Tidy Up - the final result

Observe, if you will, my wonderful clean and tidy house...
Like. Like. Like.
Erm, well except for the Spare Room of Doom...
*crickets*
Excuses for scooping up all the clutter and depositing it in one room include (but are not limited to)...

  • Spending Monday morning driving back and forth to school due to Miss 5 and her fake earache
  • Having Miss 5 at home with her fake earache for the rest of Monday and confining her to the house in order to hammer home the lesson that sick days are not fun
  • Miss 5 having revenge by fundamentally and comprehensively trashing the few untrashed parts of the house
  • Having Miss 5 at home on Tuesday due to genuine cold, which obviously caused the earache, which was in fact not fake, and I am a bad, bad mother
  • Miss 5 Retrashing the house to prove the point that I am a bad bad mother
  • Then on Wednesday... hmm, well I'd had Miss 5 at home for two days and I chose not to spend my few precious hours of peace tidying (she refused to stay home  - heh)
So the tidy up mostly happened this morning.  I got it done, kind of, even though the day started badly due to a bin-juice in hair incident (full story tomorrow).

The Cleaners upped the price by $10 after they saw the state of the place (the dust was pretty spectacular).  Honestly I think they deserve double!

A person after my own heart, I'd be lost without the spare bedroom.

It looks great.   I agree with Sue - don't show pictures of where you stashed everything.

No hope whatsoever :)  Am cursed with terminal honesty and also amused by own borderline hoarding disorder.  Siiiiigh.
