Thinks I can do that, pull everything out the cupboard, get bored and leave it, for a week or 2 and then the whole process starts again.

I have lovely seagrass boxes and stuff, all on top of cupboards empty collecting dust.

Yep, it always seems a good idea at the time, the inspiration lasts about as long as the programme

I was inspired and now have a cleaning rota - when you look at what you have to 'clean or dust' it is minimal, it is the tidying that takes the most time.

Am in the middle of blitzing the kids playroom and off-loading all the toys.

You need to start small, just do one cupboard when you know you have time to do it.

The best thing to do is actually plan it out on paper first. Just put like with like.

Don't buy any storage stuff till you know what you have to put in them.

A self confessed Perfect Housewife addict (only to see that other peoples' homes were dirty whereas mine was just messy with toys)
