I think I have turned a corner

I think I have turned a corner

I have been very busy recently. I have been working on cleaning the flat but not making much progress until one day I saw that there had been at least a mouse in the kitchen.

I then decided that I had to spend the whole day cleaning the kitchen. I did really well and cleared the junk off the floor and washed the floor. It felt great not to have clutter there. I let myself recover from the mass cleaning and then I wor3eked on the sides. While I was cleaning them I actually saw a mouse. I managed to catch it and release it.

I really like seeing the kitchen clean and I know that as it is the kitchen I have to keep it clean. I am determined that it should not get in such a bad state again so I am going to set a system up so that I keep on top of things.

I think the turning point came yesterday when I was cleaning the kitchen. I cleaned the other day and normally I just leave it to get really dirty again before cleaning it but yesterday I cleaned a fresh spill from it. I was so pleased as I really have enjoyed seeing the kitchen nice and clean. I really, really hope that it never get into the horrible mess that it was again.

I have also started decorating the living room. Devil Boy has said that he will do it for ages but done nothing about it, so I decided that I would do it. I have only been doing bits at a time but I will get there. I have done two walls and once I have caught up with the cleaning I will do the wall behind the computers.

I have managed to clear the junk out of the twin’s room after my youngest son managed to climb out of his cot and make a big mess. I now have to sort through my records and sell them online. I have also cleaned the wall after one of my friends called around. I was showing her the damp and by showing her I then realised how bad the damp had got. Thankfully now will be in mostly dry weather we will be all right for now but I have to treat the walls as it is not good for them to sleep in a damp room.

It is really funky as all of the work that i have been doing has affected the atmosphere. It does seem to be improving. I think that is as a result with my change in attitude.
