I am talking about domestic items CLKD, old pillows, old crockery etc. bits and pieces that "that might come in handy" and never used and never see the light of day. Jars and jars of odds and ends
I would never touch his personal items, clothes and files (loads of files) I just try to encourage him to sort those out himself.
I think if it isn't useful or beautiful its not necessary.
Like grumpy I keep photos, jewellery my personal files including My Family History research, but clear my drawers out regularly to get rid of clutter.
