So, yesterday Fraser and I tackled the Huge Mountain Of Chaos in the bedroom. There used to be a couple of things there, but our cleaner tidies things into piles. Specifically, ONTO piles – so it just got bigger and bigger and bigger.

It is now no longer.

There are four garbage bags of clothes in my parents’ car (which I have borrowed), waiting for me to drop them off for charity. 

Fraser took 3 loads of papers to the paper mill yesterday.

The bins are full and there are bags of rubbish stacked outside (not a great welcome for our exchange student who arrives today).

And at 11ish last night, we had to go clean up our room to put away all the stuff we had tidied and sorted … and then left on the bed for later.

Ooops.
