You're lucky to have a cleaning service, alsr: I have to do all the cleaning myself. It goes to show the benefit of having money!

But that's the way the world is, James: if you don't look like you deserve that desk, you're not going to get that desk.

I don't know about a cleaing service. I could really do with someone more into home management to help and advise on organisation. I suspect they would just throw their hands in the air and walk away from a lost cause. I have far too many interests and hobbies with attendant clutter

That sounds a little like me but I do manage to keep my "clutter" in check...

Chase your dreams. In high heels of course.

There will always be some clutter but I don't let it become out of control.

If my place is smaller and if I don't have to work 10 hours a day, I will clean my house too, Candy. You are lucky because you can clean your house the way you like.

Having to work does mean much less time available to clean. Still, you're lucky to have a full-time job: I wish I had a full-time job.

I also find time can run away from me sometimes: so I have to do the cleaning when I don't actually want to. Time governs everything, doesn't it? I am - however - fortunate to have the time to clean, whereas you don't.

I have just put on a load of laundry too: I do like doing so.

I find it stressful having things too organised. I like to drop time from the equation every now and then and relax a bit. I find it helpful.

But that is the way I am built and love being. Everything in its place and with little clutter.

If I'm off this next weekend I want to work some more on de-cluttering and getting rid of things I no longer need. Then I wanna rearrange things in the house and get stuff organized and clean as I go. The entire house needs done top to bottom. I'm ashamed of myself at how dirty I let the apt. get after mom died. I just lost all motivation to do anything at all. It needs to get done. Desperately.

I love the 'desperately' lol

Patients often say "I need my feet doing badly!"

I always want to reply, but haven't yet: "But I always do them badly!"
