Upsetting everyone

Over the past few days I have been getting rid of 'stuff'. It's clearly annoying Tony and yesterday it upset Alexander.  In my hallway I have a huge model train in a glass case. It used to pull children around a track in a local park so that gives you an idea of how big it is. It was made for Alexander when he was a baby by his late father. Alexander says he doesn't have space in his home for it so it came to me.  Now that I am decluttering  I gave him three options... Offer it on lone to a local railway museum, sell it, or take it home and find a space for it.  Having laughed at me for years at how much junk I keep, he got upset with me when I asked him to deal with it. Tony was irritated when I asked him to move all his football programs from the book case and put them in the loft or the bin.  He never so much as looks at them and there must be about sixty of the darn things. He asked why I was suddenly wanting to declutter. I pointed out to him that other than him very occasionally running the vacuum around the place the only person cleaning is me.  I am no longer prepared to clean around junk. It's time we had a massive 'get rid'.  He has two motorbikes in the garage. One he bought to 'do up' over sixteen years ago. He has never so much as glanced at it. The other he hasn't ridden in years.  Can you imagine how much space it would free up if he got rid of them. I have come to realise that we have a house full of junk that is nothing to do with me. Everyone has kind of blamed me for keeping stuff... now that I want to get rid it has become apparent to them all that actually a huge amount of it is not mine. Tony is far more sentimental about 'stuff' than I am. I plan on going through my ornaments today and packing a load up for the charity shop.  I have many that were bought for me that I don't in fact like.  I was keeping them for fear of upsetting the giver.  I doubt they will even notice that they have gone .  Decluttering is so liberating.
