Homes are full of essential and non-essential items.
Los hogares están llenos de objetos esenciales y no esenciales.

Some people have made their entire careers, and fortunes, out of helping people to try and declutter their household items.
Algunas personas han hecho su carrera, y fortunas, ayudando a la gente a despejar su casa.

I only try to buy what is absolutely essential for my home.
Yo sólo intento comprar lo que es absolutamente esencial para mi casa.

I save up to buy good quality items so that I don’t have to keep replacing them.
Ahorro para comprar artículos de buena calidad y no tener que sustituirlos constantemente.

For example, I spend $150 on a toaster instead of $30.
Por ejemplo, me gasto 150 dólares en una tostadora en lugar de 30.

I like to buy quirky items for my home.
Me gusta comprar cosas extravagantes para mi casa.

I want my home to be unique.
Quiero que mi casa sea única.

I want my home to reflect my personality. However, neither do I want my home to feel untidy! Quiero que mi casa refleje mi personalidad. Pero tampoco quiero que mi casa parezca desordenada.

I like everything in my home to be neat.
Me gusta que todo esté ordenado.

When my partner lived on his own, his house was a mess.
Cuando mi pareja vivía solo, su casa era un desastre.

He had things everywhere!
Tenía cosas por todas partes.

There were always dirty dishes waiting to be cleaned.
Siempre había platos sucios esperando a ser limpiados.

The oven was filthy, and the hob was covered in grime.
El horno estaba sucio y la placa de cocción, llena de mugre.

The bathroom was a disgrace - the bath looked like it had never been cleaned!
El cuarto de baño era una vergüenza: ¡parecía que nunca hubieran limpiado la bañera!

Once we moved in together, we had to agree on how we were going to look after our belongings.
Cuando nos fuimos a vivir juntos, tuvimos que ponernos de acuerdo sobre cómo íbamos a cuidar de nuestras pertenencias.

We work hard to keep the house neat.
Nos esforzamos mucho por mantener la casa ordenada.

Clothes go away in wardrobes when they are washed.
La ropa se guarda en los armarios cuando se lava.

Dirty laundry goes straight in the washing basket, well mine does at least!
La ropa sucia va directamente al cesto de la ropa sucia, ¡al menos la mía!

I’m still working on getting my partner to put his washing into the basket instead of next to it!
Todavía estoy trabajando para conseguir que mi compañero ponga la ropa en la cesta en lugar de al lado.
