The magic of tidying

Hello @Oaktree @Complex123 @Shaz51 @Glisten many thanks for your support. Today was a bit difficult but my helper was supportive. I've now got even more boxes to go through. I guess it had to get worse before it can start getting better.

Thanks @Complex123 . She helps with some things. Other things can be complicated and difficult.

I hear you give support - but do you get the support you need? Good luck with your house and job hunting, it's not easy.

@Dimity that’s why we are all here. To get the support we need. Unless it is a lived experience not many people will understand.

If it’s any consolation I’m cleaning a house that was formerly occupied by a guy who had very poor eyesight and liked to use the interior as a workshop :hammer_and_wrench:️ Even though there is a proper workshop straight through the kitchen.

He also had 3 cutlery 🍴 sets, that becomes 1 cutlery set tomorrow.

I’m going to clean 🧼 the bathroom with hydrochloric acid.

The washing machine works great now I descaled it.

Have you thought of donating a box 📦? If you haven’t used the contents?

just a thought 💭

Hope you sleep well tonight G

@Glisten I can't bring myself to donate these boxes without knowing the contents. I'd catalogued the contents prior to packing them and feel the need to update the catalogues to reflect what I donate.... and there's also stuff there I want to keep. So it's a process.

Other boxes have stuff I'll need to shred or recycle.

Was your place fully furnished when you moved in? That would present its own challenges.

@Dimity I’m a minimalist anyway.
I found one box of cards, letters and photos. I took photos of them all and sent them to the people who gave them to me. They LOVED IT! It meant so much to them. Then I got rid of the hard copies it was really good feeling for everyone 😊

I’m going to build my own furniture and wood turn my own plates and bowls.

Have you got any hobbies?
