Discovered a very motivating way of getting the house thoroughly Spring Cleaned. Invited an estate agent to come and value our tiny house. (We're not moving, but we wanted to know its worth.) That was a week ago and my word, we've had a real blitz! Husband went up the Municipal 'tip' with tons of stuff, both recyclable and non. (They have a little shop up there to sell your good stuff for charity) His car was loaded. Delved into all our drawers, cupboards, the attic, the greenhouse, the garage and it's amazing what you store and do NOT need. Then I got busy with hoovering, dusting, mopping, washing curtains, cushion covers; even cleaned the cooker. The cats were disgusted, they hate upheavals. Finally the house was unrecognisably smart. I'm usually clean and tidy, but this was something else. Lady came, and would you believe it, our house has gone up in value by £13,000!! Obviously not just because it's clean; house prices have really taken off. But we were so pleased. Hah! Feel real satisfaction - job done!
