Bathroom is done. Declutterd and cleaned. Lovely.
I've always kept my bathroom clear of most junk, so it was the easiest room in the house.
It took me an hour to clean everything and on my hands and knees wiping the floor.
I just need to remember to clean it once a week or maybe every 2 weeks.
Friday morning and I'm feeling drained.
I am just a few bags and boxes away from a almost completely clutter free home and ready to start cleaning.
The feeling of feeling drained may be because I need a rest, or it may be because i am up all night. Either way i need to feel better to continue with the clean up.
I know i will do the last bits today, i will make sure i do. And that's where my mind is at a blank.
It must be the cleaning i know is next and im thinking about it and where do I start that is holding me up.
I decorated the bathroom some months ago and i haven't been keeping as clean as i want it. That has been playing on my mind today. I clean up the house just for it to get dirty again.
So I'm sitting here thinking about these things and making myself even more tired.
My advice to myself is just to pack up the last few bits, have a shower. Eat some dinner and relax today.
UPDATE. 430pm
I packed up the last bits and had a shower. Im not feeling as tired now but i still haven't got much motivation to do anymore cleaning. Im sick of it.
Today i will continue with relaxing and recharge myself up for the next process.
330am and I've just loaded up the loft with what might be the 2nd to last time.
I'm looking around my house and everything is just small bits i can easily pack in bags and stick up the loft.
I guess at about 4 bags but not including the kitchen things.
Amazing! I've basically removed the clutter from my living space and the loft isn't overflowing leaving me plenty of room to go up there and sort it out bit by bit.
If i can bag up whats left and put it in the loft tomorrow then i can start thinking about the furniture and decorating.
Only yesterday i said i was over thinking and thinking too far ahead. I didn't realise how close i was to this point.
I gave myself 2 months, which is the end of November but ive clearly declutterd sooner then i expected. It is a cheat sticking it all in the loft, but it had to be done. And it will be all sorted out throughout next year.
Tonight i think i can relax now till the morning, then i bag up whats left remembering to not bag up anything that i use regularly and anything that may be used to decorate the house.
I got about 7 weeks left till my end date.
Warning ⚠️ looking to far ahead of the job.
Box up more stuff today organising things together will make it easier for later when i have to decide what to keep or not.
Move non essentials up in the loft making more space in the storage room for things i want to use.
I got this really fancy idea for decorating the living room inspired by a AI image i gave details to. I think i will do a test paint on my bedroom first to see how it looks. I could end up with my bedroom looking like my living room, or at least the same theme. Im happy with that. And i can't decorate yet till all this house is cleaned up.
I can't get my room to look actually the same but it helps to have a reference.
It's too much thinking too far ahead as i can feel myself just sitting here dreaming of the room and it all seems far away from now. I always thought looking ahead was a good thing to do as it would give me the drive to get up and get on with it. But to my surprise, it is the opposite. Without writing this blog i don't think i would have picked up on that.
My plan today is to sort some bits from the storage room and put some bits in the loft.
I need to make space in the storage room to hold my packed bits im keeping that will go back around the house as they belong there. I've decided i will decorate the house once i have it very minimal and im the storage room doesn't need decorating.
I sorted out some boxes organising whats inside and got a few more things for the loft.
Having a little break now for tea then i get some more stuff ready for the loft.
So far it doesn't look like I've done much. I still have clutter everywhere.
My little cabinet i call the office is now all boxed up and old un needed letters have been trashed.
Boxed and labelled.
Pens, paper, envelopes and the small filing case has todays paperwork such as car documents.
I probably never use the envelopes but it is packed and labelled.
It took a few hours and now the cabinet is free to move once i have cleared the top and packed the computer up.
The stuff on top need to go somewhere.
