I actually do read your blog by clicking on your comments on John (the chickens) and Tom (from Bath) sites. I'm a lapsed 'Purple Coo' member too - I have a thought you may have belonged to 'Purple Coo' too - so small world. Your Farmer sounds just like my O/H - they could make a television programme on what he's got in his shed. My big disease is collecting margarine tubs and cartons - always with gardening in mind and then I have to have an almighty purge and throw them in the recycle bin as I'll never ever use them all.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-74482999721115704732013-06-20T12:50:03.438-07:002013-06-20T12:50:03.438-07:00My Grandmother called me that too!

There are even people in the US who will come to your house and help you 'de-clutter'.<br />A rather fun job, I think.<br />I'm pretty fierce at 'editing' stuff - however, yesterday I found 4 super concrete planters being thrown away on the street and have hauled 2 home and have to get the other two today. They will go on the roof for the herb garden.<br />Love getting stuff/love getting rid of it!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-78218395226738958702013-06-19T21:38:48.469-07:002013-06-19T21:38:48.469-07:00My husband is a hoarder too, he has so much in his...My husband is a hoarder too, he has so much in his workshop that our younger son says when we are gone, he will put up a sale saying 'Garage Sale, just come ant take it, no need to pay!' I am fairly ruthless with everything apart from books, I hate giving any of them away. They were our prized possessions as children - always a new book for Christmas and birthdays. Like you, we didn't have much bought stuff for presents, but we didn't miss that at all, I don't ever remember feeling deprived.

He has his stuff in the cellar that I don't moan about and he is like your hubby he can lay his hands on anything down there, but so can I up here !!!!

Get rid of it, and you will need it much sooner!!! And this has come to pass several times (usually when I am the guilty party and had a clear out of HIS rubbish).<br /><br />Books are definitely the hardest thing to part with - I had SO few when I was 9 or under, but then relatives found out how much I adored books and after that Christmas was a magic time.<br /><br />I have fabric and wool stashes too . . . but sometimes I go through them and have a sort out.

I have moved twice in the last few years and I got rid of lots of stuff that I didn't need. The bigger the house the more rooms to fill and clean !<br /><br />I don't have much stuff in my home, what I have I love but I don't have any place for extras. Except books !<br />The items I have a hard time parting with is much of my children's art (?) books and toys. They are ruthless but me, not so much. <br /><br />cheers, parsnip<br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-3172795268094509872013-06-19T07:18:44.817-07:002013-06-19T07:18:44.817-07:00My husband is the same and has even been known to ...My husband is the same and has even been known to return from the tip with some item too good to have been thrown away! I hang on to clothes in case I can't find any new ones to fit me but do get a ruthless urge to de-clutter every so often, then the charity shops benefit and I have a tidier house for a while. Books are always hardest to part with and as soon as I have created some space I fill it again.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
