I try and get my boys to help but they just fight with me about it.. Oh but why do I have to help yada yada yada :/

I am lucky that Dh helps but we are both just as bad as each other and just look at it as too big of a job. I am hoping to try and get my mum here to help me empty my cupboards. We have almost no storage space and we really need to declutter before we rebuild. I looked into hiring a skip and am just going to toss everything that is no longer needed (clothes will go to local charity place) but toys ect that are longer needed or used will go in the skip.. the dump here has a dump shop and they go through everything anyways before it goes in the actual tip so i am fine with doing this.. It is the throwing away of things that gets to me..

I have a silly attachment to things.. I have a cupboard full of books that I can't even get into because the kids lost the key (about a yr ago :blush: )

I have this massive pile of washing to fold (seriously about 5 basket loads) and I just can't find the motivation to do it.. Where would I put it all?
