How do you become tidy?

[MissCommando]

I keep the house clean - washing floors, polishing and the like but I'm sat down now and there is clutter all over the table. I just can't be tidy. How do you do it? Are you naturally tidy? Can you not relax until you have tidied? Do you set yourself tasks i.e I'll do x, y and z before I sit down?

Please share your secrets!

I have no idea

I cant relax until everything is tidy. I have clutter, but its clean, it might not be 100% immaculate, but its tidy clutter lol.

a place for everything and everything in it's place, the best place often being the bin

imagine if men didn't have sheds, a few bits scattered on the table would be the least of our worries.........

Boxes, pretty little boxes to hide away some of the clutter, that and a family well trained to put their stuff away - still working on that part!
Don't know if I am naturally tidy but clutter really does my head in, I must have order and neatness around me (queenofmean take note!!)

Like what ?
The energy you used to start this thread could have gone into tidying the table......

I need a bit of clutter. If it's not on the table it would be in my head.... Does that make sense? Lol! It's always an organised clutter though :)

[queenofmean]

Mami, you are a bit of a hoarder....as am I. But the boxes are good. I only feel tidy when all my clothes are in the proper places - mum make me deal with that sometime over the weekend please :)

A nurse came to tidy my table and space and said Christ its wonder you haven't got rats.

[nungate]

queenie, sweetie, mummy has a list, a lovely little list (of chores - such fun!!)

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I'm almost OCD tidy at work but a right clutterbug at home.

[queenofmean]

i avoid your 'lists' like the plague....except the Xmas one lol

[EvianBaby]

I just tidy up as I go along. I can't relax in a messy room. I'm very house proud now I don't have anyone around to mess it all up.

[shoota]

What is 'tidy'?
Explanation please......

[Barmaid]

You invite people for dinner.

Since 5pm I have been cooking, shopping, cleaning and I don't see it coming to a halt anytime soon.

Get rid of your husband, house becomes amazingly tidy.......

[China Doll]

I'm not tidy and can relax perfectly well in mess... although not clutter or dirt if that makes sense. My other half is way better than me and keeps me on track which is good. If I lived alone, I know I would hire a cleaner. I'd have to.

[craft1948]

I'm tidy by nature but detest cleaning. As soon as something is used it's tidied away but the rest is left to the cleaner.

[giveup]

I've been trying for more years than I care to remember.
