Had a shed clear out yesterday. I know that sounds like a bit of a sad thing to do on a bank holiday monday but it's one of those jobs that is never top priority so never gets done and yet it is always a pain trying to use the shed when it's cluttered, dirty and disorganised, so today while the OH was (finally) finishing off a bit of paving, I tackled The Shed. Loads of stuff in there that I hadn't touched since moving here 4 years ago. Mice have made themselves at home, shredded all kinds of things to make bedding and left their mark in a very smelly way. Great to chuck out a lot of rubbish that should have gone long ago, and Freecycled other stuff that I can't use but seems to be just what someone else is dying to get hold of (strange). Found all kinds of things that I had forgotten I had but will be useful: fleece jackets for pot plants - wish I'd remembered about those last winter...
End result: so much space that I almost feel dizzy when I go in. It's the same shed from the outside, but open the door, and it's a completely different shed from the one I've been trying to get the mower out of /pot plants up in/ find my gardening gloves in. I love it. Funny how it wasn't a priority job but it was really worthwhile finally getting round to it, and instead of being a constant source of annoyance it will now be a pleasure to use. I wonder how many other aspects of my life could benefit from the same spring cleaning...
