This blog is dedicated to all those people residing with junk collectors so extreme to the point you cannot live comfortably in your own home let alone safely navigate around. It is clutter and it is killing the quality of our home life. Yes, this blog is for venting our sheer frustration yet also to provide hope and practical solutions to coping with it and helping tackle their "Collective Hoarding".Feel free to share your hoarding stories

Apple IPAD-I LIKE
Ok you may have noticed this new invention splattered over the news, in case you have'nt- summary its a laptop without a lid, its touch screen with the keypad on the screen AND lightweight AND space saving. I can't wait till it hits the UK and at £300 not bad. So maybe the ereader ain't all that when you've got one of these. The mini ASUS laptops look cute but you end up getting a shoulder cramp by trying to type on a baby keypad.

does anybody buy books?
Right so last week i told you how i was putting stuff on ebay. well none of my good quality and fairly recent degree books sold :-(. But i did manage to sell a music CD-didn't do for a profit but hey the main point is one persons junk is another persons treasure. Second point heavy books are not easy to sell on ebay.
lesson learnt.
AND another major thing i noticed- neither me or my dad have purchased any books this year!
Woohoo.
A pair of unopened B&Q blinds have unkindly been placed near my bedroom door leaning of the BBQ DELUXE (3 boxes unopened)... i think they were taken out of the loft..well im gonna put them back where they came from or sell them. My dad doesn't like giving things away.

ALLERGIES
Looking through an allergy leaflet the other day and dustmites peak between December and January.Think about it we spend more time indoors. The radiators are on creating a nice warm environment for the buggers to fester in.SO they're advice is when dusting use a damp cloth-with a dry cloth all the dust just gets dispersed in the air.
sell on ebay free listing today in the UK
Already fulfilling my new years resolution, i am listing MY BOOKS on ebay.Only today it is free to list that should be straight forward. Now im sure you all know how it works,have a paypal account, upload a aphotoa dn describe.BUT since October certain categories make the seller give fee postage and packaging-so you just add this to your "start bid" price. I would encourage you to do the same.
Other places you can sell are amazon.co.uk and gumtree. (be wary about putting your details up on the latter)

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION-HOARDING SPECIFIC
Here are my new years resolution to declutterin my home:
- BE more organised with storing MY belongings- it sets an example
- REFUSE TO BUY BOOKS-borrow from library!
- continue to persuade to dad to get rid of useless books-who needs a book on idioms from 1956 or "A dummies guide to Windows 95"-nobody wants them! apart from a computer book antique collector? (if one exists)
- Continue to state how the book collection is causing extra dust mites- which is bad for my health. :(
- what junk does not belong to mine should not be in my room-however small or large.
- sell/donate any of my junk and encourage others
- write every month ANY ACTION taken and RESULTS achieved
- Write on this blog!
