When we moved into our 3 bed house we decided me and DH would have 1 room, the boys would share the master bedroom, and the tiny box room would be an office... except that tiny office actually become "the dumping room" - didn't know where to put something, into the dumping room it went!

But now I am determined to sort it out!!! I started yesterday and managed to clear about 1/3. Today and tomorrow I hope to clear the other 2/3.

After this I also have to clear what was our dinning room table. It was last clear on Christmas day and hasn't been seen since :(

Oooo! Good luck. Bet you'll feel so much better about your house once it's done. Our dumping ground is the bottom of the lounge. Am very good at turning a blind eye.

3/4 of the office done, plus I tidied up the lounge.

Tomorrow I hope to completely finish the office, plus tidy up the kids bedroom :)

We have a whole room like that - not that tiny though! It is home to assorted shoes/boots including lots waiting for the children to grow into them, present stocks for children's parties, craft materials, cardboard boxes for various things, sports equipment, stuff waiting to be ebayed, bulk purchases from special offers that don't fit in the kitchen cupboards and lots of other random stuff and junk... Would love to clear it but realistically I need to sort out the rest of the house first then maybe we would have space to put things.

Teenage DC's bedrooms, though I might have to wait till they move out first!
