Put all your keep stuff in green garbage bags or boxes, and store in your basement or garage. Deal with that stuff when you have more time. Of course, there's always the chance you may forget about the bags. In that case, just give them directly to charity in 6 months (although I'd find that near impossible to do--I'd have to look through each bag/box).<BR/><BR/>Best of luck.

I am SICK OF IT and have been slowly trying to organise. <BR/><BR/>Like you, we donate, sell, give away, throw away and it just keeps breeding! In my cleaning this past week, I found photos from just seven years ago and in the background of 100's of photos there was...NOTHING! It was BEAUTIFUL!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Less furniture, less toys, less clutter. So I guess at some point in the past seven years, something has happened. I am still trying to fix it!
