Rock Bottom

I can't tell you how bad the house is. I am completely overwhelmed. I need to get the house emptied for a rewire. I also have some seriously important professional opportunities going on so I should be concentrating on them - but I need to clean the house!

I need to somehow juggle everything, and I am failing badly. So I'm making a post on here, and I plan to come back every day to just jot down anything I've done to get the house better.

Marie Kondo and Fly Lady haven't really worked for me in the past, but I think if I'm holding myself to account on here then at least I'll get something done.

I'm not a regular on here, but I hope it's okay to do this. I'm just desperate to try and make myself accountable. So I'm sort of happy to be ignored.

@SavoyCabbage - that's really helpful.

It's really hard to throw something out that could have value to someone else. I mean, like several hundred grams of yarn, enough to make a sweater. I'd rather they went to a charity shop. I may just have to deal with it.

I'm roughly working on - how hard would it be to replace this? If it wouldn't be hard, I think it can go.

Yesterday was a fail. Son is poorly. He's got a consultant appointment for next Monday, which may or may not be linked to how he is today, but I could make an argument for it starting real flu. I managed to get some work done on the career opportunity and that was about it.

I'm going to see how he is and try and get to the tip. As I am completely shattered, I may try and crack on with stuff like the ironing, and get the decent stuff bagged up for the charity shop.
