Wow your daughter's room is looking really good xx

[@katharinamontag1934]

Hello Emma, Greetings from Austria 😊 I was thinking....as your daughter isn't really playing anymore in the playroom and her bedroom gains more space....would it be an option to turn the playroom into a " Utility room", wgere you can dry, store and fold your laundry ( it has to go upstairs anyhow). So the " laundry clutter " is out of the groundfloor. If someone visits just shut that door😅. You can Park then all sorts of things there. But make it habit to tidy and clean that room, let's say, every second suturday of the month or whatever, you know what I mean. But then, you have contained a lot of stuff but gained a lot of space downstairs. But I don't suggest to take anything away from your daughter she still wants. You are making marvellous progress and keep up maintaing👍.

I didn't wait till I was 63 to be diagnosed I had mentioned something was wrong with me to several doctors over the years. I was dismissed as other things. A new doctor came to town and I got confirmation which was a relief because wondering your whole life what is wrong with you or your brain. I am on meds and they are helping.

73 books gone? Well done! I try to take books I can part with to the local library which holds book sales to raise money. Our local library has an on line presence where you can order books and a literal drive through where you can return and pick up books. I just love the convenience. Blessings from Texas!

[@gettingtidy2495]

@@paperplayground3495 yes 73 books can't believe it really!! Your library service sounds great, ours doesn't ever sell books maybe they should!

[@brookhowell8841]

​@@gettingtidy2495our library system in Missouri had an annual booksale over a weekend. They have a special compartment on their dumpsters where you could drop in books to sell or recycle. I miss the drive up for picking up books or returning them. But I especially miss the community feel set our library had. It reminded me of the show Cheers!

The kitchen and washing up every evening is paying off Emma! I had to 😂 at you trying to stack those Lego boxes and them sliding around 😂 could u place them in a clear plastic box with a lid (and do the same for all the other (unplayed with) items in that room,) stack them, push to the side, then hoover the floor to help with your daughters dust allergy? Then you could just sort and declutter each box at a time to cease making more mess… and not feel completely overwhelmed . Keep up the hard work 👊

Watching your video and hearing all of the comments, I'm itching to get out into our ad on to sort through all of my books. It's not heated beyond 50 degrees, so it gets quite cold to spend much time out there, along with all of the accumulation of things that belong to my husband that need to go out to the garage or the shed. However, I do want to get going on the books, so as soon as it warms up a bit (March? April? Who knows.) 😅 I do need to contact our local library and see if they are accepting books. I know it stopped during the Covid pandemic disaster, and I don't know if they've reinstated donations or not. The Epilepsy Foundation will only accept 1 box of books, and I have the potential of having several boxes if I am feeling as determined as I feel at the moment. I do think our thrift store accepts books, but not sure if they have a limit. I do have too many and need to make some tough decisions. I am so excited that you were able to reduce your number of books. 73 is substantial. Good on you. You are really doing so well with your decluttering and still maintaining the downstairs. It is great that your husband and daughter are lending a hand a bit more. You really don't have to do it all by yourself.

Hi Emma, I’ve recently been sharing some You Tube content with my husband. Now all of a sudden, he is make my the bed every day & rinsing his dirty dishes and putting them inside the dishwasher. Becoming tidier is catching. We went to our local AT&T store today to buy two new IPhone 15s plus accessories. It took quite a long time and was an expensive trip! We are pleased, though, with our purchases. 😃

I dont have many books anymore. I grew up watching Tom Baker as the Dr ,and one of the books I will never get rid of is about his years on Dr Who. I also love Jane Austen and have kept 3 of her books I inherited from my Grandma . Also Lord of the Rings and Dune. I also like Planet of the Apes and still prefer the first 3 Star Wars films. 🇦🇺♥️🙏

Hi new subscriber here! Really enjoyed you video that popped up, I find watching people decluttering and tidying very motivational! Thanks so much for sharing with us! PS...your lovely floor lamp in your living room, we have 2 of this style that need shades, where did your shade come from? We are struggling to find anything suitable, everything is too small, they need BIG shades! Thanks in anticipation. Greetings from a chilly but sunny Essex❤

[@brookhowell8841]

I am so glad you had a talk with your husband and daughter about your wishes for keeping things tidy and that they seem to be getting on board. 🎉 I sent you a video on IG of a woman who redid her fireplace herself. 😂 When Mrs. Kojak said that she was from West Virginia, did you start singing that song? 😲 I can do assessments to determine ADHD diagnosis. I have it as well. Listening to you talk about doctors prescribing medication and then more medication to treat a problem that occurred because of the medication definitely is a terrible problem in our healthcare system now. Doctors are not treated to look for the problem, just to throw medication at it. Sorry, this is the soap blocks issue for me.

Funny, you said you and your hubby had a conversation of what would you take in a Emergency, my Best Friend Jennifer and I at church were having the same conversation on Sunday. She asked me, what would I do and grab... I told her, I already have a to-go bag bc every Summer, we have a fire scare bc we are right at the foothills of the mountains. I said I would grab all our important paper, my Dad's Teddy Bear when he was a child, a change of clothes, our 2 doggies and medicine and a hygiene bag. That's it... thankfully my Hubby had all our pictures on Digital in the Cloud?! Tech tuff goes past my brain..ah ha haa... I have tried to get the kids to have their bags ready too. They do it every Summer and then unpack it...😮😂
