We're having a big clear out at our house. So far I've done four trips to the tip, one boot load of old clothes to the clothes bank, and a load of bits to charity, and some stuff given away to family. And yet, my house is even more messy than before we started. How does this happen I wonder.
I've noticed the same thing applies to sheds and garages. I think there's some kind of universal law which dictates that any amount of items in a enclosed area will always expand to occupy all the space available.
Another two big bags loaded to go to the tip, and bizarrely, even more clutter. I might just move to another house.
