Decluttering and home maintenance

Decluttering and home maintenance

When MI crisis happens, keeping house can take low priority. But having a messy house can further dent what is often an already low self esteem. Build up of grime follows and rodents have a field day in inaccessible places.

Getting that 2 minute job done (that has been annoying you for years) can lift ones spirit.

I have slowly been decluttering and tidying up our house. The progress made thus far has been achieved primarily by persistently dealing with one item a day.

What has often kept me going has been the encouragement from others @Faith-and-Hope, @Smc @Determined @Shaz51

This tip passed on to me today. Hang all your clothes in the wardrobe with the hanger back to front. As you wear them, return them with the hanger the right way round. In 6-12 months review all items that remain on back to front hangers with a view to donating/selling them.

I am hoping their job is done as well as the Shazzle Dazzle Sparkle & Shine service @Determined @Shaz51 . Anything we can do ahead of time will help reduce cost, cleaning is not one of my strong points however and getting someone in ensures that job is up to scratch (they will also clean the carpets).

Yay @Shaz51 👍

We have a gardening friend who called in and picked up a haul from the shed today.

Mr Darcy dropped off a few more items at the op shop.

Shed is pretty much sorted now. A fair portion of clutter has been attended to.

Mr Darcy will not relax until all is packed and ready.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance

We have really not had to throw out too much considering what we had @Shaz51, we have passed things onto others or to the op shop. I have had to restrain Mr Darcy from passing on things that we will use.
