it’s generally pretty tidy, and I can tidy it up in about 15 minutes when i really want to, but it generally just gets into a messy state in a few days. I will spend 10 minutes tidying it every day.

How I did it: I took out everything in my room! EVERYTHING! then I did some heavy duty scrubbing, vacuuming, dusting, soaking, and especially going through my old stuff and throwing it out. Well, actually, I've been giving it away or selling it. we had a yard sale which was pretty successful, but we were just relieved to get rid of some of my junk. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just decided that I was going to tidy it. It was very hot, it was a spur of the moment thing, and I probably should have done it later on in the evening when the sun was setting. Oh well.It's tidy (in my eyes), and this will probably be as clean as it will ever get. I realise now that while I'm crazy about everything else in the house being tidy, my room is my creative zone; my place for me to crazy. So what if it's a little messy?Anywa… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My room was recently painted my favorite color and I wanted my room to be special. I new that I was a messy person that never put anything where it's supposed to go, so I wondered how I'd do this.I started by tidying my room and seeing If I could keep it like this for 1 week... Of course, I failed.It was a complete pigsty by the end of the week :DSo I tried again.. and again.. and again until finally, the message sunk in.Now, my room has … Read how I did it…

I just tidied my room at home with some help from my mother, and finally sorted through all the paperwork I’d been hoarding :D
As for my room at uni, it’s the tidiest it will ever be as I haven’t moved into it yet.
I just need to find a way of keeping things this way. I don’t want to spend another year telling friends they can’t come over because my room’s too messy!

I want to keep my room tidy, My auntys tidyed down the side of my bed when I was on holiday which I am so grateful about, it was horrible spiderwebs and everything :/
I want a new 3 draw draw thing in my room – just a cheap ones from Ikea or somthing.

my partner and i live together and there fore share a bedroom. I have to see that leaving my stuff all over the room, is pretty selfish as this also makes Chad’s room messy.. if every day before i go to work i put away all the stuff i’ve had out to get ready and put away my clothes at the end of the day then this will maintain a tidy room. It ill also make the enviroment in which we sleep and make love in more comfortable and give a better atmosphere.

and I’m actually not too bothered. There is an aisle which I can walk down to get to all the main places. I’m glad I’m not worried about it. I’m sure I’ll get a surge of energy soon, under which I’ll be able to sort it out in no time… and possibly even enjoy it! Until then it’s cool. Really glad I’m not beating myself up about it and that I don’t feel like I’m failing to live up to an ideal. Not sure why. Maybe this is a healthier way of viewing mess: something that comes in waves and goes in waves. Let’s see if this sentiment continues….
I suck at this too!! I leave little bits of stuff around the house so my DH tries to help me out by put these things in little stacks on the floor of my room just inside the doorway. This just makes my room even worse! I go in there and get overwhelmed by the extra mess that has spontaneously appeared. I think I need more storage space – maybe my DH can be actually helpful and get/make cupboards and shelving for me. I know if i try to do it my self, instead of a lovely new shelf on the wall I will end up with another neat pile of wood and brackets and screws on the floor or the desk that will sit there for ever… I think I have a problem.
sorted through my stuff today.
okay, so it’s not really clean, but at least I’m digging into all the junk and trying to revive it from it’s stage of rubbish.
to get into a routine where i make it presentable every time i leave the house. it makes me happy when i come back to it, and also makes my mum happy :)
i also redecorated and got a double bed, whaay!
Fernweh is AWOL...
Hmmm, I had a bit of a low point on this goal. I think the jubilation was premature. My landlady at this new place comes to change the bedding every three weeks- which I have to say is a bit odd, the last time someone else changed my bedding I was a child. Anyway she was due to come on a certain date, she left a note for all the housemates in the hall but I only remembered once I was on the tube to work. A bit of a disaster. I sent a frantic text to my bf at home asking him to pick up any underwear and hide it, and to do my bed. I got home and found the underwear on a pile on the chair by the bed, barely covered. I cringed for about an hour after that incident.
Luckily the next day the landlady came again to deliver another blanket and it was much neater- so I partly redeemed myself.
