am sorting out my bedroom for the big turn around by hubby tomorrow but it just doesnt seem to get any clearer have boxes on landing to go in loft and a black bag ready to go in dustbin but it still doesnt look any different.

The only change i can see if the desk is clear apart from the computer which he is taking down tomorrow anyway.

Helppppppppp

This one puzzles me, too! What I want to know is, if I clean my room out and get rid of a binliner full of stuff leaving me with everything I can't bear to throw out, how come six months later I can fill another binbag with rubbish?

I'm not very good at throwing things out!

I have got better at throwing away and have a box for childrens work I cant bear to throw away and have got into habt of sending hubby into loft straight away to put it in there but still the room is a tip. Ok have Toddler bed in here as well and some of her toys but still plenty of my rubbish.

Just hope once loft is done and laddo moves up there and she has his room mine will become a little bit more tidy but i doubt it lol

In my experience 'stuff' seems to expand into whatever space is available.

I am hoping that when daughter gets her house later this month, then EVERYTHING that doesn't belong to second daughter, or OH or me, will be able to go.

I haven't had a tidy house in years. I seem to have all the 'don't-want-to-throw-it-out-just-yet' stuff from elder daughter, grandson and my son.

They've got a shock coming...........
