Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I once lived next door to an outlaw-biker; and one day, he asked me to help him move. His method of moving stuff was to move something, then sit down, and drink a beer. Then, you moved something else, and sat down to drink a beer. Well, we didn't get a lot moved. But we sure got drunk! My only advice would be to put something away, drink a beer. Put something else away, and drink a beer, until you've got everything squared away!

Nice stained glass.
Now what's your mistaken thought about? . . . Another person's treasure.
Have you read "Organising from the Inside Out" by Julie Morgenstern? ISBN 0 7336 13500. If you haven't please do before you touch one skerrick of that treasure.

I moved out when my ex got a new GF. Moved into a beautiful modern house. Got evicted (landlord was a dick and wanted to sell a week before they made it illegal!) Had to move back (ex is remarried and has a house). I now have the contents of three houses in one.
@Amisja I have similar only I refer to it as 3 lives. Others grieve (like my managing agent) at my untidyness. I have lived with it and in it for 40 years. It does not grieve me, it is the ignorant rumblings of "you're cluttered" "you're a hoarder" that grieve me. Get fucked, it's my life, my possessions, my ability to sort and rectify the problems that you have created for me over the last 7 years.
Omg !! My sympathies. We are redoing our salon/living room, beginning at the back with a new stove for heating in the winter. So the fireplace has Ben pulled out and the furniture pulled back. As a result, you can now only climb into it .....and why do I have five armchairs for three people, and a sofa. And a horrible cabinet my husband got from a client and now regrets. And loads of magazines, and cat toys galore underneath. Time for an overhaul.

I'm not a hoarder!
@Amisja LOL That was the perfect response and the one I thought I would get.
@patchoullijulie I am the opposite. I have the 12 mth rule. If I haven't looked or used something in a year, it goes to recycling
@Amisja Never listen to people talking of hoarding, clutter, no use thing they are the same ilk as those who organised and carried out Krystal Nacht, the Killing Fields, etc.
@Amisja Mine is more along the 12 YEARS rule eek!
That's what a garage is for. To store other people's stuff.

All of this is because I moved house from a small modern rental to this big old house which I own.

@SeaGreenEyez yes
I can see and feel your dilemma. I have a problem with hording, my lounge room looks like a bomb hit it. When I want something I cannot find it because there is so much stuff. Finally I have realised that it is a problem and I am raining in my buying. Slowly I am getting rid of stuff by selling it. Every time something goes it feel lighter.

I really don't hoard.
@Jolanta your retirement fund or anticipated future hobby?
@FrayedBear well I was thinking of taking up playing the piano, so I bought an electric keyboard to learn on more than a year ago. It arrived and is still in the unopened box, but perhaps one day ............
@Jolanta lol, I'm still hanging onto the keyboard that I bought for my daughter 35 years ago. . . perhaps her daughter. . .
Don't organize get rid of it. yard sale etc minimalism way to go. your pocket will love u.

Who are you kidding. In this throw away era you have difficulty giving stuff away and the dickheads who usually reply through Fbuk, according to an acquaintance using it, are mainly retarded time waster who should have been aborted at two days gestation!
I bet my son would ‘help’ you. He was supposed to move my belongings into storage. Instead, he just gave a good half to a charity rather than move them.
I was really pissed at first(still am at his betrayal)...but, I’m doing fine without the stuff itself. It’s the detachment that’s so hard.

Oh my son MASSIVELY let us down. Couldn't handle the hassle so he moved in with his Dad!
Anyone free for the next 5 years to dig through it all? Oh this is only one room! There are bedrooms, a kitchen and another reception room all like this!
