I see many posts saying peeps have got their Christmas trees out of the loft. But is that all you keep in there?
Me? I don't have anything.....as far as I know. I haven't been up there and looked

I don't keep anything in the loft.. but I do have china dolls my niece made years ago that I'm storing for her up there. Creepy things - I made sure they were all sealed up inside cartons and well away from the hatch. I try to pretend they're not there.....
Don't ask.....I dread moving or dying for the thought of whats in my loft......

Is it something embarrassing?

LOL... if you think that's bad you should see Mr Baz's garage!!!! Goodness knows what is in there, it's also packed..... never marry a builder is my advice
*snorts*
Trouble is I was brought up with the "That might come in handy, or the Blue Peter I could make something out of that" frame of thought.....My loft...Nuff said!
Syd! You need to forget everything you were taught and sort it

I know where it is, I just haven't been out to get it
I just had my loft insulated(for free) and it's nice and neat ,no junk .I have spare bedding in vacum bags and that's it .I don't do clutter.
I have to delete all my history before I shut down my lappy each night as well as delete all email and file what I need to keep.
Blimey, Erin! It would take me about an hour to delete my mail........I have about 4 addys on the go

Tha would drive me nuts.There is a standing joke in our house that if you stand still long enough I will wash, hoover, or pack you away.
I have no idea. I've never been up there.

Me either Ells, but as far as I know the 'workmen' that I've had in have and they say there's nowt there
I don't have a loft 
When my mum and then my dad died, clearing the loft and the garage, (which were stuffed full of stuff,) was an absolute bloody nightmare, it was bad enough emptying the rest of our family home, without having to do all of that too
Yes, there were a few things that we kept, but all of that sorting 'through crates and trunks of stuff that hadn't seen the light of day for years and years, that had to be skipped/sent to charity shops etc. Thought of keeping some other stuff, but for what reason, to sit in our lofts for however long for someone else to have to sort through when we snuff it?

I might have to send the OH some day and see what's up there. Last time he went up he only got half way through the hatch and said it was empty and smelled mouldy so he wouldn't go any further

I gave most of hers away to charity, just kept the last 'good' clothes she had, from when my niece got married
