Spring Clean

We are in the midst of an spring clean ... you would be forgiven, dear reader, for stifling a yawn at this point but stay with me. This is always an interesting exercise for me. For I am a hoarder, Hubby is a chucker.

I treasure bizarre and mundane objects for sentimental reasons obscure to anyone but myself. Hubby is an "I haven't used it for six months so I'm not likely to use within the next six months" kind of person.

So, as you can probably guess, about 75% of the stuff in our flat is mine - books, cross stitch supplies, books, pictures and ornaments, books ... you get the idea.

I come from a family that appears to be predisposed to hoarding so I wonder if this is a genetic trait?
