But what is this 'stuff' that you refer to ?
The stuff in our loft is some furniture, two boxes of ornaments, photos and pictures from my grandmothers. Research archives and all of my past teaching notes, vinyl records, some books, three amps, and that is about it

Stuff =
Inherited curios. Kept for sentimental value although will probably never see the light of day in the cottage.
Christmas decorations.
Work stuff. Although I've given up my job I've kept a hold of all my technical literature just in case I end up back in the career.
Old computers, laptops, tv's, record players and radios. This stuff I know can go elsewhere.
Old ornaments and purchases from holidays and the like. They used to grace our shelves in the cottage but have been relegated for more beautiful stuff. These can probably go also.
I'm sure there's more stuff up there also but I've now broken out in a cold sweat so I'll have to stop thinking about the task ahead now
I'm much better at getting rid of stuff than him; then again I have to be because I appear to have some kind of compulsion to acquire kitchen equipment and books. I can't bear ornaments, don't wear jewellery, don't buy clothes for fun (at least not for several years), don't like gadgets much, and am not very sentimental, as a result I don't really think I own a lot of junk/useless/clutter but anyone coming in to our house looking for a floor might think differently.
In terms of "stuff about the house that takes up space and hasn't been used recently"...books! (fiction once read is given away or goes in to the loft to be resurrected one day); clothes that are too scruffy for day to day use or giving away but still fit and eventually come back out for gardening/decorating/dog walking etc; useful rereadable magazines like TKG and CS (not decade old car and PC magazines like some people I know and love); some kitchen equipment we don't have room to have out all the time including the missing in action pasta machine; the rest of it is his, as far as I know.

Typical - women just have any soul when it comes to keeping things.
Are you suggesting that TD got Bugs from a Charity Shop?
Well they don't just churn the likes of me off a production line you know, you have to hunt round carefully. And Mochyn, there was I thinking you were such a nice girl. I'm shocked, and distressed. Can't trust anyone round here.

three amps,
they're not valve amps by any chance ? I know at least one person who would add them to their collection (of valve technology awaiting repair)...
I'd guess that they're amps with an 'L' in front of them.
