My DH has so much stuff. We live in a small flat which is full of his CDs and lp records plus other misc stuff. It makes it difficult for me to clean - everything seems to be covered in dust. And he never throws anything away - piles of paper, leaflets, old menus. Drawers full of old tee shirts or, even worse, yet more CDs. Wardrobe full of lp records so nowhere to hang clothes which lie around in bedroom getting dusty.
I feel stupid but I feel so much like sitting and crying about the effort it takes even to think about keeping things clean and tidy. Take this morning for instance - I collected up books to go back to library and leave them in neat pile on table. DH picks up pile, takes first book and walks into bedroom telling me what a good book it is. Leaves book on bed. Still with pile walks into kitchen saying how he's going to get cheap copy of book 2 for us to keep. Leaves book 2 on kitchen counter which I'm trying to wipe down etc etc.
DH makes lunch - salad. We can't eat at table because it's covered with a record deck, an amp, a very large CD player, a box of assorted wires, a pile of records and some assorted leaflets. I go into kitchen: bits of lettuce and spring onion all over kitchen floor.
I'm so tired, my back hurts and now I am starting to cry. I'm not a minimalist, I don't want a palace, I want a clean home where I can eat at a table and hang my clothes in a wardrobe. Advice needed to hep me get it.
