Why Do We Collect So Much Carp
39 Answers
Spent the entire afternoon clearing out.
Originally only intended to clear out a few bits and pieces from my draws and ended up going through my entire flat. Got on a roll I guess!
Just found half a dozen unwanted mobile phones and chargers in my draws alone that I had totally forgot about, not to mention various techno bits n pieces.
Ended up chucking half filled paint cans, clothes, various bottles of cleaning products, unwanted linen, out of date food, etc etc.
Some have gone into a charity bag, most has gone into my (communal) skip.
Ive always had a 'thing' about waste and recycle where I can, but sometimes, there really is no need to save everything 'just in case'! You just end up with a house full of cr ap!...and end up having a bloody good clearout.
Don't know what it is, but I feel so much lighter for getting rid of a LOAD of stuff....

I need a clearout!
There is an amazing book called Material World: A Global Family Portrait.
photographers took portraits of 30 statistically average families across different parts of the world with all of their worldly possessions displayed outside their homes.
It was eye opening.... and shows material things don’t bring happiness

Mr Cal is a minimalist neat freak- except he isn't- the place looks like that but only because every cupboard in the place plus an entire room is heaving with the weirdest junk you ever laid your eyes on, plus he has a storage container with even more carp. I collect my own weirdnesses as well but I'm quite chill with my clutter :) I do have about fifty grands worth of 10p carrier bags under my sink in the UK though which could do with going :/
