... My parents rented a storage unit 10 years ago and are still paying $65 a month on it, and I'd bet my life they don't even remember what is in there. Good luck!! BF I rent a mini-warehouse space and I can see this happening to me over time - having it for 10 years and forgetting what's even in it. 'Out of sight, out of mind', as the old saying goes. This thread inspired me to take a closer look at my mini warehouse space this weekend, and I started cleaning it out some. Hopefully in another couple of months, I will have retrieved everything useful from it, and I can quit renting it. That $62 a month adds up!

Most of the big stuff is gone. Beds, couches, etc. Still so much to do! It is doable, however. Hubby has had an epiphany!!! His eyes have been opened to what all he has and how much is not needed or at this point even needed. He mentioned taking a match to the place and walking away! Hahahahahaaaaaa. Now off to do more purging. The women's shelter here has really gotten some good stuff this week: women's and kids clothing; like new purses I probably used once; sheets and pillowcases; and toys. More clothing to come today, and some shoes I have still in the box, never even worn! Good grief I buried them a while back under more stuff and forgot all about them. Hubby's clothing will go to either goodwill or the men's shelter.

Amazingly there is still room in that storage shed! My hubby should play championship tetris. Maybe all this stuff will fit. Oldest has purged his room to bare minimum. I love that kid. My closet is 1/2 of what it was. Purged clothing in my chest of drawers. Hubby allowed me to purge his, too. Working on his 2nd closet. Yes I said 2nd closet... Have to work today and have a very important and special meeting this evening. This day is not going to be very productive in the cleaning/purging area. But I know I the meeting is more important than anything else and that is where my focus will be. Tomorrow will be a loooong day of moving the last of this stuff out. May have a temporary house to live in for 2 weeks. Whoohoo! Hope it works out. Made the last of the copies of important papers for the management company application. The house we want has just been listed as being read on April 1st!!! Please send out some good vibes and uplifting bubbles for me.
