Britains Biggest Hoarders

[Le Pop]

Weird. I know somebody with this problem and it is just strange that they don't see themselves the way others see them. Very strange, and sad.

i suffer with this to a very mild degree . i hate throwing stuff out like broken power tools and old hifi . i have quite a large loft and it is all up there.

Same with one of my relatives. Thankfully I never saw the house in that state...

I cleared that house.

The problem isn't the stuff, although there's plenty of that: you have to walk across it to even enter a room. I dropped a cufflink at one point, and when I looked down I couldn't find it on the floor, despite searching through everything.

The problem is the habits and mental processes of the hoarder, which I thought the programme tackled extremely sensitively. Once you have tackled the mental process, the stuff is relatively easy to deal with. Very brave lady.

I have a large collection of old computers and electronic/radio bits.

My parents were a bit like that and I do worry that I am going that way (3 shed full and a loft) BUT I do look at the desk sometimes and have a purging session.

I suppose its the 'it might come in handy' mentality?
