Thank you

what needs doing?

Random - picked this up somewhere yesterday.

Get plastic boxes of different colours and put under the stairs, then when you get "clutter" in the downstairs rooms you fill up the plastic boxes with the said clutter. Each persons clutter gets put in their own box and they get given said box when full to take to their room.

Decluttering really I think - need some systems putting into place. Ideas for storage, I have alot of areas that attract bits and bobs, toys mainy. I have tried fly lady but.........I don't know I just find it a bit controlling?

I would have a major chuck out of stuff first. Otherwise you will be buying nice baskets to keep crap in!

Now that's a great idea ivy, one of my main bug bears is that I seem to be the one putting everyones stuff away.

Well there you go - me randomly picking up this peice of info has actually come in handy

OK - how about clutter control rules - click on each one for a bit more info.
