Do any of you have rules ie if you haven't worn anything for 6 months do you discard. Also if something is a wee bit small (obviously shrunk in wash) do you keep in hope you fit into it again or are you ruhtless? Kaz :o)) about to have a major clear out and am by nature a hoarder!! |

Sorry Kaz, I'm probably worse than you. However, I'd say 6 months is a little ruthless as surely you would need different clothes for different seasons and you may find that you've thrown out all your summer clothes using those rules? |

Another rule I have heard is ............ Each time you buy something new - get rid of something! Alas not a rule I am capable of following lol I am a terrible hoarder and I have great trouble discarding anything - much to my groaning wardrobes (plural) dismay LOL |

Yes Anne my wardrobe is groaning too! It has to be done but think you're right Lesley 6 months too ruthless. I am going to be bold and get rid (lololol) !!!! (Last time I said that I never got rid of anything) But if I haven't got much left to wear I will have to go shopping oh yaaay! Kaz :o)))) Plus I tend to say - ah I wore that for so and so's wedding and oooh it might come back into fashion |

It must be something in the air Kaz. I started clearing out cupboards, drawers and the loft 2 weeks ago. Not just clothes though, everything:)) I wonder if this time I shall be able to persuade myself to part with a gorgeous, size 10, sundress, that I shall obviously never fit into again:)) Chrissie xx |

I am dreadful, never get rid of a thing and have clothes going back years, and years, and years lol Will try to follow your good examples and get rid of a few. Isn't it a shame we can't bring all our outgrown stuff to one big meet and swap things with one another. Could all go home with new things that fitted now! Liz |
