I have OCD. I hate stuff that doesn't have a "place" in our home. Unfortunately, we simply don't have enough storage or room for everything to be hidden away. One of the main reasons I wanted a kindle was to get rid of my books. Books are dust magnets.
At the moment, our spare room has a few bags of clothes to be donated, and a few other bags of stuff that needs to be disposed of after Christmas. It's also where we store our DVDs, ironing board, washing basket and various other items that take up more space than I'd like. Every time I walk in there I instantly feel grumpy & that I need to clear and clean other rooms, to make myself feel better! And it's not even half full!
Re handbags, coats, hats & shoes. I don't wear hats. I have a few handbags, but only use 4 of them (black, grey, tan & black&white). I will be getting rid of the others.
I have 4 coats; black leather jacket, brown fur (faux, of course), 2 x long black. One of the black ones is new, and I'll be donating the old one.
Shoes: brown boots, black boots, converse, few pairs of pumps & flipflops. A few pairs of heels. But I have a lovely shoe cabinet which keeps them all hidden away!
