I had a fun afternoon yesterday going through my cupboard and the boxes under my bed . It was like opening a time capsule , some of the stuff had gone untouched for that long . Since we last moved I'd all but forgotten i owned so much crap , because i keep a much tidier and clutter - free room than i used to have . I started to realise that's largely because most of what i own is * still * packed away in the same boxes i used when moving , and a lot of this stuff i uncovered was antique and long forgotten even then . 
Question: Why had some of the stuff gone untouched for that long ?
We rarely use them .
