I do a major purge every few months. I save pictures, and not much else.

Not the house, but the bike is about to get his spring cleaning. ?

Weeeell, I have to move in a few weeks, so I kind of have no choice.

Freaking too cold to do that yet here.

Autumn here

Sorry havent teh energy for that yet = I tossed everything from my relationship unless it was soemthign I really like , and felt I owned . I donate mostly .

I am cleaning like a mad man....some of these places haven't been delved into in decades...I am not very sentimental about items and I own less than 10 pictures that are hard copies...if it was up to me, I would almost gut the place....what I would do is find a little storage area....put things that you feel are painful to get rid of in that area....revisit that area in a few months and see if you have that 'I don't ever see this stuff, so who cares' or 'I don't use this stuff at all' feeling....that way you avoid the 'a man, I had that and need it now' feeling...for the most part....feelings...nothing more than....feelings...hehe

Keep the useful and the smiles and put the rest behind you.

What is cleaning

Trying lol

Always sorting stuff and moving stuff. Major OCD.

If you have kids, I think you should keep some of the special things and pictures to pass along to them. If not, it's a judgment call. If seeing them dredges up bad memories, maybe you should let them go.
