jaceygreen_knight has been asking about the naming of a community for de-clutterers.
Some years ago BB and I thought we should starts a society called Womblers Anonymous, for all those people who collect things that-might-come-in-useful-one-day. Every week you have to go to the meeting and take something to throw away. The trouble is that with a meeting full of fellow Womblers someone else would be bound to pounce on it and say: I'll take that if you don't want it!'
Everyone would end up going home with a different piece of junk that somene else had thrown away.
Today I've thrown out six old pillows, two old duvets and two pads for cushions. Whoo-hoo! Yes! Result!
