Mr evie has announced a grand plan to do a complete overhaul of our huge built in wardrobe. This is not only full of our clothes, but also boxes of books and "papers." There's the stuff we never or rarely use like sleeping bags, luggage, and objects in bags. Things from the past.
This task can not be accomplished in a weekend . I'm a little concerned.
You'll feel better when it's done, Evie!
That's an illness.
I keep buying stuff to try to keep from having to clean mine as often. :)
This is my latest purchase:

Stringent.
I'm going to need the shovel for the daughter's bedroom.
My house is currently in a state of disarray. :( I had started to clean, organize and put new presents in their new homes. Then little got sick which resulted in me not feeling well and all I can do is look at the mess (damn slut's wool) and wish I had the energy to clean it up.P.s. I did not get to see any of Laurin's pictures. I enjoyed the second half of this thread and I love the Ficus.
I really need to clean my bedroom and my studio this week. Both of them are disgusting. I keep putting it off!

297 is ridiculously cute - that is one seriously exploitative invention.
When I saw the first picture, I thought that's messy?! Then I saw the next two and felt a bit better. I use to have the messiest bedroom in all the land when I was a kid. My mom took pictures of it to show people. I think she thought she could shame me into keeping it more clean. I was a busy kid, though. I played sports (including summer clubs), was on Student Council and the National Honor Society, babysat and had boyfriends. When was I suppose to clean?

My sewing studio! I do costume design.

"In my area housekeeping is a matter of godly virtue and family and social pressure. It is so bad I have been known to get up in the middle of the night to dust the baseboards because I cannot sleep for fear of DOOM and violence. I am a failure. I should kill myself, but then WHO WOULD CLEAN MY HOUSE AFTER I AM DEAD? The anxiety I live with is overwhelming, but I manage to survive, rock out on my guitar, and live fearing the crumbs I must have missed cleaning from under my refrigerator the way some of us fear a malignant tumor. This is not easy."

"If something spills in my refrigerator, it generally does not get cleaned up right away. Which means, when I do get around to cleaning it up, it gets hard and sticky and takes twice as long to clean. This time, I lined my refrigerator shelves and drawers with Glad Press & Seal plastic. This was an amazing idea I found on Pintrest. If a mess happens, I can just remove the plastic and replace it instead of spending a ton of time cleaning the refrigerator!"
Mod
Another good idea. Takes 5 seconds and then you never have to worry about having a messy sink.
Where did I put those bloody Clorax wipes? I'll just move this crap from in front of the laundry cupboard and see if it's in there.
Mod
Good invention! I would use the hell out of some giant Q-tips.
I am sitting at my kitchen table looking at the disarray that has assembled upon it. I swear I clean it off several times a week! There is so much crap on it right now. I just feel like sitting and sketching but I should really clean off the table, instead.
I feel your pain. I have found myself beginning to mumble about how things can never seem to find their way back to their homes while I go around returning them to their respective spots. I might be on the road to insanity.
Mod
I need a larger apartment and a garage.
I cleaned the table off so everyone can rest easy now.
Mod
Well, now you have a place to sit and eat.We have yet to find out if the dishes are done or if there is a toilet to use, afterward.
In my home, if they throw something at the garbage can and it doesn't make it they do not pick it up, who in hell do they think picks it up? the garbage fairy, oh, yeah, that's me.
I remember visiting a friend a long time ago. They had garbage piled up so high in the kitchen it was making marks on the ceiling.
Mod
Unless we're talking frat boys here. Different situation.
No, it was my friend in high school. His mother would tell him to take out the trash but he wouldn't do it. I guess they had a stand off.He died in a car crash. He was drunk and ran into another car and killed three other teenagers.
::hands susan a back scratcher and some lotion::
I had a flatmate back in the 80's a bit like your friend, Felix. She was really messy . I lived with her for about a year and when I moved out the ashtray full of bumpers from our moving in day was still in her bedroom.It turned out that she had a massive brain tumour . I'm surprised she did as well as she did . I believe after surgery, she had a 90% chance of being paralysed. This did not happen. She was seriously straight laced after that . Something like that would snap you to attention.
