Please give me praise

I had 14 bags for life/boxes of unsorted stuff in my house. Now I have none. Please give me praise.

No more accidentally coming across condolence cards from over four years ago. No more tat (apart from the tat the kids actively curate in their own bedrooms).

Next and final step: sorting out the garage.

Well done, Tunnocks! I'm sure having some clutter was the least of your worries over the last years, so it's fabulous you are 'in a place' to tackle it now. Smile
Yes you are right. And working and homeschooling at once - you know, THAT - held things up a bit

Well done!

Ah you are all so kind. I think this is the most praise I’ve had in years. I will proactively ask for praise more often.

Doesn't Oprah or someone say ask for what you want/need?

And you did! So have some praise for that too Grin

More praise for you. I hang onto things then you think fukkit, when I'm gone it's gone and wouldn't matter to anyone else. It's just the matter of clearing it out. Which you've done!

Yes you are quite right!

Thank you. On to the garage next. It will be weirdly emotional in a way garages normally aren’t, because it was very much my DH’s domain. But I’m going to turn it into a great space for my creative kids Smile

Well, I think you are marvelous, OP. However, in order to ramp up further praise, I think before and after photos of the garage are necessary. I hope this will inspire you to complete what must be a very hard project as, if we see the changes, we can possibly be very impressed 😊

Haha you’re on! I’ll resurrect this thread after Easter holidays - best to keep this thread, as I want you all to have praise top of mind - and the process shall be duly documented.

I am much more excited by the new garage flooring I want to get and the new unit I want to buy than the sorting out, and I am not allowed either until it’s done. Sigh.

Bloody hell Tunnocks, you're a superstar. I've been lurking on your various threads for years, so pleased you've found the impetus to sort it our

Fairydustrust · 30/03/2021 22:26

Will save in my files and wait with baited breath Grin

B1rdflyinghigh · 30/03/2021 22:33

I'm just jealous! Well done.
