Messy places

Like many other people I read a lot of blogs, and one that I read frequently is http://paidinchickens.blogspot.co.uk/.

The latest post has the brilliant idea of clearing a messy space each day.  A simple idea, methinks, for a simple soul like me to take on board.  Julee, who has that blog, has been tackling the challenge with a huge amount of energy (and she's revealed the reason for the world gravy shortage) but I know my limitations and the daily space may be as small as one drawer or a single shelf, but by the end of January I should be making some sort of impression on the mess.

I've already got my eye on a few places which need more than a little bit of attention but I shall intersperse those "challenging" places with a few easier spots.  I do like that word "challenging".  There are many other words which could be used but that one is polite.

  1. I think I am going to have to check out this blog! Sounds like a sensible approach to cleaning and tidying but.........there are so many places!

    1. Ah, but that's the point! I live in one big messy place made up of a zillion smaller messy places but if I do one small space each weekday I will have twenty small ex-messy places each month. That's the theory anyway! It's the difference between changing one's eating habits and going on a crash diet.

    1. I've managed one drawer today. It took me a couple of hours and I've also been out for lunch and a board game session. However, it means that my house now contains one less messy place. I shall do a post later this evening. I'll also look at your blog!
