OK, so I spent an hour doing our bedroom and here is the result. Please bear in mind that I also pulled the bed out, swept and wiped behind it, took a load of things into the loft, put a load in the bins and recycling, sorted a pile of ebay clothes and charity shop stuff and rearranged under the bed.
None of this can be seen in the photo but I did do it, honest!

Will post the before photo again first so you appreciate the difference as to most people this will still look messy!



Please also bear in mind that the bags on the far chest of drawers are going to freecycle/charity shop and the box on the closer one is a hamper for someone. The printer lives there tho! As does the sit-up bar thing, when I'm not using it of course :rolleyes:


Only 2 of the chests of drawers work, the big one has clothes in the top 2 drawers and we can sort of use them but the bottom 2 have collapsed. The drawer on the left are empty and waiting OH to take them to the tip :rolleyes:
I think I need a wardrobe lol

So much for my easy day today. Was just dropping DD off at school this morning when one of the other mums asked me what DD was wearing tomorrow. It turns out that they have to dress up in Japanese or Australian clothes for some topic they are doing this term. So I've spent all day sorting out a costume.
Didn't get much sleep last night because of my back so I'm going to have an early night and try again tomorrow.
