I knew before we moved house that we had too much stuff. Now that it all has to be allocated a new home, I've absolutely had it confirmed!
Charity shops are partly to blame for my over-consumption, particularly on baby and child things. Take videos for example. We must be one of the last households that still uses a video! Not for taping, just for viewing. Charity shops tend to price kids' videos between 20p and 50p so I have ended up buying quite a few........! My daughter from a very early age would decide which she wanted to watch, then delight in operating the video buttons herself. A good lesson in independence, cause and effect etc!
We pruned our collection (do we really need twelve Kipper the Dog videos?!) and sent them back to a charity shop for some other equally old-fashioned family to enjoy.
These past few weeks I have visited the charity shops only to drop stuff off, with no browsing allowed so that I don't come home with more. I am doing well but the car boot season starts soon..................!
Is there anything that you have bought too much of because of the cheap-as-chips price?
