Death Cleaning & Memories

[@munchkinheaven7877]

My mother would shut the curtains when someone in the street died

[@dianeirvine1384]

I agree about washing the clothes before handing them to a charity shop. It’s the kind thing to do.

[@margaretalice6343]

Sean you are so natural and genuine. I find your channel truly inspiring Look forward to seeing more of the same 🤩

[@SuzanneU]

Thank you for the inspiration. When I did my first wardrobe clear out, I kept garments because they'd been expensive or because somebody I care about gave them to me. They'll be going out in my next donation run.

[@GreenEarthGardener]

Oh I love this Sean - you’re just like me, starts off “that’s from GAP, I can’t fit into it anymore - well I think I’ll keep that one!!” 😅

[@margaretalice6343]

We all benefit from a clear out and take our surplus stuff to charity shops. It can be a struggle for us hoarders 🤩

[@TurtleMyrtle12]

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. 🙂 Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank, and Gideon.

[@lindah937]

I would wash, iron, put on hangers, photograph and put all those expensive shirts on vinted and sell the lot, with the cash buy a few good shirts that fit you now, someone will get good use of them, or you just end up chucking them in the drawers until you have another clear out and do the same again!

[@ukaly1]

I still have my old school tie and I'm almost 72!! Girls had to wear them too back in my day (NE England). I was talking to you on my TV screen telling you seven brides for seven brothers, but someone already told you that 😂

[@LINDAWATSONGARDEN]

Well Sean I didn't know you could sing. You do have a lovely voice. Thanks for serenading me as I went to bed. 🤣🤣🤣

[@pennythompson4790]

I love watching people have a clear outxx

[@judywright5565]

Try on the gap shirts before you hang them back up. If they don't fit take them to a consignment clothing shop and sell them. I am doing the same thing right now. Gets easier as you go along and you realize how much you originally had and never wear.

[@Sandra_P-ri9up]

I never thought i would watch a video of someone choosing clothes 😂 Sean you made some magic here with our minds hahaha. Nice sense of humor too

[@NavyCopMA1]

I need to do this badly (heavy major clean up). Having a harder time parting with things these days and really need to overcome that and just do it. My 18 year old cat has kitty alzheimers and doesn't remember the litter box and mostly goes in either the bathroom (waterproof floor) or the kitchen (newly remodeled and all tile) so no harm no foul. I put down puppy pee training pads and she hits those 90% of the time. At 18 years of age and still mostly chugging along I don't fault her for her issues. I guess this defines me as the quintessential crazy cat dad! (And I wear that title proudly!)

[@claudinevandamme4809]

Great video and great voice too...

[@karen4you]

This was really perfect for me right now as sorting out possessions is something needed every so often. I'm not moving but while watching I came to the realization that some things I own just need to find new homes so I can just gain some room, use and enjoy what I have. I have some expensive boots that were supposed to be warm but the company lied, just fashion boots not truly useful. I don't have any expensive clothing but was enjoying your way of making decisions. Plus going to look at everything means finding treasures one forgot about.

[@sharonbell7335]

Great set of pipes you have on you Sean!

[@muddyboots2531]

Great big clear out. What a lot of fun. Puss might be trying to tell you something and might be in a little discomfort.

[@lorellstoneman74]

I went through my clothes like that and did not regret it....I also made the decision to have the same socks, the same brand, in only black (gold toe brand)....they hold up real well......then if you grab 2 socks out of the clean clothes ...its always a pair...I fold them together in 3rds. And roll the top back. to lock them together......simplify. it's easier to give away to thrift store if you picture it just fitting someone who really loves it, and needs it...maybe for that new job they are applying for. Thanks Sean love you humor, and a nice voice.

[@DebbieRobb-tt5he]

Great watching you Sean. I must do the same. We always seem to think we might need it.

[@Honeybee-ym5vi]

Good for you, Sean! Yes! I began Swedish death cleaning last spring. Summer in the desert SW of U.S. is like winter elsewhere. You stay indoors out of oppressive and often dangerous heat. I stopped when summer truly hit with high temperatures because the house is hot (even with A/C), and heat makes me sleepy, tired, and weak. Now, we are finally seeing cooler days, and I will be back in the garage getting out boxes and sorting again. Some will remain for a community garage sale in the spring, and much will go to Goodwill or Catholic Charities (as we call them in the U.S.). Wonderful feeling...isn't it?...to get rid of stuff!

[@margaretg7861]

Very entertaining Sean.. I need to do some chucking out too.. I do have a nice cosy dressing gown which is lovely in Winter . .Funerals I have been to , the Funeral Director will walk a few hundred yards in front of the hearse and then get back in again for the drive, so it does happen in England as well. Nice tradition.. Hope you got all the stuff to the Charity shop.. Well done ..

