I moved from a 32m² flat to a 110m² 2 bed house, plus a workshop,
office garden shed, and summer house. The workshop and shed alone are
bigger than the old flat. I need to tidy up and make a trip to the
dump, the whole place is looking rather full.

Our downsizing effort consisted of moving into a house about 20%
larger with a very large double garage and a 40ft x 20ft
barn/workshop. Needless to say, the crap expanded to fill the
available space, exactly as Parkinson's Law predicts.

Same here. I rented a 1 metre cube at the storage place. Now it's 70
sq.
ft. And then we temporarily got a container to store M-I-L's excess
stuff. That's all gone and the container is still full.

(I guess it's a corollary of Parkinson's Law, really. I used to have
dinner with him occasionally).

Did he eat more slowly if there was plenty of time?

He ate slower than me. But then most people do.
