Inspired visit to recycling centre

I mentioned before that Neil is a very tidy man, and that that is rubbing off on me. Together we cleaned my car and my kitchen extension. And I’m not messy for the sake of it; I just tend do have more important things to do than tidying and cleaning. And I find it difficult to throw things away. Maybe they could come in handy one day? But I do feel some background rumbles in my head about that several aspects of my house(hold) should be tidier and cleaner. 

Recently, thinking of Neil inspired me to do some long due tidying and cleaning in the living room. But last weekend I took a bigger step. I went to the recycling centre for the first time in years. Some of the things I got rid of were my old bread machine that had served me enough by now, and my old worn out foot pump, and a mirror Rose had left, and loads of old lightbulbs. I forgot to take a picture. 

It’s not Earth-shattering, but it might be one step in a greater shift towards a tidier house. I have also been thinking about things I can get rid of via other means: either the bin, or eBay. Would I manage to raise the general tidiness of my house on the longer timescale?
