    This is the first challenge; The clearing out of all the stuff 'That might come in handy one day' like my fathers Bowler hat, two record collections including 'My Boy Lillipop' (I know) photographs going back to the launching of the Arc, the Hostess Tray, and so on. The excersize Cross-trainer (five years old with five minutes use). A thousand things the 'will be valuable one day - assorted decorative plates that do have a value of about 10% of what we paid for them. That's why programs like Antiques Roadshow and Bargain Hunt are of national importance because if all that assorted crap hit landfill at once the British Isles would sink. So It has started, progress is slow, reminiscence demands attention, then the dithering and eventually it gets shunted off to the opposite end of the attic. Some has made it into bin-liners to the dusties on a Thursday morning. [Never look down on the Dusties - you only find out their true value when they stop coming - remember the '70s strikes]. Slowly out indoor landfill is subsiding, it has to be slow, my employer still keeps paying me so I'd better keep turning up. But, one day, there will be a clear space, one day - As they say - "Every great journey starts with the first step".
