]]> Over the coming weeks we are going to make your mess a distant memory.   Step one is creating your Mess Memories:

Take a picture of every room in your house – so you can kick back in the days, weeks, months and years to come and think – wow, what a mess – it was!

Top Tips:

  • Mobile phones are great for quick pics
  • Laptops with Webcams can also take photos
  • Camcorders are great too – for taking photos or take a video as you walk around the house!

Don’t tidy up before you do this – if you really want to make your life easier you need to love your mess – that means warts and all in full living colour in a picture!

Mess Spotting Tips: Here are some great ways of spotting mess – some of it is amazingly good at hiding right under our noses, so have a quick look at this list and see if you spot any more “messes” because of it!
