This is just the thread I need!
I feel completely overwhelmed by every room in my house, and have found it really daunting knowing where to start. All of the clutter and lack of organisation is really affecting my mental health.
I made a list before I started my holiday, complete with DIY tasks, and assigned my Husband and I jobs to do. As always, I’m the only one in my home who tries to do anything to improve it, (my Husband just moans about it and expects it clean and tidy and organised within an hour of my hard work, and our children unleash chaos all around).
I find it super difficult to focus on one thing at a time, and struggle to finish anything and always want to move onto the next thing all the time before things are completed. As a result, I sanded half my stairs the other afternoon, but was too excited about the prospect of decorating my hallway, so spent the next couple of days researching paint schemes and fannying around in B&Q. I have bought the paint though! I also bought paint so that I can paint a couple of drawer units that belonged to my Nan that I’ll give to my girls.
Yesterday, I hung up most of the clothes in my girls’ room, and managed to throw out 2 bags for life full of rubbish, and prepare 1 bag of the same size for charity. It’s still a complete mess in there though.
We don’t have any built in storage in our house, which adds to the chaos, as the space isn’t used properly.
I need to finish my girls’ room, but really need to paint the units first so they can be filled, but it won’t stop bloody raining for long enough to enable this! So now I’m sitting around in the garden on the internet because I just can’t sit in my house any longer with all the mess.
