I single bed in our spare room.

I've just listed in on a website www.reuseitall.com that my brother in the UK told be about. It's for giving away unwanted things for free.

So far, I think I'm the only person to use it in the US, so don't know if I'll have any luck with it yet... but hopefully the site wll catch on, seems like a great idea!

Maybe you lot should try putting your stuff on there!

Me too! Our house is being taken over by computer parts! Okay, just DH's office is being taken over, but it is so cramped in there, only one person can go in at a time. :

a huge, heavy, ugly quilt. DH's mom (deceased) made bed quilts for each child to receive when they were married. the thing must weigh 15 lbs, one side is satin teal color, and she whip-stitched a white cotton sheet to the other side to keep it clean (the actually sheet was the only part she made from what i can see, but DH insisted she made the whole thing). it only fits a double bed, and doesn't fold well so it has to live on a closet floor, it won't sit on a shelf.

A giant pile of empty boxes - apparantly we must keep them because should we ever decide to sell the blender/heater/computer/$12 electric fan that came in them, they will fetch a higher price. Meanwhile, the clothes are in plastic bins because the closet is full of empty boxes, the upstairs room is a box depository and the verandah, all nice and sunny - a very cozy empty box home.

DH's army uniforms. He was in the Israeli army for 4 years + reserves until he was 45. His unit was disbanded, so no chance they'll call him back. DS was a soldier for Purim last year, but I don't think he'll be into it again. I don't mind the uniform per se, but the coat, the boots, etc. take up a lot of room. He insists it is sentimental, fine - but we have pictures! And it is in ds's closet, not in the attic or something.

Also, I'd like to get rid of my treadmill. I bought it used, and it doesn't work well (and I am unmotivated to use it) so now it is just holding my clothes next to my bed. I post it on a for sale list every so often, but I don't want to just give it away, because DH will say "told you so"!

A scratchy olive green quilt with badges and pins? No, I think not.

Besides, I think that would be destruction of army property. I think he should turn it back in to the army, actually.

But thanks, anyway!

I have several things, the two large figurine things that MIL gave DD1 a few years back, they just take up space, she can't play with them. I'm usually pretty great about moving things through that are useless but DH insists that we keep them.

All of DH's extra computer equipment. He is in IT, I make him keep most of his stuff at his office, but parts creep home eventually. Every so often I fill up a huge box and drop it off at his work. : All the stuff I still have here is stuff that he insists he needs at the house, I'm so tempted to box it up.

Sounds like my DH. I mean, we only have 1 computer. Ours are stored in plastic storage bins with lids. They take up a nice corner in my garage.

My Dh is the same way. So I made a deal with him. I bought the largest storage bin I could find with a lid. I told him that whatever boxes he could fit in there, we could keep...the rest I smashed, ripped and cut to make sure they were not repairable. So far it works.

Our TV. It's a huge broken widescreen monstrosity that DH claims he will someday get repaired. It's just collecting dust in the playroom. I'm not much of a TV watcher, anyway, and I'm happy to use the laptop for movies if/when we need to.

Also I'd love to declutter DH's things, including his DVD collection, but that's his job, not mine. I wouldn't be able to handle it if he decluttered my things so I understand, but I wish he was on as much of a decluttering kick as I am!