[@christinaplaisted9563]

Just come across this one , couldn't believe it , I was doing the same thing sorting my clothes out for when i move to France , and I also have a cape like you but black velvet and purple inside , and earlier today , was reading my book called the earth's cycle of celebrations ❤❤

[@laylamorgan4018]

When it comes to decluttering if it's not an immediate hell yes then its a no....if you think to much then believe me you will create a scenario in your head to convince yourself to keep it.... watch the minimalists they say "just in case" are the 3 most dangerous words... they also say if the items you're thinking about decluttering were to spontaneously combust would you go out and buy them again...if you wouldn't then get rid.....i love to declutter 😂

[@kathleen5237]

Yes they do it in England. When it was my dad's funeral in 2012 a girl member of the funeral director's staff walked in front of the hearse. She wore a black top hat

[@Melanie_at_APlotOfFun]

Seven brides for seven brothers. 😊 Maybe pop the Gap clothes that no longer fit onto Vinted and the money that you make, put to one side to help you when you do move home. 😊 x

[@caravb5906]

Adding to my last comment, I have lived in lots of different places so have duplicates of a lot of things, antiques and books. Planning to download some apps and do some selling. I don't like the idea of death cleaning. No intention of dying until i am 150 lol 😅 xxx

[@jimstormcrow]

I didn't know that you were into the pagan thing mate. Blessed be.

[@AnnieRed66]

I hope no followers were lost, because Sean mentioned being Pagan...you probably know how some people are under the bizarre misconception, that us Pagans are connected to the dark side of religion, even though we're not actually "religious" 🙄

[@greyfeather7857]

Loved Zippy at the end 😂 I’ve moved house multiple times so have had plenty of clear outs. We have a 1 in 1 out rule now. If you buy a pair of shoes you should get rid of a pair that are old or you don’t wear any more,same goes for clothes etc. when we downsized we agreed to keep 6 mugs,plates and bowls as we’d accumulated so much crockery over the years. I don’t like a heated bedroom and like you I remember ice on the inside of my bedroom window,not that I want to return to those childhood times. Well done for making a start you can always revisit the clearance another day and question why you’re keeping clothes that don’t fit anymore. I have a friend who made a memory quilt using old clothes,maybe do something similar?

[@robynpomnitz4483]

Oh my goodness. Why aren't you on stage you have a beautiful voice

[@annwright7552]

I never knew my grandfather, but I was told that part of his job at the local builders /undertakers was to walk in front of the hearse, and I have a photo of him very smartly dressed in his top hat and tails. His other day job was as a carpenter/cabinet maker. So one day window frames next day coffins !

[@jartotable]

You always need 4 shirts, a summer/winter/wedding/date shirt 😋

[@TurtleMyrtle12]

Aww... Sean has a Shaun the Sheep. That's sweet. 🙂

[@ukaly1]

In America if a funeral procession comes along, Hearst followed by several cars, you are supposed to pull over to the side of the road and let them go by.

[@welshmanjasonpatrick8607]

Look good see interesting doing thing in house in winter months

[@CraigWhitmore-g3x]

IAM doing the same sean moving to a nice bungalow

@3:26 Seven brides for seven brothers!

[@margarethassler5559]

Seven brides for seven brothers!

[@caravb5906]

I think its a good thing but i often buy clothes from the charity shop to reuse the fabric and buttons as they are so expensive these days. Cheaper high street clothes always have cheap buttons and zips. Yes, i sew and knit lol. Got jumpers on needles. Some handknits can sell for up to £800. One way of making extra money. Also the extra fabric can be recycled into clothes and blankets and patchwork. Good stress reliever after problem solving for a few hours. Its amazing what people will buy. Especially made to measure xxx

[@andrewhead6267]

Can I say that you made a big mistake straight away. When you said “this is a good jacket - but it might not fit” If you don’t use it, don’t think about how good it is Or how much it cost. Only keep what you use regularly. Not worn or used in last 12 months get rid. On money in pockets, when we cleared my late father’s garage, we found £250 in a pocket of a pair of overalls. Probably cheaper than a home safe! It’s Sevenoaks for Seven Sisters.

[@yvonneevie5926]

25 year old t.shirt 😯 thats amazing still to have had that... i havnt even got clothes that are 25 months old..... im always getting rid 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and twice ive heard you sing a little bit 😀 you have a nice singing voice 😀 more please 😃

[@robynpomnitz4483]

But my granny would love for quilts lol

[@sammywalrus]

Need debating to do this or not but think this video is a sign to get my bum in gear! 😂

[@christinesimpkin570]

Thanks for sharing your clear out with us Sean. Some very nice stuff there 🙂

[@annsmith1922]

You do realise that you have got to wash that lot that you have kept and worse still, iron them!!😱😱😱😱🥰

[@ellieb3930]

I don't consider the price I paid. It's a 'sunk cost' in that you've already spent the money whether it sits in the back of your closet for the next 20 years or donate it to a charity shop.

[@historybarf]

My cat was doing that and it was his first symptom of diabetes. He lived a year and 9 months after the diagnosis. Your kitty prob just isn’t feeling well.

[@seanjamescameron]

Doing what? Can’t remember what I said 8 months ago.

[@historybarf]

@@seanjamescameron lol. They were pissing on the bed.

[@historybarf]

@@seanjamescameron sorry, I’m catching up on old videos

[@vaunmalone3064]

Been there, it's actually a nightmare. Separate, donate, keep and dump! A few regrets but it makes moving easier. Don't do it all at once Sean thats my advice.😊

[@peggysweeney8]

I dont think i would call it death ...im 53 and im still here😅

[@mayday3109]

Don't put the lamb in the microwave if you're not sure. You could end up with a dog's dinner, lol.

[@robynpomnitz4483]

7 brothers

[@MarleneCurrie-j5e]

Enjoyed that - was hilarious. I think you are a bit of a hoarder. Hope you get the cat problem sorted out soon, there will be a reason why she is doing that.

[@christinesimpkin570]

Great voice too 👌🏻
