag for £5, and a canister of cheese for £10... both 'collectables' from the USA

Hoarding or not is a state of mind. Do you really need all those football programmes Accy? You could turn them into money and have an uncluttered life, just like all the other things you don't need. You've probably got loads of stuff you didn't even know you had. My wife went on a minimalist kick recently and gave away suitcases full of clothes. She said she felt liberated.

I have an entire loft devoted to stuff that might be useful at some stage. It does mean that on the occasion you need the odd thing, especially computer leads, it is probably there somewhere, if you can find it.

I'm at loggerheads with Mrs Accy. She's even thrown my three motorcycle jackets away without my consent. Ok.i've never had a motorbike. I don't even like motorbikes,but i just liked having the jackets there on a hanger.

I'm now watching the bit where "Mr Trebus" is dismantling scaffolding(29 mins) I fear that i might end up like him.
