I have decided to gradually clear the spare bed during the next week or so. Believe it or not, I have already spent 2 days on it. It looks like...
Slowtidy
You have heard of the slow movement - slow food... well, this is about tidying a house ... slowly.

Pile of papers in the passage
The pile of papers in the passage has now been filed.
I am not sure what to do next. To store things in the kitchen the way I would like, the kitchen needs some alterations. So do I continue (with things not stored well, and so always being a bit of a mess), or do I start sometning else. Everything else seems to be a big task. I am feeling overwhelmed.
I took some stuff to the Op shop, so there is less in the house.

The study is done!!!
The study is done.
The last pile has been filed.
When I have finished piles, there are still a few odd things that need tidying away - these are all gone.
My first room is done within 8 weeks!!!!!!

All the Piano
The last pile has disappeared from the piano - Slow Tidied into all the right places.
Now there are only three piles left in the study, plus some items that need a home. I am not sure where to put my stationery (which has been accumulating into a pile as I have tidied the study), the items that are too big for the filing cabinet (another pile), and the pictures that have not been hung (which may end up in the pile things to be disposed of).
It is now time to contemplate what I will do with this room.

All the study floor
I have completed the remainder of the study floor, so the study is just about there!!!
Getting things out of the house...
There is a problem of getting things out of the house - it is all very well to say that they are not going to be used, but actually removing them is also a problem. The lady next door has a new shed, just for the items she does not want. To me, total removal is required.
I guess this should count in the completion of a room, but it is easier to get rid of things if you just trash them, rather than finding alternate homes for them. Sometimes, finding alternate homes means accumulating the lot for the Op Shop people to collect in one collection.
So, what alternative homes are there?

So, what alternative homes are there?
- Op shop
- Give away (as presents or as give aways)
- Ebay and similar
- Leaving on the nature strip with a sign (free to a good home)
- Accumulating the lot and having a garage sale
- Women's refuge or similar
