Cluttered Mess...(NEED TIPS)

12by311

I LOOOOVE throwing stuff away. But my husband keeps threatening me to not touch his stuff. So I understand your pain. His night stand is ridiculous.

Everyone has already given great advice....and I am happy I checked this thread to see the flylady.com suggestion. I've never heard of it. I'm excited! haha

I understand your pain. I learned how to keep things to a minimum a long time ago....I moved every couple years and got tired of packing stuff up that I never used. When my guy and I moved in together we had a lot of duplicates of stuff so we had a garage sale. What was left after the sale went to the local thrift store. The one (well many) things I can't get my guy to do is get rid of is boxes. Empty boxes. I know...right???! He has got to keep the original boxes of things he has purchased....(car stereo, blue ray player, computer, etc) just in case he has to return it. I'm like...the warranty has expired, if it breaks now you can't return it! But the boxes stay in the closet. I finally got him to toss a couple boxex for things that he hasn't had for 5 years....stuff he sold at the garage sale!! His other main clutter item is clothes....he has more than I do! I have half a closet, he has 2 1/2 full closets (and 2 chest of drawers) of stuff....many he hasn't looked at much less worn in years! Will he ever fit into them again...no way! I can understand wanting to keep an old uniform from the Navy, but come on....the underwear and t-shirts too?? 2 seabags full of stuff? Clothes he wore in high school and college? The man is 42! :noway: :ohwell:

LOL I told my husband.. seeing as the closet is broken... go through your stuff NOW while it's a hot *kitten* mess. Lord be with our hoarding me...
