Default Do you live with a hoarder?

Sadly, i do!!

He drives me insane with his constant hoarding of useless things... one of his main favourites is cables..yes..useless cables..What for??!!!!....

then theres the clothes he has had for about 15yrs that i'll never let him put on even if they fit him! :scared:

I have CDs all over the house, papers,transcripts, and documents to do with his life 10yrs ago in Bermuda that have absolutely no relevance to his life now.

So....are YOU a hoarder or are you the "victim" of one?

Something funny happened. He took one of his favourite summer ties to Oz the other week. Anyway, on the way back he put it in a black sockso that it would not get damaged. He did not tell me though so it got washed inside the sock so now it is a kind of pasty grey orange and silk ties should not be washed in the machine.

That will teach him

I challenge you to that title!

In actual fact, I bought a plaque at a boot sale once that says "World's Greatest Hoarder". It's at the back of the garage somewhere. See! I knew it would come in handy one day!

Who's laughing now!

we are moving to Qatar. My husband is already there. I ordered a 4 cubic meter skip on Saturday and it filled with all my husbands rubbish, he is quite heart broken. But i have never been so organised for an international move. I say get rid of hubby for about a month before you move and everything will go smoothly!
