The big clean out

Ashe · #1 10-10-2002, 04:30 AM

Hello everyone. Have you ever cleaned your room or house or whatever and found cool stuff that you forgot you had. I was cleaning my room the other day and found some books that I had forgot that I owned and I also found some money. Where I work they were cleaning stuff out and they found some software and stuff that they thought they had lost.

At times yes...but I do not always, fine things. I guess I put everything where it belongs.....and yet I get told my room is a mess. Hey I get around just fine in there

Heh. I seem to always find money in my room when I clean out. My parents joke that I should let them clean and they can have the profits. Usually it's notes and once I found almost $100 all up. Just recently when cleaning out my cupboard I found a US $50 note which would be worth almost $100 Australian alone!

I recently have been doing a large clean out of my room and am getting rid of a lot of unwanted things. At last count there were 3 garbage bags, 1 medium sized box and a huge monitor box worth of unwanted things. And that's not including all of the old school books and things that I threw out! I tend to hoard things at times so a clean out was really in order!!!

I think I need to have a cleanout soon because I can't find places to put stuff. It is like I have all this stuff but now I am running out of room to put it someplace. I have my own drawing table with all my art supplys scattered about. I have all kinds of books and magazines that are lying underneath a shelf that I need to sort and organize. Mann and crumbled paper is only the beginning. My room is cleaned it just needs to organized and I can't do that until I find something to put this stuff in. I think I will go up to the store get myself a box or boxes and just redo my room.

I love having a tidy room, so I often find myself trying to tidy it. I don't recall ever really finding something I thought was lost or never knew I had, but it always surprises me how much i enjoy looking at all my early schoolwork and old artwork and poems and stuff.

Abe Babe, there are two things that concern me.

Your room must be absolutely huge.
People must confuse your room for a bank.

one time i cleaned my room and found out that i have a pet dog...........it was too late...........i also found a cd that i have been lookin for, for ever..............

I once found a 5 week old apple core...... and around it, I found my pet mealworms.

ZombieX · #10 10-10-2002, 09:03 PM

Oh, absolutely. When I look for something I never find it. When I look for something else I never find it, but I find the other thing. Weird, huh!

Yeah, much of my stuff was destroyed in a certain incident.

All my stuff from England is stuck at the dock now, the workers at Long Beach went on strike. Massive backlog.

*groans*

The coolest thing I ever found in my room was...well, nothing really.

I don't often clean my room, and when I do, I'm too frustrated to really appreciate anything I find.

My room isn't really all that messy, because I'm rarely in there...unless I'm sleeping, or a lady friend is visiting.

Neither happen very often, ha.

Wolfpac · #12 10-11-2002, 01:35 AM

I once found a half dead spider in my room. I'm not sure if it was half dead before I found it or if it was half dead because I was cleaning my room. Oh well.

When I moved house a year ago I found a whole lot of birthday cards dating back up to twelve years previous that I had never thrown out. I was always a hoarder so I had two huge drawers to clean out, not to mention various cupboards. All I can say is if you have a lot of crap, move house!

I don't understand the turm 'Clean out my room'. Hehe! My room is so messy, take you agazillion years to clean it out. Who likes cleaning???

Silversnow · #15 10-11-2002, 06:57 PM

I hate to clean out my room. It's so messy all the time. I mean, I have more important things to do like being online, sorting my socks in alphabetic order or do my homework...
Anyway, I once found an entire box of rings in my room. It was veeeeeery old. One of them was a rabbit

Embarassingly enough, I go through periods of 'everything needs to be clean'. During the holidays, for example, I took a toothbrush and some soapy water and cleaned my CPU.

ZombieX · #17 10-12-2002, 02:53 PM

Well Max, you're just like my step father. He's a stickler for tidiness.

***Wil*** · #18 10-12-2002, 04:56 PM

No, don't say that. I don't want to think of myself as being a generation older than you.

Miss Odd · #19 10-13-2002, 02:45 AM

Hehehehe!!! Today I was looking for my Basketball T-Shirt, and I was cleaning my room... Eek!

I found lots of dirty socks, clothes... a mouldy vegimite sandwhich and...lots of other stuff which I can't remember :P

Bye,

hehe.. I was just sorting out his laser discs... he has every one MGM ever released and many of Universal's. And more.

He has enough DVD's to watch 5 per day for a year and have some left over.

He has 8 umbrellas... in California.

He has 30 baseball caps.

Need I go on? Oh, I love his soul.
