[QUOTE="WuTwo, post: 2044480, member: 87354"] Oh we were like that! I think we had 18 sets of bookshelves, full of books both of us admitted we'd never read again even though we enjoyed them. We kept all the reference books, and fiction books that were gifts or where we just love the book itself. Then we got kindles and withdraw some savings, and each of us spent half of the money on books - didn't matter if they were ones we'd had in print form or not. Then we donated the paper books and the shelves. (Have to lose the shelves or they just fill up again). Clothes - emptied every drawer and cupboard. I put back what still fits. If it doesn't fit I put it in the box to go. I ended up with loads of wardrobe space for new clothes ...... The house rule now is - if we buy it and we don't actually need it (one of just likes it) then something has to go ...... amazing how that makes both of us stop and think :) [/QUOTE]
