Do any of you do this? I have started in my laundry room and have 2 big bags of stuff for the Salvation Army. I went through all my winter stuff and said keep or throw. I then took the keep stuff and put it in a plastic tote up on a shelf and what wouldn't fit in the tote went into one of those huge ziplock bags. I want to get another tote to put all my bedding in it and then a milk crate to put my craft supplies in so all I have to do is grab the crate and drag it out when I want to create. Hopefully will be done with that room tomorrow. I started today and I still have laundry that needs to be done and either put away or given away.

I am going to go one room at a time and purge. I think my house is getting too cluttered again I keep thinking someone from Oprah is going to show up doing a show on hoarding so I'm trying to keep my hoarding at a minimum. Heaven knows I don't need anything else added to my list of crap. I do understand though that hoarding is part of my OCD.

So any of you spring cleaning?

I am trying to slowly spring clean, my children think it's fun to undo anything I have just done so it's really slow going. This week has been really nice out so I have spent a lot of time outside with the kids so my spring cleaning project is kinda on hold, there's always next week.

<font color="purple"> Every morning when I wake up I think about starting my spring cleaning but can't get motivated enough to do it. I have way too much stuff in my house and need to get rid of part of it but don't want to.

I have too much stuff in my computer room but don't know where else to put it and don't want to get rid of it.

My husband saves tons of stuff.....mail, newspaper clippings, etc., etc.. He has 4 filing cabinets full of stuff in his den and 3 mini barns all packed full. He has around 10 filing cabinets in them too. He labels all of his files and they're all neat and orderly. He writes the year on each of them, then files everything for that particular year. He said he's going to throw a bunch of stuff away but will have to see it before I believe it.

Anyone else on here have a husband that hates to throw anything away?

Once I start my spring cleaning I'll do the closet's first.........all packed full of course. I'm sure I'll find something in them that I forgot I had.

Fun! Fun!

I meant to start spring cleaning today but slept in until 1 pm instead! I'll try to force myself to get started on it tomorrow.

Well the laundry room is almost done. I finished washing my laundry today and have some that still needs to be hung up. I even ironed WOW! Tomorrow afternoon I will fold the laundry and then start in on my living room/kitchen. Its one room so it shouldn't be too bad. I have my quilt in the dryer that will go over the back of one of the couches so that Tyger can lay on it. Its his favorite blanket.

Next weekend I'll have to do my bedroom and my bathroom.

HUD inspection is on the 12th so need to get it done before then.
