Oh wow – that happens to me a lot. Usually impulse purchases for DIY projects that never get done.
And books – well can’t even go there! We did some renovations about 3 years ago and I had to empty out my library – 35 boxes just my own not counting the kids books – must have been another dozen or so boxes there, can’t remember. Anyway, in an attempt to force myself to get rid of some I purposely did not return one of the book cases ( wide with 5 shelves) to the room and replaced it with another piece of furniture so I wouldn’t be tempted. I had intended to get rid of what didn’t fit however it proved to be overwhelming and they are still in the boxes in the basement. I’ve been trying to force myself to get rid of them over the last several weeks and currently have quite a few boxes on the stairs to bring away. I have been buying less though over the last 6 months – although I did “discover” kindle on my ipad recently, which is great for the space issue but very tempting and makes it far too easy to spend money.
