Made a start a few weeks ago on my old mums house...her Alzheimer’s is slowly getting worse, and before the inevitable decided to crack on with it.
Her garage, which has a large mezzanine floor I built in it some 15 years ago, is now almost clear. I’ve found it quite therapeutic getting rid of stuff on Freecycle etc...
Most surprising thing I found was a wooden framed box which originally contained Player’s Airman cigarettes 24” x 15” x 15”. My mum had used it for linen some 50 years ago...it has the delivery address of the P.O. in Bradford where I was born...dated August 1953. Before my arrival. I was going to bin it, but may be of some use to a group who participate in these 50’s weekends.
Decluttered my own loft a few years ago...only remaining things are 3 pairs of old skis, a pair of snow shoes, several rucsacs of differing size and 4 ex charity shop empty suitcases which will come in handy on my next move.
