Suits you sir

Our friends get rid of theirs, ours and others 'stuff' at the vide greniers - always plenty around the communes here and they do really well.

We thought about that.............for 5 seconds, & decided the folks who benefit from the local bénévole where Mme helps out could do with the proceeds more than us.
Truth is that neither of us could be arsed to try to flog 'em

Another hoarder here, as is my husband - so much stuff that just might come in useful!

I’m very into using Freecycle, have two items on at the moment, a brilliant idea to keep ‘stuff’ out of landfill.

Another hoarder here of "items of latent usefulness" as someone on a car forum where I posted this called them;
"Your tidy place puts me to shame.
My place here in France has about 400M2 of storage spread over 4 buildings & each one is
a total mess with stuff everywhere. It's sort of; 'Tractor & things agricultural' in the old boules alley. Ladders, scaffolding ,timber & such like in old longere with bench saw & welding bench. Dozens of half full paint cans & hand tools in another building & 2 cars, motorbike, lawn tractor, lawn sweeper, log splitters, branch chipper, self propelled flail weed whacker, umpteen strimmers & chain saws, self propelled garden digger thing, trailer, etc, etc, a huge round of hay & other feeds for horses plus my work bench in the main barn attached to house & stables. Probably much more 'stuff' than I've mentioned but me brains falling out trying to remember what I've got.
It's true when they say "Extra space lets people keep things they do not need & Buying new things feels simple when storage is not an issue." At least 4 recent trips to the tip with the old Pug 806 stuffed full hasn't put the slightest dent in it.
We moved to France 23 years ago with one car & a lorry load of furniture & tools so most of the above has been collected since then.
Dog knows what I'll do if we ever decide to move."

We're similar to @L Austin France, Came here 22 years ago, with not a lot of stuff. We're going to put our house on the market soon. OH has made about 12 trips to the tip with the trailer full so far. I'm hoping to get rid of a lot of our furniture and things and make a fresh start in the new place. Wherever we end up will still have to have a large workshop. I'm not mentioning my sewing room.
