"I keep all sorts of random cr… rubbish in case it comes in handy."
Oh yes, I surely do! I am getting better (I think) at not only asking myself 'do I really need it?' before I buy things and 'do I really need it?' before I chuck it out. I have moved house twice in the last 18 months and I have NO IDEA where all this STUFF comes from. (I blame the kids mostly LOL)
There is something very refreshing about de-cluttering so well done! :)
I can imagine that having kids in the house makes the accumulation of stuff sky-rocket, and the decluttering of said stuff a whole lot more difficult!!
