I have recently subscribed to a House and Home magazine that's been filled with tips for Spring Cleaning. As a result, I've started rearranging things in my place, in the quest for a New Me through a New, Organised Home for this Spring.

What I've achieved so far:

- Arranged all my books by colour of the spine in a rainbow. I had to throw out all the books with covers that didn't fall into the ROYGBIV categories, particularly the pink and brown ones because they offended me.

- Arranged my spices in order of increasing particle sizes. So I have garlic powder down one end, and garlic granules down the other. It's extremely satisfying.

- Decanted all of my shampoo and conditioner into separate bottles, because apparently this makes them ~classier~. All this has achieved has me being unable to tell them apart, so sometimes I end up with super smooth hair in the morning instead of clean hair because it's bad to follow up conditioner with shampoo.

- Turned my shoes upside down for better storage.

- Stacked items sideways in the pantry instead of vertically. I like to think about the compaction of my food items over time as I pull out the packet of pasta from the bottom of the pile. However, this has saved significant space and now I have space for my daily collection of jagabee.

I have at least 10 more things I want to tackle, I'm feeling so refreshed and organised. Highly recommend. A+

At least he cleans, by the sound of it. I saw this show tho, Hoarders, and I can't imagine how anything can be clean in this kind of mess.

That just needs to be burned.

What about all the precious things hidden in there? Important photos, money... life forms.

If they cared about that stuff, it wouldn't be lost in that mess.

There has to be more to it than just being messy, like something wrong in life for things to get that bad.

That's likely true, but most people in those situations either don't want to be helped or are too far gone to be helped. It's rare to find someone willing to dig themselves out of the mess they made of their life.

I can't imagine how someone can think 'i'm gonna leave this box for stuff on top of that pile of clothes' and not realise the mess. But, even the ones who don't want to be helped must be helped. Deep inside everyone wants love of some kind from someone.

I think I've had too much ice cream, I'm feeling mushy.
