Over the last few months due to being lax whilst she studied for exams Miss Sensible's bedroom has slowly disintegrated into a case severe enough for a life laundry programme.
BEFORE: She has been asked nicely, cajoled, nagged and ranted at to no avail. In the end drastic measures were required and she was informed in no uncertain manner that there would be no more driving lessons or horse riding until the tip was tackled. As the first day of half term, today was D-day.
AFTER (five hours):It might not look much of an improvement but 4 carrier bags of Horse magazines have made their way to the re-cycling, along with 1.5 large refuse sacks of sundry paper waste, and a bag of general rubbish. Plus 50+ books and 2 carrier bags of stuff have now been donated to the charity shop....
During this exercise Miss Sensible was transported into reminiscence mode with every item of previously forgotten gubbins she found. I admit I am prone to a bit of nostalgia from time to time myself, but she does not get her hoarding gene from her mother!
I was quite glad when her shift at Waitrose meant clearing could legitimately cease for the day. Worn out...and we still haven't braved beneath her bed!!!!
