I went through it 3 weeks ago and got it properly sorted so it wasn't too bad (despite what it looks like when you throw all her stuff into the middle of it). Katy - it certainly is easier when you don't have kids home. I've just had mine home for 3 days and the place looks like a tip. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. I totally understand the whole "feeling overwhelmed" thing. Maybe just pick 1 small task a day - something that will stay done longer than 5 minutes. One shelf of a cupboard or something. Break it right down. That's what helps me. River - excellent plan. I'll vote for you at the next election. :) B - yeah, she did. No idea where the cupboard is made - might even come from there for all I know. :) Sharon - Funnily enough, she seems better with other peoples stuff than she does her own. Every now and then she'll decide to sort out my desk for me (often to procrastinate on doing her own room though LOL - wonder where she gets that from????)

Hopefully if dd organised her room in a way that makes her happy she'll be inclined to keep it that way. Libby Looks like things are shaping up nicely and I’m so glad you found that missing week.

Every month should start on a Monday and end on a Sunday. There should be 5 weeks per month. One of which is sort, declutter, reorganise week. It's a hidden week that only Mums know about.

I must say, your daughter did a great job tidying her room. I remember being forced to tidy my room when I was younger and I hated it. And the kicker was that I had to clean my little sister's room too, since she was the youngest and therefore favourite! (Even though we're only about a year apart!)
