Our bedroom is an old attic room and the loft space is quite small. That hasn't stopped us hoarding everything bar the kitchen sink. Such thinks as old TV's, Video players, computer bits and pieces, some old clothing, and memorabillia boxes containing bits and pieces of our kids first few years.
Loads of ancient Charlton programmes stashed in an even more ancient trunk.
I probably haven't looked at any of these programmes for more than 20 years.
They'll eventually keep me happy poring through them when I'm in an old peoples home listening to Led Zep,
The Pink Fairies and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
but there are boxes and boxes of charlton programmes there is every newspaper from the day after wembley,
then theres the sun goals pull out 1st season in the prem,
then theres every paper after we won the chumpionship,
Papers from when the queen mum died and diana, Papers from the day after 7-11 (think it is imprtant when NLJR is old enough to realise what the impact of these events was like for normal folks for days after and why he lives in the security concious world of today)
Suitcases, xmas decs, vinyl albums and old tapes, old video tapes (some a bit fruity), my rare Elvis collection in sealed air tight boxes, and other general junk, and a massive external TV aerial propped in the beams allowing me to view freeview in my bedroom, indoor aerial not strong enough and not allowed aerials on our roofs.
Do you remember the huge glass box framed Viglen shirt that used to be in Bartrams before the refurb a few years back? Well I bought it...it weighs a ton and is about 4 feet 6 by 3 feet 6!

Sorted out my loft 18 months ago - chucked out loads, gave bags to charity, Put the "good stuff" in the garage for a boot fair - it's still there and the loft is full of the kids toys now. Dread the day we decide to move.
couple of thousand CAFC programmes which I intended keeping until the OAP home beckoned but when I get there I probably won't be able to read anymore so what is the point. Loads of vinyl too. Other than that not a lot. Don't tend to hoard. My policy is that if you havn't used something in the last three years then chuck it.
I had loads of old, very valuable Vinyl records which I sold for a mere pittance to a rip off of a dealer who then flogged them at a huge profit which he spent on going travelling to Japan : - )
