Well done, Simon. Thats actually a big decision.
You will probably find lots of rubbish that can be chucked out too. Is the tip open near you? I found so much in the way of broken things, old shopping lists, bank statements from 20 years previously, correspondance from poeple who had died, general tat, out of date food and all sorts of things that I have no idea why she kept, that I did several tip runs. Just watch out for valuables in unlikely places. I found a gold chain in mums tea caddy under the tea bags - I only found it because I decided that mum wouldnt mind me using her tea bags while I cleared her home. So check everything!
