can I change the 15 mins to 5 or even 2 casue I'm not doing anything cause I can't cope, there is nowhere to put anything the house is disorganised primarily, I have no idea where alot of my shit should live, I have a plastic box obsession that doesn't really solve storgae but I have tons
I can't do it

trinityrhino · 24/08/2006 18:46

i feel like I'm blinkered, I don't even SEE alot of the crap and stuff surrounding me, I just realised that I have been steppingover a pair of wellies and an empty crisp packet that have been left at the bottom of the stairs. I've been stepping over them for 2 days now, what the fuck is wrong with me, I should have just picked them up the first time and then wouldn't have had a little imp poking me in the back of the head going "YOUR SO SHIT" every time I stepped over them grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
sorry
I really shold stop pissing on this lovely thread

tortoise · 24/08/2006 18:46

tr I feel the same! I have no space to store anything and don't know where to put it all.
Don't think i have much more i can chuck out!

tortoise · 24/08/2006 18:50

I do things like that too.I did manage to clear the stairs the other morning and hoover them which does look so much better.
Found an old bottle of dd's milk! Probably been there 3-4 days!
I think we both need some help/advice.
I need storage solutions!!

trinityrhino · 24/08/2006 18:51

your not the only one with the old milk
wheres ruby when you need some help and who was it that laminated
I wish they lived near me

tortoise · 24/08/2006 18:54

I want those life laundry(or what ever it was called) to come in my house and chuck things that are really not worth keeping!
I have a massive box in the kitchen that the 3 wheeler came in yesterday.I have to squeeze past it to get to the loo!
Chuck it or store it in the loft? (if it will fit up there!) May come in handy for if i get to move from here!

trinityrhino · 24/08/2006 18:58

give it to the kids to make into a house and ecorate it an dstuff and then chuck after a week cause they'll be bored by then
you will have used it again and then got rid of it

tortoise · 24/08/2006 19:06

We did that once! Took it out side and painted it.Was stuck in the front room for about 2 months.They loved it and didn't want me to bin it!!!

I would have a small cupboard with a bit more room in if i get on and put stuff on ebay.6 of my 1st lot didn't sell! Some more ending tonight most of which have no bids!
So what do you do if it doesn't sell?
