The Home Organiser

Sometimes the scale of a task can be overwhelming - I'm here to help. Hi my name is Sue. I have always been one of those people who are naturally organised.
(1)

Most of my background is in people and project management and I now specialise in home and office decluttering and organising. I love the benefits of bringing order into a place. Naturally I use my organisation skills in my home and over the years have successfully helped friends and neighbours with areas of concern in their houses. When I realised that Decluttering and Organisation was a recognis

ed skill I was over the moon and jumped at the chance to start up my own small business. For years people have paid for help with cleaning, ironing, gardening - the tasks they don't like, or excel at. Now it's becoming more common for people to ask for help with decluttering and organising. There are many reasons for needing help:

* sometimes the task seems so big it's hard to know where to start and so you don't

* a child may have left home and their room could be used for another purpose (guest/hobby room)

* looking to sell your home and want it to look its best against competitors

*loss of a loved one and need support to go through their belongings

I'm based in Blackpool but available across the Lancashire and South Cumbria areas. I am sensitive to the embarrassment and worries caused by being overwhelmed with ‘stuff’. I am here to help, not to judge, and I get such huge satisfaction from seeing the difference I make to clients; leaving them relaxed and positive for the future, ready to enjoy their reclaimed space. My service is friendly, professional and totally confidential. If you don’t know where, or how, to start let me help you. Please take a look at my website and get in touch to take the first step.

I often arrive at a clients and get told "I bought these…."; [containers] - "what for?" I ask; "I thought they'd be useful" is the reply.

It's a common mistake to launch into buying storage to help you to get organised but as a Professional Organiser it would be last on my list.

The first step is always to sort through the area of concern and reduce the volume as much as possible.

Secondly, group like items together and consider whether they should live in a difference room/area.

Finally, consider whether the items would be more manageable if stored in a container. If they would you can see what size and shape the container should be. Rather than spending, and/or to check a container would work, look if you already have something that would work e.g. a shoe box to contain spices; a Ferrero Roche box for batteries/elastic bands/hair bobbles/lipsticks.

1. Declutter - reduce
2. Organise - group
3. Store - where, in what - size, with lid etc

This review was from a lovely lady downsizing into a retirement apartment. I helped her to reduce her furniture etc and then unpacked everything on moving day and made up her bed which she thought was an amazing help.

Collect together all of the mediation you have stored anywhere in the house – kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Bringing it into one place means it can be sorted in one session and gives a clear picture of exactly what you have.

1) Check through each product and discard any that are past the “use by” date. It’s recommended to check medication every 6 months - put a reminder in your phone or on the kitchen calendar.

2) Group the same medication together to see how much of each you have.

3) Do you still use all the medication – put aside any you no longer need and cancel it on any repeat prescriptions.

4) Do you need the quantity of each that you have – will it be used within its lifespan? If you have medication on repeat prescription consider reducing the amount prescribed, or the frequency, to save you storage and the NHS money.

5) Now you can see the volume you can consider the best storage for it i.e. what to keep it in and where to keep it e.g. box in kitchen cupboard or full shelf in a cabinet. It may be that you take some medication 1st thing in a morning and the bathroom cabinet is most convenient; if you take it with a meal the kitchen may make more sense. It has to work for you.

As medication should be kept in a cool, dark, dry place the bathroom is not a recommended location unless it will be used quickly before the heat and moisture can affect it. I just have a basic First Aid kit so I keep mine in a pretty shoebox in a kitchen cupboard. You can use plastic containers or there are lots of tins etc. available.

Always remember to keep medication out of the reach of children and check “use by” dates before opening a new bottle or packet of medication at any time.

Return any unused medication to your local pharmacy for safe disposal. It isn’t safe to throw them in the bin as children or animals could come across them and eat them; and it is harmful to the environment to flush them down the toilet.

I never know what the next client's request will be. A while ago I was asked if I could help to unpack for a family move - of course!

It turned out to be a move for a family of 5 with 4 dogs, from a 5 bed to a 7 bed property which also happened to be a Grade 1 Listed Building near Stoke-on-Trent. How exciting and how beautiful.

I spent 2 very long but happy days unpacking the bedrooms for 2 girls and a boy and then boxes of toys and games for the Playroom; I unpacked the dining room and then odd boxes in a variety of rooms (occasionally getting lost!). All of the boxes I emptied I flattened and piled by the main door for collection; this kept the main rooms free of packing clutter and ready to be enjoyed.

It was a great experience (although I'm not missing the 4 flights of stairs!) but it occurred to me on the drive home that my sense of achievement and enjoyment in seeing a home unfurl from the mountain of boxes was just the same as when I help a client move from their family home into a retirement apartment. I just love being at the start of that next chapter and doing the best I can to make the transition as easy as possible.

If it doesn't make you feel FABULOUS:

* don't buy it
* don't wear it
* don't do it
* don't eat it
* don't keep it

Wanting an innovative idea for Mother's Day? 🥰

Has your mum boxes of family photos in need of organisation? You could plan a day to start helping her to sort the photos - it can be fun to have a trip down memory lane.

As an alternative you could book her a session with me to set the ball rolling. I can help her to w**d out all the ones that are blurred, duplicates, of unknown people and places; decide which ones should be passed to family members; note the reverse with useful names, dates, locations and sort them into categories in boxes or albums.

