I've got, I dunno, 60 or 70kg probably. But it's more the sentiment, in my head it's already in the bin, I've just not taken the bin out yet. So it's no longer "that mech that I might want a bit off some day".

I've got to be careful, as my workshop is 12 metres long, and double height - so even with loads of stuff in it, it doesn't feel at all overflowing.

And then there's the garage, which hasn't a car in it and as is as big as the workshop...

Think I need that book to add to the other books I have... Oh wait more clutter.

Ok going through stuff today as I bought mtb shoes and boxes are everywhere.

I can walk through the garage but can't service my car or bikes as there is a fridge and washing maxhine.

Ordered a new bike too...

Today I aim to fill up my recycling bin and have a tidy bedroom 😀

I'm searching the utility room (excuse for a dumping ground) at the moment for a network hub that I bought 2 years ago as we now need it.

Whilst there I thought it would be good to have a clean out. So far have used 3 big rubble sacks and still have half of it to clear.

All sorts of crap. Boxes for items long since sold / thrown out. Old laptop & PC components. Music CDs everywhere.

Magazines went early in the summer but one thing I can't let go is near on 1000 cds sat in the living room taking valuable extra chair space.

Loft has 4 suitcases full of clothes I'll never wear, and the garage is a minefield of used rubbish mainly car audio and bike related.

I'll need to attack the garage/shed. Camping gear handed down from my dad I'll never use. Not big stuff, bits and pieces.

A scabby Spesh Hardrock hanging in a corner with Ice Spiker tyres fitted. Just to save me changing tyres on my other MTB if we get snow.

Half a dozen part worn touring tyres despite the fact I've 4 or 5 new ones on the shelf for when the ones on the bikes need replacing.

Not hoarding - 3 brand new rapid rise rear deraillers. It isn't hoarding when you stock up on something you'll keep using but which isn't made any more.

6 man Vango family tent bought for a holiday before plans had to change. Put up once in the garden. Need to gumtree/ebay that come spring.

And so on.....

Sounds bad. But Mrs IRC is 10X worse.
