Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

To be honest, I think I've just been slack. I'm mentioned before that I still have stuff in bags and boxes on my loungeroom floor that have been there for the past 2 years since I moved in. The things don't have a place and home yet, so they are just dumped in the corner of the room.... @Till23 

@NatureLover @Dimity 

I need to get moving and set myself a timeline I guess.

When you come back @tyme 😊 

[Till23]

Oh that sounds really hard @Shaz51 I'm not surprised it's taking a while to get things done.

And to have a house burn down as well that's a LOT

As you say though, one day at a time, or as I would say one foot in front of the other, you just have to keep on keeping on through the hard parts to hopefully get to the good

Week of the 18th May (if all goes to plan) @Shaz51 

[Shaz51]

Sorry I mean decluttering when you come back home 😊

Make June a decluttering month with me @Till23 , @Dimity 

[Till23]

I'd love to do that @Shaz51 but I will be away overseas most of June doing sport stuff socially (not competitions but a bit endurance event) with other Aussies from my sport, but I really like the idea of having someone else to help with motivation. 

[Dimity]

I've only just sat down @Shaz51 @tyme @Till23 . I worked for a couple of hours then went on my usual walk, and cooked.

I can understand not unpacking @tyme . Some of your stuff might be surprises when you get to it. I have boxes dating back years

Reclaiming your space in your own home might be harder than clearing your father's house @Till23 for all sorts of reasons.  And that's OK. You need to give yourself time to process the feelings.

Your house has been in the family such a long time @Shaz51 it must be full of all sorts of stuff. Are you and Mr shaz planning to redecorate? Re-imagining the space might help you decide what to keep. 

I'm trying to restart my decluttering. I'm doing a little each day if I can. Unfortunately trawling through stuff is reminding me of past problems and failures.

[Dimity]

Yes @Shaz51 decluttering with you in June would be good. I'm off to a slow start this month and hopefully by June I'll be in my stride.

@NatureLover might consider tackling some boxes with us.

[Till23]

Sounds like a great plan @Shaz51 @Dimity @NatureLover 

I will join in when I am here and continue in July, being cooler it might be good for some heavier stuff

[NatureLover]

It's all I can do trying to keep up with the house @Dimity , I think boxes are beyond me. But tidying within the house, yes, I will try to be part of that in June. 

Well done on your 2 hours yesterday.

I achieved nothing yesterday but I had a lovely day. 

I'm sorry I missed page 500 of my thread; I'd been looking forward to that for a while. 

Am looking forward to work today. 

Hope you feel motivated today...
