We cleaned last night for the furnace appointment tomorrow. It's so much nicer to have it done, the washed floors especially. If we cleaned for 10 minutes a day, would it not get so trashed?

Htoun, I have pantry problems too. I don't know how to solve them. I have 30 lbs of flour sitting in my dining room right now because I can't figure out where to put it in the pantry. One problem is my cookbook collection. I have three bookshelves in a 8x10 room. There's also the fridge, a five foot chrome shelf for baking dishes/food, cat boxes, and a large window. I keep my vacuum cleaner in there, a folding chair I use outside, a bucket for empty bottles (deposit), rubber boots for outside, and eight 5 gallon buckets for grain storage.

In an 8x 10 room... which I just cleaned and reorganized a few months ago. I am so bad at putting stuff away, I just cram it into any empty or sort of empty spot, and then wind up with a disaster area where I can't get to anything I want to use or put anything else away. Is it even possible to stop doing that????
