kasijab 0 Posted May 24, 2010 sets of sheets and bedding does one household need ..... I mean seriously, I just tidied my airing cupboard and have so many sheets and quilt covers you wouldn't believe. Luckily a charity bag came through the door today, so that has now been filled ready to go out.I even had the bedding Lisa used to have as a teenager, and she is 35 Are you a bit of a hoarder like me?? Or do you have the bare necessities and no more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myladyyawo 0 Posted May 24, 2010 I'm definitely a pack rat, I'm having a hard time getting rid of my children's baby (0-10 month) clothing. I miss when they were so small. I also need to start donating some items! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smorkle 0 Posted May 25, 2010 i used to keep EVERYTHING! i mean EVERYTHING...but then when i was 18 my parents moved out of state and i was left on my own......my own to drag around all my rubbish all by myself! needless to say, that didn't last long. i got tired of storing and moving everything so eventually i got all my childhood things into 2 large boxes and that's it. now it's easier for me to move around.BUT, hubby over here...he's a different story! if only you could see my place! i can't have people over because he has so much stuff. and it's mostly electronic computer stuff. i could go on for pages about this. it's A LOT of stuff!

Although he helps a lot of people fix there computers, sometimes getting payment for it so it's good in a way. I can't wait to get a bigger place to reclaim my living room! Thankfully at the time being he's pretty organized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have at least 50 Kosmos sets around here, and he is always trolling Ebay looking for this stuff. Between his collections and mine (teddy bears), we need a bigger place. Oh and the towels are really funny. We have this thing called Treue Punkte here (which are little stickers for a card and when the card is full, then we cash them in for reduced price stuff). I have tons of towels from this action, and now my mother in law has towels, and a couple of her friends have towels. Well, three towels for 6,99 is a steal.

Bee1 0 Posted May 26, 2010 I have recently moved after splitting up with my BF and had to be very ruthless with my stuff. I was never really a hoarder but moving out of 2 bed flat to a double room is quite a difference. Luckily there is a charity shop nearby so they were quite happy Bedding - I currently have one set only and two towels so I need to do some shopping soon.

It will help with the odor problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
