Stacks of Stuff!!

**happylabs** · 10-05-2009, 01:45 PM

I ordered a dumpster in the Spring and decluttered almost all of my house...almost. My computer room/cat room is where I put everything that I did not throw out and believe me, I threw a lot out! I keep saying I am going to get to that room and clean it but the cats don't seem to mind the clutter around their food bowls.

Have you ever seen the show "Hoarders" on TLC? All I have to do is watch 30 minutes of that and I am cleaning up! My grammie was a bit of a hoarder. She, of course, went through the depression.

Yes, I sure have. I've watched several episodes and I can't even imagine living like that. It's very sad but I guess there are many many people out there that have this problem.

Isabel and organization.. can´t be in the same sentence..lol.. ok just for reference as i just did.. but that´s it..LMAO

I have tons and tons of stuff...think of the most useless piece of cr@p.. and i have it.. haha.. I have stuff lying around since like 10 years ago.. i go through them toss a couple and keep the rest for a few years more...

most of them useless keepsakes.. even from stuff i don´t recall or really don´t care to remember.. haha.. receipts.. I´ve got them all.. i even have gum from 1980.. haha.. (not really but easily could)..

I´ve got clothes from since i was in high school.. just because i think I like them still (wouldn´t fit even if i tried).. got coins, magazines, calendars, keychains, plush toys, craft stuff.. you name it..

I did however have been getting rid of stuff.. but not as much as one would like..I even have packed stuff because it´s too overwhelming to look at it at the time even if i know beforehand it´s mainly trash

Yes I have watched that show too.. It just blows my mind on how some of those people live.. Unreal just unreal.. Yup I am a clutter bunny to a certain point.. Then its like things must be cleaned up & go to the trash.. I did a major clean up about 5 yrs ago & every Monday Morning when the Trash Truck came I had like at least 20 = lg 30 gallons bags a waiting for them.. Heck the Trash guys even hated to come by my house.. I was cleaning alot of my Ex-Husband's stuff out too..

Gini, any time I've ventured down there, everything is so clean you eat off the floor. You must have hidden the "stacks" perhaps in the front room closet???

I don't "do" stacks - instead my bills to be paid go on a little clip magnet on my fridge and other stuff gets put on my dining room table. Once a week I make sure the clutter on the table is cleaned up - especially right before my housecleaner arrives.

By the way, how are your "stacks" of peeps doing???

Thanks for the nice compliments - however, I have a heavy chair that sits in the corner of my bedroom. It doesn't get moved much because it is heavy. Well, I looked behind that chair and there are two bags behind it.
How long have they been there - I don't have a clue. What is in them?
I still don't have a clue.

I just couldn't deal with it today - so they are still there.

Eat off my floors - now you have got to be kidding or you really really need new glasses

Peeps? I have discovered that if you keep them TOO LONG, they simply disintegrate.
