From the Trenches ON-LINE CLUTTER BUDDIES HELP EACH OTHER Hello! I need someone to look after my work in the bedroom, because if I do it alone, I do it NOT :( My bedroom is full of trash, paper and clothes (dirty and clean), but I make my bed every Day! :) I have to clean all from the carpet, so that i can see this wonderful color (Deep Blue) again. Please Help me. THANKS Beate Beate, Would you like to be clutter buddies to check on each others’ progress in the bedrooms? Mine is terrible, too. I have a lot to do there. I am just worried mine will take longer than yours if we start to compare. I have clean laundry, baby stuff, papers from when I used to just take them all off my desk to hide them, etc. I feel so bad because I am sharing with my kids, and it is so messy. I finally am working on it though! A little bit each day. We could check in once a week or more, if you want to. Trudi Join a Messies Anonymous group that matches you!
