Yes, I'm afraid so. My house has cupboards you could put a double bed in and I manage to clutter almost every inch with junk.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Books, shoes, clothes, paperwork (just in case), presents I don't like, want or need in case I offend by getting rid of them. My guilty hoard is bedding. I have spare duvets as well as a cupboard full of sheets.

I used to be but I'm now having a clearout and making frequent trips to local charity shops. Started when I lost weight and Id take my clothes in. Now I'm looking round and seeing other things that I don't look at / use / got fed up of and getting rid of those too.

It helps that I'm doing my house up room by room and having to shift things! I'm turning minimalistic

Ju is awful for this, it's a family trait her father is the same. I have a system for this though. I gradually move all the stuff be it clothes, books, old bags , broken toasters

and the like into boxes and promise to out them in the loft. Then in my day off I either charity shop them or dump them. If she ever asks for that toaster that broke in 1997 I'll be in trouble.

Yes I am but only clothes, shoes and accessories. Im not as bad with home furnishings or ornaments, though I do go through obsessions where I buy a lot of a certain item, like cups, plates, bedding etc, but its not a constant thing.

What is constant is my love of accessories and clothes. I buy things like hats, scarves, hair accessories, jewellery, tights, material, buttons, diamantes, lace, appliques, as I alter a lot of my clothing to embellish . I have a walk in wardrobe which has shelving and that is full of boxes containing these things and I also have 2 double wardrobes.

At least its all tidy and packed away, I couldn't stand having mess around

This is me exactly... Without the walk in wardrobe ( but stuff stashed in too many places)

I would love to get rid of some but I just think I will wear it and use it all... I like it all tidy though and put away.

What do you say to yourself that makes it easy to let go of your stuff... I would like to adjust my thoughts a little to let me give more to good homes or charity shops.

That I want a tidy house and organisation.

Also I think if I haven't used the item over the past year then I must not need it.

If its good enough to sell in eBay then I may sell a few things to treat myself to something new.

I used to be until I lost my entire home including contents. Now I don't horde anything. Pretty much everything gets thrown out or taken to charity if I no longer want or need something... Much less stressful having a decluttered home.

I have a man cupboard!! But it's full of "useful" stuff

I used to hoard anything and everything though I have got better. I now occasionally throw things away. I still have about 6 boxes of half balls of wool etc that I keep "just incase" I ever do all that knitting I promised myself I'd do. One day.......

No I cannot stand clutter and junk and have minimal personal belongings, not many ornaments or nik-naks of any kind.

I think my mother put me off years ago as every shelf or table or anything that stands still too long has something placed on it and all the kitchen cupboards are full of things that "will come in useful for something", we just don't know what

My rule on that is one bottle at a time. I'm not allowed to open a new one until the other is finished. It works, mostly.

Buying travel size toiletries is always tempting though.

I've moved 12 times in 11 years so have had to chuck a lot of things out each time. Have just stopped being sentimental as a result.

You'd be amazed how much clutter it all is really.
