I know what all this is about, I know exactly.
Last year, I have weight, which was very much needed. And the big jobs usually de-prioritise the small ones. Like. "I know this needs done, but I need to concentrate on the big one first!" My "big one" has always been my body, and now that this is sorted I can turn to the next biggest one which is our home.
The same is however true with the cleaning itself. As you do the obvious things (de-cluttering) you discover more.
Yesterday, I cleaned the bedroom top to bottom, and once again, I noticed the stained carpet and the old, unmodern furniture, which I was aware of but never really bothered about much as the attention was usually on the clutter. Once you deal with that however, you uncover the hidden truths underneath.
Today, I did the bathroom. I replaced the carpet (pink for cream), clock on the wall (white for merchandise) and also discarded the cheap plastic accessories which I once thought funky. The shelf also needs taken down as it is rusty. I now note that the wallpaper, ceiling and guard for the bath tub are all stained. They have to be replaced, too.
Sad is, as you do the things which are for free (tidying up and cleaning) you uncover jobs which require parting with money...
