Came home from work and the place looks like a tip . I try and keep house clean and tidy but there is just so much stuff everywhere. Cannot wait for kids to go back to school and college and I come home to tidy house after work as I get in first . Mind you I first have to get it in order . I am sorting stuff which is in my dining room since my dad died and there is just loads to get rid off. My daughter minds kids during holidays and there is toys everywhere .
I feel like getting in car and running away .
Probably all fueled by my best best friend in the world has throat cancer and I feel absolutely useless while he battles it out and he not doing good .
So only really posting to get my head straight here and go tackle some of the clean up and tidy up . Kitchen and sitting room will be done before I sit down again and hopefully not be feeling sorry for myself

Sorry you feel like this Rose and sorry to hear about your friend it sounds like a tough time for you and I understand I absolutely hate coming home from work and the house is a mess (has caused a few rows!
Your daughter minds kids but you don't say if she is tidying up after herself. Tidy toys everywhere can be annoying but untidy toys is another matter. Sounds like you need people on board to help out, or at least the people making the mess.

Yes she not great at tidying after herself . Well got her to do it , tidy up all the stuff and put some for recycling and she disappeared then to walk the dog (and escape my mood I guess ) . I then whizzed about and place looks nice again . Think I’m just over emotional at moment and things getting to me . I have said that I want house kept as going forward .

I’m watching some decluttering youbtube videos so will try implementing them too
