Q: Is your house full of plastic bags and general clutter?
Or receipts? Or general pieces of paper? I seem to have collected a lot of clutter while in China. It's all the bags and leaflets and so on. I'll make sure to do a big tidy up soon, though does this happen to you?
nah, I throw that kind of stuff from the balcony or into the dustbin
No. I hate clutter and even things that are worth money, if I don't use them for a long time then I chuck them, same with women.
Yeah I seam to be a collector
I will hang on to that receipt for a while just incase
then get the shits with the pile of crap and throw the whole lot away
(after carefully going through the pile of course , just incase I need it)
No, not really as I throw away the trash almost every single day or when it gets too full. The receipts are useful I can get a refund on them so you know how that works. I'm lucky to have a pretty decent size room to put all those plastic bags in one corner...(
!!
No. I burn everything. I burnt my bridges, my birth certificate, my wife, my thumb. I don't know how to deal with it all. My thumb hurts.
It's those goddamn fruit + veggie red, thin, shi**y bags which pile up in my house. I think to reuse them the next time I'm down there but I don't feel comfortable playing the bin man role flapping my superman non bio-degradable red bag cape. Also, after a few days of being in my fridge or out and about in my humid room with a bit of a grime at the bottom they're more or less unusable. I just chuck em'. Damn you China, you've sucked out the last of any environmentalist blood I had left. .
Menus and meinu's too. They're just clutter.
I have to secretly chuck out shoe boxes, plastic bags, styro-foam,packing materials and all sorts of other crap before my mother - law sees it and finds a place to store it.
The idea of storage is completely lost on her. She believes storage refers to items I have listed above as opposed to seasonal clothing or rarely used appliances. Her closets are full of cardboard, books, plastic and paper bags, boxes and my wife's middle school clothes.

I have the same thing here, but it's my girlfriend who is unable to part with useless stuff. Luckily, her mom is in town for a few days and she's on my side! I have really enjoyed throwing out old shoe boxes and five year old broken sneakers over the past few days!
Yesterday we started the De-clutter Program
There are guys down stairs waiting like seagulls for a chip to come their way
My Farther in-law has a tear in his eye like he is saying goodbye to an old friend
So that's what colour the shelf is
