De-cluttering and organising
Well folks, I'm due another de-clutter or rather re-organisation of the clutter I have. To figure out what I have to do however, I've gotta give the house a good going over. I remember stumbling across a book in the Library in Irishtown (waiting to do an audition) and it was an entire book on how to clean your house and when. Very useful, full of homemade cleaning solutions and all that jazz. Basicly it was a "how to keep and manage a home" book. I've been mooching about online and in library's to see if I come across it but vain alas... I can't find it anywhere.
Seriously, I don't want my house to end up looking like this!!! I'd be mortified if I had to call Kim & Aggie!!
Anyway, I did come across some great tips and put them together to give you an idea of what needs doing.
Now if only I could follow my own advise....
