I spent a couple of years long after my kids left trying to get the house "de-junked".. I really, really intended to clean the extras out, give away stuff and make the kids take their stuff home with them.. I did get the kid's stuff to them... Then my DMIL needed my help and I put the clean out on hold. After a couple more years she passed away and I have to clean out her stuff.. She was 93 and had everything she had ever had! My DL was anxious to begin work on her house so we made the decision to bring her "stuff" to our basement where I could finish finding homes for all the things. About the time I finally got it all over her and separated the tornado came and completely ripped everything to pieces. I have said that God knew I had good intentions, but that I'd never really get it done. So, HE took care of getting rid of stuff for me!!
Going through the debris I found our "To Do" list.. 2 full pages of a yellow legal pad.. I took a Sharpie and wrote DONE across the pages and gave them to my DL.. we laughed and tossed the pad in the pile of trash.
One way or another, it will get done.
