I have all electricity, telephone, credit card bills from the last 10-15 years. I finally scanned everything (even though I really did not need them) and threw them out. We have now started with things in the loft (like the thermos flask we got 10 years back, 2 geysers, .......) The books were overflowing all over the place and I took the decision to get rid of everything I had not read and was not planning to read in the next 6 months. It was real tough at the begining It gives you a very good feeling once you remove everything you dont need.
