Another day and another mission for another Mr J! Mr J was in need of some help to clear out his home, as he had a lot clutter and due to his health conditions he was struggling to manage it himself. As I arrived to meet Mr J I was also met by one of his social workers, who explained that Mr J needed to make some space at home so that carers could come in to visit him safely. We got cracking straight away, starting with one of the sofas which has become a habitat for abandoned socks, jeans and plastic bags. The clothes were rehomed back to the bedroom, the rubbish bagged up and the papers sorted.

We managed to clear out two bin bags of rubbish, and two of recycling. Mr J was shreddy to go with a paper shredder to help safely get rid of some of the many letters and envelopes he had amassed which did not need keeping, and kept important documents in one neat pile.

Mr J was so grateful for the help, and the ability to sit back on his sofa once more. Although there is more to be done, it was a great start and sometimes all you need is a little help to get going.

On which note… don’t tell my boyfriend I was helping to declutter or he might want me to do it at home too!!
