Midnight tidying!

So I've decided I'm completely sick of living in such a cluttered house and I'm going to do something about it! So while S is on night shifts this week his sister has kindly agreed to take the little one to her place in London for a couple of nights and I'm going to work through the night clearing out, tidying, cleaning and generally obliterating all this mess everywhere as I've had enough. I'm going to go through drawers, cupboards and cabinets too, the usual places we chuck stuff when we're 'tidying', I guess if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it properly! Got a feeling the local charity shops are going to be inundated with random stuff in the next couple of days!

First time I had a massive clearout, I made the mistake of leaving the bags on the property. He promptly rummaged and brought most of it back in. Next time I did it on bin day. Sorted

See that's what I need, someone with OCD to give me a hand, and possibly a slap when I start getting sentimental over stupid things, god I'm going to end up throwing away about 2 things knowing me!

See I'm fine with this rule myself, with S his weight yoyos constantly due to wether he is training for a fight or not so he has tons of clothes in rotation, drives me mad! And don't even get me started on the little ones toys, clothes, books etc everywhere! Arghhh I'm dreading it already!
