Whew! It's nearly all over.

DH and I finally got around to cleaning out the closet and getting rid of clothes that were too small. (We've both put on the season's pudge). We managed to fill three huge black bags of clothes, shoes and belts, bedsheets, towels.... you name it.... and donate it to the Red Cross to send it where it's needed. We've also managed to get rid of two black bags of stuff that's completely worn out and useless to anyone. I never knew we had so much junk in there!!

But once I got started, I kept on going and cleaned out under the bed - removed at least fourteen cat's worth of fur from under it
, and put all the suitcases in the basement. We have a cream carpet in the bedroom.... under the bed it was black.
Shows you how often we clean out under there huh?

I'm on top of the laundry again - finally - and the ironing is done. I'm determined we are going to start 2008 with a REALLY clean slate - so that we can move out of this apartment and away from those stinking noisy neighbours of ours - so tomorrow, I'm going to attack the livingroom.

Now comes the bit I want some advice for: How do I serve an eviction notice to the pygmies living under the sofa?

Hey when you're done you can come to my house.
I am afraid of my closet

Here's more motivation for you:

I completely emptied the spare bedroom closet and stripped off the old shelving. Then I ripped the popcorn ceiling out, patched the 500 holes in the walls, and painted the entire closet. Second coat of paint goes on in about an hour (it hadn't been painted since 1972 when the house was first built). I got a new shelving system from Home Depot that I install tomorrow. It's all cut to size and ready to go.

Nothing goes back into that closet that we don't use regularly.

Next: our bedroom closet.

Wow a crystal vase!? Lucky thing!! All I found were hairballs and a couple of copper coins!!
Sounds like we've all been busy - and woah... 500 holes!? Good grief!!

Almost makes me want to do more. Almost
