Wow mathsparks,I keep most of my kids' stuff, from their 1st pair of mittens, baby clothes, party clothes to their 1st set of school uniforms, to their artwork, compositions, test papers, spectacles...even some school books. I still keep the A series of Peter n Jane, some Enid Blytons, roald dahl, their board books etc. My girl's first hairband, hairclips. Their cards/letters...even hongpow packets.
1st winter clothes, boarding passes, ticket stubs..any items that bring back memories of their trips, theatre performances,..even hospitalisation..the wrist tag.
Most of my storage spaces are used up and dh suggested, if we move to a smaller place, we'll have to box them up and send to storage. :oops:
If I had the space, I would've kept their 1st crib, sarong, kiddy swing/car and loads more.
I hoard some of my clothes..from suits to casual ones...even my maternity clothes. I've no idea why I'm keeping them; its not as if I'm ever gonna return to working full time or have another baby.
But, as all hoarders can tell ya, we hoard coz we cling on to memories.
Where do you find the space??
I have been keeping all my DS's playgroup artwork for the past 6 mths, but I know eventually I have to let go all and keep only one, and he is barely three!!!
I cleared alot of my clothes b4 end of last year, It amounted to 4 big plastic bags (the black rubbish type). Dropped it off at the Salvation Army.

we've lots of build in cabinets so thats why i could hoard so much. And like you autumnbronze, i still keep my son's umbilical cord. My kids hair and nails from their first cut.. And their teeth which was taken away by the tooth fairy and given to their cousins. Plus their letters to santa and santa's replies too!
Phew! That is a lot indeed!
And if you run out of space, consider renting storage!

My motto is simple \"If theres clutter.... THROW em all out... I say!!\" :evil:
Its amazing how you ladies can find the space to keep all this stuff!! :celebrate: -
My motto is : If you buy new things, throw the old ones.
Another is : If you don’t use something for more than 1 year, throw it away.
I don’t have much space at home.
I feel great throwing old things away, it lightens my burden. -

Just because some auntie at the market called your \"uncle\" doesnt make you old right!
I've seen you in person and I dont think you're that old.
