Right... that's it...

...I am just beginning the attempt to get my study in order. Unfortunately I am far too proud to post a 'before' picture - you'll just have to make do with the chaotic bookshelves from a couple of posts ago - though I do like them looking slightly chaotic like that... so you might not notice the difference when I post the 'after' picture of that particular bit of the room!! Were I to post the before and after pictures of the rest of the room, you would certainly notice the difference (that's assuming I make it to 'after')! I am posting this information here in an attempt to feel accountable and motivated by the fact I've said before witnesses that this is what I'm doing. I fully intend to have the room all lovely, hunky and dorey again by the time I go to bed (which could well be in the early hours), with everything filed somewhere sensible (no, not everything in the bin), with a nice little prayer space accessible again and with my reading chair uncluttered so I can actually sit in it and read - not to mention the desks transformed back to their intended states from being paper mountains! Don't let me wander off... and please call the police if you see me anywhere near that Ship tonight. Thank you. I am just going to put the kettle on before I start... well, that's allowed - you can't expect me to do this with low caffeine levels now can you?

Update: Hmmm, well I didn't actually say 'before I go to bed tonight' did I? I've made good progress, but the photos aren't going to appear just yet! My mission wasn't helped by there being one of the very loud kind of discos the other side of the wall (my house is attached to our church hall). The sound-proofing works fine until you get an enthusiastic DJ... and my study is then one of the noisiest rooms in the house! I gave up after a while of the bass thud and listening to such disco favourites as 'Is this the way to Amarillo' and a load of 90's dance classics, and shut myself away in the lounge where I proceeded to fall asleep in front of the TV again!
Thank you all for your encouraging comments (haha Auntie Doris ;) ) the mission will be resumed tomorrow!
