Week 4 review / plan for week 5
Plan for week 4:
* meet with the gardener
* back to the hours-of-power in the living room: if possible Tue, Wed & Thu
Actual outcome:
Gardener: we met, we've agreed a plan, he'll start work in a few weeks. Yay.
I managed one hour-of-power, on Thursday.
* I emptied the last box of mystery papers, hurrah. It went to: the filing cabinet, my to-read pile, the paper recyling, and a small pile of books set aside to review.
* I then consolidated various piles of DVDs from all the shelving units, added ones that have been watched that we definitely want to keep into our folder system (resulting in packaging going into the to bin / recycling), discovered some duplicates (oops) and added them to the charity bag, and set aside some for review.
The books/DVDs I'd set aside all belonged to the children, so I got them to make the final decision whether to keep or give away each one. (Some decisions were instant, some required attempting to read / watch as appropriate and then decide).
Result: one small bag of things for the charity shop, which I haven't yet taken, and one emptied box into which I have stashed a couple of surplus cushions.
The issue with this room remains the same: I need to go through every shelf on four units and filter out only the stuff we actually want to keep, and then hopefully we will have enough space to see how to rearrange it more sensibly. I just ... don't really want to do it, but slogging away has worked so far, I should keep it up.
Plan for week 5:
Hour-of-powers: Sun x2 (if possible), Tue & Thu.