I can arrange for them to be made into photobooks or scanned onto a pen drive or CD. Set the ball rolling by getting in touch today: [email protected]

How can a Move Manager help?

As a move manager I do as little or a much as a client needs - sometimes it's help to unpack and get the new home organised as quickly as possible; other times it's overseeing the whole move to ensure nothing is missed and everything goes as smoothly as possible.

My role often includes:
* an inventory of furniture - to move, to dispose of (family/auction/charity/clearance);
* sense check there's not too much being taken to the new property if downsizing;
* floorplan furniture in the new home layout - useful for move day;
* obtain quotes - removals, auction, clearance;
* help clients sort the contents of drawers/cupboards to remove items no longer needed;
* take items to charity or arrange collection;
* sort wardrobe contents;
* source tradesmen - electrician, plumber, joiner, wardrobe fitters, interior designers, curtain makers;
* manage change of address notifications & utility changes;
* unpacking support to dispose of boxes asap and have the new home ready to enjoy
* making the bed & fitting a temporary blind in the bedroom if needed

These are the regular things I help with but nothing is out of the question; I've taken clients shopping for bedding/furniture and even been sent to Dunhelm with a list of basics when clients relocated from America (cutlery, bedding, hangers, kitchen bin.......) No two moves are the same.

I had a lovely client who had moved in to look after her mum before she passed away. As a result two homes were fitted into one and rooms were overfilled. Over time this had become overwhelming and she just didn’t know where to start.

We talked on the phone and then I visited to see what needed to be done. I came up with a plan and we agree to meet on a regular basis to move things forward. We’ve sorted through the rooms, including inside cupboards and drawers and made a huge difference – the spare bedroom can now be used for guests. In addition to the rooms we’ve sorted box files full of paper and reduced it down to a simple filing system so know anything can be found easily. We also reviewed her finances and she now has a clear picture of income and expenditure and how much is left for treats!

It’s been a pleasure to see the weight lifted from her as we’ve worked through each room removing items no longer needed and finding homes for those that are. Having someone working alongside you means it actually happens, and it’s more fun as we have many laughs over what we find.

Planning meals can help a household in several ways:

1. It can make it easier to share the meal preparation/cooking role as everyone can see what is planned for lunch/tea. First home can make a start.

2. It can reduce overspending by making shopping more focussed, as you can check what’s already in stock and only buy the missing ingredients. It has been proven that having a shopping list can help to reduce impulse buys.

3. It can reduce food waste as you only buy the food you need and can plan to use the whole of a packet etc over two meals.

4. It can help you to ensure your family have a varied diet of fish, meat, vegetables.

5. Consider batch cooking which saves time and money too. Making a recipe for 4-6 people and freezing the spare portions means that on some days you can simply remove a container from the freezer in the morning to have a home cooked, healthy meal at teatime. Cheaper and healthier than a take-away or convenience meal.

Create a simple chart Monday - Sunday for lunch/tea. I have a spreadsheet I'd be happy to email if required.

Each week plan your menu; it's also an easy way to plan how much meat/fish/vegetable variety you enjoy.

Have you tried on-line food shopping?

I started with it years ago when I was working full-time and looking after my Gran (doing her food shopping too). These days I still continue with it but 2-3 weekly rather than each week; and I do it because:

1) I feel it makes me think about what I'm buying more than I would dashing around the shops; I can think about what meals I want to make, refer to a recipe to see what I need and pop into the kitchen to see if I already have an ingredient. This means I have less food waste.

2) I can keep an eye on my budget: on the first pass through of My Favourites I can put whatever I fancy into my basket and then look at how much I've spent. If this is over my budget I have time to consider whether that's ok for this shop, or to remove items I really don't need, or that haven't yet run out and can wait until the next shop.

It takes time at first to search for the items you want to buy but with each shop it gets easier as you build a Favourites List. I feel that the delivery charge is outweighed by the time it saves me not having to go to the shop (time is money) and the inevitable treats I would see and buy which I didn't need.

Maybe this could be something to try and see if it helps with budgeting and reducing waste.

Another lovely review - Honestly, I am so lucky to do this for a living!

Everyone has at least one junk drawer - the one that all the bits you don't know where else to put them are discarded. Let's tackle it.

1. Book a time in your diary when you'll have an uninterrupted hour to dedicate to the task.

2. Protect worktop/table and pull out all of the drawer contents; wipe out the drawer.

3. Have a look through and pull out rubbish - anything you can see is damaged or you know you don't need to keep.

4. Group the remaining items together e.g. pens, screws, notepads, batteries etc.

5. Consider each group - is this drawer the best place to keep it? Should pens go into an office area? Should screws go into the garage? Before moving them check pens work and consider if you're likely to need that type of screw etc.

6. For the items you feel need to live in the drawer can they be secured together by elastic bands or containers? Consider recycling plastic tubs fruit and veg come in before buying anything. I use Ferrero Roche boxes to store batteries in. Depending on what you have in the drawer a cutlery tray or drawer dividers can make organisation easier. Have a look on Lakeland or Amazon websites for ideas.

Now your drawer should contain only useful things and it should be easy to see what's in there. It's no longer a Junk Drawer :)
