ooooohh - or this one...

igaveupnowimback

Can I join again please?

I used to post, way back. Good for a while then the old crash/burn scenarios ...

I really need support, I don't know how bad anyone has been with clutter, but mine is neverending and I need to clear stuff fast!

I've been making progress but I get overwhelmed.

I now think I've got some damage to the flat that I need to let the landlord see but I have to clear rooms first and I am ashamed that something I neglected to fix - because of clutter and fearing workmen coming in to the house - has caused a major problem.

I am going back to do it, but any help much appreciated.
