The behaviour and genetics of a hoarder

I am evolving into less of a hoarder. This evolutionary feat is no mean task, and flies in the face of thirty three years of deeply embedded behaviour. I collect clutter. A neat handbag is a mystery to me. My drawers are full of crap. But this is changing. Today I've been tackling one of the bedrooms. Lots of stuff has been sorted through, and organised for the tip, the charity shop, the car boot. And the child has been telling me off, because "We need to keep this". Child is a product of two hoarders. Lord help her.
