This reminds me of that old game show, what was it called?
I think it was What's my Line? LOL

I need to do some of the same here. My closets are in bad shape. But mostly I need to get my things organized and get on a schedule and then stick to it!

What's your secret Meredith? I don't think I could stand to clean nonstop for 3 weeks straight. You are an inspiration!

Chick, I think the best place to start is by finding a place for everything and then putting everything in its place but I've never been able to accomplish this yet.

Chick, I just remembered about the fly lady.
Flylady.com I think. I used to get her emails. Anyone still do this? She gives you jobs to do, and has tips for eliminating Chaos (Can't have anyone over syndrome) Maybe she can help us get started.

I cleared out my wardrobes and shoes...edited out unworn items.Somewhere as new so someone will benefit at the charity shop.I believe I stored items during a spell of reative depression.I see as I declutter I was in a state and I am so happy I have moved on.
I love the space I have created...and intend to keep on top of things...

Meredith, that's a lot of work. You go girl.

I go through my daughter's room twice a year and clean out the clutter and outgrown clothes and give her room a thorough cleaning. Today is the day we're going to do that. UGH! It's no fun. There's the whining and stomping of feet and that's just me. It's always nice when were finished though.

Ugh, just finished cleaning off my desk and putting books somewhere else. The Cox guy is due any time now to install my High Speed Internet, I am so excited. I will also be getting new phone service from Cox as well. I figure, in for a inch, in for a mile.

Hello, my name is Anno (aka Grannie Annie) and I am a TOSSER! I sometimes throw away or give away too much. I have been known to look all over for something and it is gone. Must have given it away!

I didn't even make a stab at it. I took one look, turned on my heels and closed the door. I'm weak.

Hello. My name is Hannelore, and I'm a mountain builder.

If you look down, from about two miles above my desk, you will see a beautiful snow-capped mountain range. Somewhere in between you may spot a tiny bleached blond head, hunched over a keyboard, typing madly away.

But wait! Are those eyes playing tricks on you?

Zoom in and those beautiful mountains slowly transform to stacks of paper growing by the minute. They threat to topple over and bury the mad typing woman under them! She need helps! Dire help! Never mind the organizer, call the mountain patrol!!!!!!
