Kaderin, I've totally stuffed dirty dishes in cabinet, the oven, the microwave and ect. at times. Sometimes for too long and forgot about them.
We just did a purge last spring but honestly, we need to do it again. We got rid of quite a bit but didn't have enough time really for going through everything we wanted to. We rented a small dumpster for a weekend and made it about half way through the house. Not to mention more stuff has accumulated since then. What we really need to do as well is get the children to go through all of their crap but kids being kids, attachment issues. They don't really play with over half of their toys and stuffed animals from when they were little but they don't want to part with them either (ages 12 & 13).
Clothes is a big one for hubs. 3/4 of our closet and dresser is full of his clothes that he doesn't really wear. Some I can see keeping for sentimental value but I'm pretty sure he could get rid of like 1/3 of what he has lol.
For me it's craft and kitchen stuff mostly I'm bad about. I have a real strong desire to reuse and upcycle but never get around to it. The good thing is IF/When I get in a mood to purge I will get it done down to bare necessities and a limited amount of sentimental items. Now, maintaining that lol not the greatest throughout the year.
