1. Move everything off the table to make it tidy. Wipe and clean table top.

2. Go through paperwork - shred or file.

3. Vaccum floor.

4. Lay table properly and have a vase of flowers somewhere.

Brexit stash?

ok, starrers, but where do I put the Piles of Mayhem?

I have a steamer, a multicooker, boxes of crap

I really need to marie condo this shiz

yes, lady p, the stash is water (because the chemicals to purify may run out) and toilet paper (because we only have a 24 hour supply in the UK at any given time)

and mini egs

grade A superpollen will be hard to come by post brexit.  clergs has 45 kilos and 28,000 rizlas under her ikea schnerkle table set.

*makes looting notes*

Take everything out of the room, clean the room, sort stuff and either bin or tidy away / return to space 

you need to do a mini version of consumed on Netflix

I have a lawnmower man in my garage fixing my ride on mower (I hope!)... I counted and realised I have 1440 tins of dog food and 480 tins of cat food.... given I own 3 dogs (21 tins a week), I don't consider this too excessive.  I've just been buying double the quantities I need for the last 6 months or so and storing the rest...I also have 1 tonne of pig food, 1/2 a tonne of lamb nuts, 1/2 a tonne of pony nuts and 200kg of chicken food....

It'll all get eaten come what may... stops me having to buy for ages...

sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a drug dealer

1 in 4 drug mules get caught tho

don't like them odds

Just throw a doily over everything.

heh

tempting

For me clive, I mainly start by removing the metric fookton of lego.

I have no lego but do have a tiresome quantity of jammaking jars

Have you ever made jam?

Also, from another thread.  How do you hang your clothes if you don’t have a wardrobe?

I have a friend who makes jam

I have a clothes rail thing

when you previously asked "what do you hang things from" I was going to reply "a gibbet" then thought better of it

??? I cook most meals from scratch I will have you know!
 

and I don't think I have had froze in about 2 years! sadface!

Approved cleansing method for rooms:

(1) Stand in room and look around.

(2) Put arms akimbo and declaim "This will not do!" in a voice of sternness. 

(3) Call cleaning agency.  

Clergs - I actually almost typed (not including men) in my original question tbf.  

HEH! dal you have summed my system up to a tee

except it's hard to get a good cleaning agency round here

shut the door. walk away.

this is ofc the correct approach overall

hm I think I can chuck out the printer at least

ok, starrers, but where do I put the Piles of Mayhem?

I have a steamer, a multicooker, boxes of crap

Do you use the steamer or multicooker? If you haven't used them in six months, you don't need them. Charity shop.

Go through the boxes of crap. How long since you opened them?! Keep what you want and dump the rest.

Sort items into boxes (bin, 'lives elsewhere', keep, to sort etc), music on and regular breaks!

Or sit in the middle of the room and wail loudly

am currently on stage 2

tidying SUCKS

Options:

1. Pick a thing up, put it somewhere, repeat

2. Pay somebody

3. Put it ALL in a cupboard

4. Put it all on the table THEN pick a thing up and repeat

Or!  you could take several votes on how to clean it

Why not just put them in the rooms to which they belong?

Why did kitchen stuff end up in the dining room?  If you haven't got enough cupboard space you need a clear out....
