Ready To Clean

Janet · 12-29-2011, 06:53 PM

Wish someone would have given be a Christmas gift of cleaning or organization. I love doing both too. I just need to get up off this fat 'you know what' of mine and get busy. I don't have to go back to the bus route until Wednesday the 4th so I have time to get alot accomplished. We'll see...at least I can mark the attic off my list.

Hey Janet, I was looking for a picture of Brooke's wedding cake for Lindsey and I swept out the dust bunnies from under the bed after I pulled out all the picture boxes. I didn't move the bed though -does that count for spring cleaning?

I promise you though, if you hadn't started that READY TO CLEAN THREAD, I would NOT have done that.

You did good girl....

gja1000 · 12-29-2011, 07:26 PM

THANKS! I need the encouragement!

I hope Gary feels better, Gayle!

I got rid of all kinds of clutter before I moved, but after 4 yerars, I have to go through all of the drawers, closets, etc. and redo this. I started with the pantry, and still have stuff to go through. I sold a few things on eBay, and made quite a bit of money! I think I will go through my closet soon. I have another closet in the second bedroom, so I can keep some things for when I gain weight like you do Gayle. We have some great thrift shops around, so getting rid of clothing is not a problem.

The worst room to go through is the second bedroom, which is kind of a den/'office. I have a lot to sort through there, and am not looking forward to that!
I put a lot of pictures, papers, etc. in there when I moved in, and still haven't gone into that stuff.

I have learned not to give everything I don't want away, especially to Jessie. I have found myself being sorry I didn't hang onto a few things like pictures, a couple of pieces of furniture, etc. She won't give anything back either! I have begun putting them down in the basement. There is a good change they will get some mold on them, but mold can be cleaned off, usually!~

I have planned to work on this slowly now that winter is here.

Judy, I think that I would start on the hardest room first. For me....I find that sometimes, after awhile I get burnt out by the time I get to the last part and have to keep pushing myself. Get the harder one done first and the others will seem like a piece of cake.

I have a very hard time throwing things away. They have to be unrepairable and very damage.

Any tips for that

OK Janet, you are still inspiring me. I took all the "give-away" bags to Goodwill and then swept out the garage. It still needs more work, but that's all I could muster today. We have some cabinets sitting in the middle of floor that need to be hung, but we've got to hire a handy man to do that. Maybe after the first of the year. When we get those hung, the garage will look much much better!!!

Janet · 12-31-2011, 08:23 PM

Wow Gayle....you're doing great! If I was there, I would bring my level and help hang those cabinets.

JJJ · 12-31-2011, 10:06 PM

If I was their Gayle, I would just be looking at Janet in amazement.
