Most people probably have memories of being told to tidy up as a child, but I wonder how many of you thought of the best way to go about it? Well here are my suggestions for the best order to tidy a bedroom; although I admit it is a bit dated as it includes tidying tapes.
I love this entry because it says so much about me. I love a list, and obviously I’ve loved them for a very long time. I admit I do not did not have a reputation for being tidy so I suspect having developed this checklist I never used it.

I was just thinking the other day that I have had to do lists for as long as I can remember, certainly from being a pre-teen (not a word/concept at the time!), so you and I definitely have list-loving in common 😉
Love these snippets. Your diary was a lot more detailed than mine. When I looked back (around the same time as yours), it was a list of which boys I fancied – famous, and not. And what we’d done at music school or dancing.
My version of tidying up would have been – put everything in desk and shut up, put rest of stuff in wardrobe and close.
