De cluttering - rule of six

I have been reading these posts with interest and have admired some of the ideas, especially the one from Cornergran with the jewellery in a frame- what a brilliant idea. I too need to de-clutter especially my two wardrobes. I have things i know i am never going to wear again but find it hard to get rid of them. I have thought about cutting suitable items into squares and making a 'memory cushion cover' so that even if i dont have the article i will have the memory of it on a cushion.

I started de-cluttering when I retired 3 years ago but though I've got rid of loads of stuff, there's still loads more and it's never-ending. I admit to buying more new stuff than I need, but my 2 hoarder sons living at home are my biggest problem. I really don't want a thousand or more old vinyl albums in my house and they can't go in the loft or cellar as the men say the cold/heat/damp will spoil them. Some went in the bin when they weren't looking but I can't do that any more. I made a start on photos but they were taken out of the bin. It seems to be more common that men are hoarders rather than women.
