I am sitting in a total shambles-it will be worth it won't it??

After living in a tip for ages am finally getting round to doing something about it! Have taken loads of storage boxes full of crap out of my hall cupboard and they are now all up and down the hall waiting to get sorted. Am working on if I don't use it and don't love it, it goes! Have paid DD 10p for every soft toy she agrees to get rid of - she's earned a pound so far Smile
BUT she is now in bed, I am stranded on the couch surrounded by muddle, my coat hooks have fallen off the wall and all the coats are lying on the floor in the hall, can't get to the front door for crap from the boxes from the cupboard, there's not a clean dish in the kitchen, I've had no dinner yet, MN is calling and QI is coming on the telly soon. Can't go to bed until it is clear of all stuff I've dumped on it so might end up sleeping on the couch if it wasn't for the extended bear family lined up right along the length of it who emerged as we were searching for toys to go! Help!! What should I do first!! Confused (After clearing stuff away from the front door I guess, in case we need an escape route for any reaon)

Probably a it late now ...
But

  1. Yes it will be TOTALLY worth it
  1. Next time follow the tip from FLylady and never take out more than you can out away in 20 minutes

I would start clearing the kitchen as it will give you places to put things, then the bed,

Then grab a few boxes and /or bin bags then pick A box and work through so you either put it

away
in recycling
in regular rubbish
in a charity shop/ Freecycle/ Freegle bag

Then repeat!

Hope you got some summer and sleep!
