Over the weekend when my part time cleaner was here… i took the opportunity to dump the shoe rack left by previous owner and my sunflower n chilli flower pots tat ex helper planted as it was infested with white flies… scrub my corridor etc… i feel great now tat the doorway is not as clustered as before…

Clearing stuffs away requires not just physical energy; it requires mental energy too. I am also clearing away stuffs in my home right now. Happy decluttering to all who are clearing their stuffs!

Took out 2 big bags. Cleared cupboards in son’s room. Changed curtain. Too tired to vacuum floor. Still have hall and 2 rooms. It sure feels good to see the room tidied.

Ya boi! It sure requires mental energy, but even more mental energy is needed when you revamp/restructure something. Eg changing storage arrangemnt. Recently did up my kid's book and play area. :slapshead: big headache. Bought all the shelves and did up myself. Then need to think what to put where etc. Took me a lot of time. Now, almost done. :please:

Cleared out two big bags of clothes two weeks ago. Then sorted out a bag of books and toys to be given away. Haven't started on cleaning up.... I think of the windows, I :faint:

You are really hardworking :salute: ...after I have changed and washed the curtains, I think I am quite done.

Since having a kid, the 6 weeks prior to cny is always a nightmare for me. On top of working full time, caring for the kid and regular household chores, still have dozens of things to do - buy cny decor, new plants, outstanding repair work, special/adhoc household chores (eg repainting or new wallpaper if needed? Wipe the lamp shades, decluttering, clear store etc). Cleaning the windows… Can die… But wait, cannot die - who’s going to do all these if I die?

I need to buy rice, sugar, eggs...forget bout CNY decor, have to put up and take down again. Then buy more chicken and pork to freeze or else no food to eat during the first week...though supermarkets are open, there isn't anything to sell. Clean windows? No way. Oh yes, wash new clothes and bed sheet.

It can at least lessen the burden, similar to your washing machine, dryer etc.
