    Our house doesn’t have a cellar or any other place to store unused stuff in apart from a small chamber in the attic. Helps a lot.

    An (american) ex used to use the expression "smooth like a Ken doll, nothing down there". Err, NOT ABOUT ME, shut up. I can only assume that the expression was a common(ish) expression at some point.
