That's an epic start, MTF. It's really tough getting rid of parent's stuff but knowing it will go to a good home really helps. You're doing the right thing letting someone else have the enjoyment of them.

Thank you.
I think it is very easy to hold onto things that have a perceived sentimental value but often they lock you in the past and prevent forward movement.
As difficult as it sometimes is, I try to think of myself as a custodian of physical items and regardless of monetary value, once something no longer serves any use it is time to find it a new home where it will be enjoyed.
The challenge with overwhelming clutter is that it prevents use and enjoyment of those things I actually do want to keep.
Sending best wishes out to everyone reading this thread going through the same process of clearing; keep chipping away and you'll make steady progress
Practised what I preach this weekend too. Had an old enamel bread bin full of glass jars of screws, cable grips, potentiometer knobs, nuts, dials, back plates, general crap that was my dad's.
He had a stroke in 85, they've been around since then, kept as they might have something useful in.
They didn't.

We have just spotted a property by the coast, all my old jusk up the lift will make great decorations and if we rent it out it won't matter if they steal a few things
