    If you saw the state of the kids rooms, you would not expect them to make much money clearing other people's clutter!

  • It's easier to do other people's stuff!

    You gotta do the thing that is make small sly somments about mess and highlight what is mess, they soon get it in their head and then do it themselves! that way they can say they did it without you moaning when you have been, just using a small amount Wife Swap husband undermining!

    You're all very able women! I'm sure you can find a way to crack them!

    After what I came home to today, i think you will probably realise that yours is not so bad!! Dont know how to post a picture or I would!!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
  • In those situations my mum would go ballistic and then won't cook dinner until we cleaned!

    Haha Walshy! DS is a good cook so if I said I wouldn't cook dinner, he would just go ahead and cook something far better than I would have done in the first place!!!

    He knows that I am so busy that I might forget to cook for him, so he developed that particular skill fairly early on in life!!

    now.....if I witheld their race entry fees.......hmmmmmm:cool:

    I think those people who charge you to de-clutter don't actually de-clutter for you

    They sit with an assortment of bin-bags and help you to decide what to get rid of :rotfl:
    They say things like
    "A capsule wardrobe consists of x outfits. Therefore 95% of your wardrobe goes"
    You probably can only own 6 T-shirts for example, whereas I probably have 60 :rotfl:

    Oh, I know I would end up doing the work myself, but it might be worth it just to be shamed/terrified into actually chucking out those 54 faded shapeless t-shirts that might come in handy for decorating :o

    Only 54 :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Have to admit I do that as well BUT I've recently cleared them all out and taken them to the textile bank at school - we get quite good money from it which goes to the school we support in Kenya. :T :T
