FabSwingers.com forum: Are you a hoarder?

I'm absolutely a self confessed one. I keep all kinds of crap I think 'well that may come in useful!'. Sadly it rarely does. And I'm making myself have a clear out... Do you keep 'useful crap', just in case?

I realised a couple of weeks ago I may have been a hoarder had all sorts of silly things in the garage it was full .. and loft so I hired a skip and literally emptied the lot filled it and turned the garage into a kick boxing space.. felt so good .. part of you will double check everything but ignore that voice and bin it !! Do it

Manchester(ish).

I've moved fairly regularly in the last few years. When you're packing it makes you think about what you need.

I'm ok with recycling or re-homing things.

Nope I don't hoard. I can't stand having loads of clutter about the place.

No I’m a minimalist. I hate how much unnecessary shit the mrs and kids have. I have what I need and that’s it’s.

Definite hoarding tendencies here. I have been better over the last few years , but they are still there

No, I like to have a good clear out once in a while, and it does apply to more than just a stuff. It serves well my overthinking mind and my weary soul.

Neither of us are hoarders in the 'going to be found dead under a pile of carrier bags filled with two inch lengths of string' sense. We do have certain things we have a lot of 'just in case'

I travel light but hoard, DIY leftovers mostly, at home. After 30 years I forced myself to clear stuff and my hoard filled an 8 yard skip..

My new attic was empty, but after 5 years.....

Clothes, yes. I keep so many that I never wear. But I'm pretty good at keeping on top of other stuff.

I wouldn't say I'm a hoarder but I have always bought a wash, wear and a spare and have ended up with more spares than wears.

I go from one extreme to the other, I keep everything and then have a massive clear out once or twice a year.

Not at all. You wouldn't think so though when you see the amount of stuff in this house.

Used to be a few years back. Now have a simple rule, if I haven't used it for 6 months it goes in the bin
