Hi there, I am naturally untidy and I struggle with keeping on top of the house work. I'm married and a Mum to one and I work. I like to be busy but I'm juggling lots.
Please subscribe to my channel if you think my videos may interest you or help you to get tidy.
I think lots of people struggle to be tidy. There are things I would rather be doing. I am aiming to have a tidier home! You are not alone - lots of us are untidy.

I have absolutely nothing in my loft,its boarded out so i could if i wanted to but id never go up there as im disabled. Just get rid of it all,don't put it up there as you'll only have to clear it out later.
Sorry Emma , I’m a little behind on the videos , last week my parents eventually moved house . Crazy hectic , but their in now . Emotional to say the least . Emma you’re making such a difference to your home ! Look forward to watching as always. Sending love 🍁🌻🍁
Hi Emma, hearing you say ‘the best parent you know how to be’ made me think because even with help and Input from family or friends every mom and dad is new to each child, what works for one might not for the other, I think the reason I enjoy my grandchildren so much is because yes I know more about children now but I also know I’ll learn from them and from my daughter, I never assume I know best because I don’t, I reckon life in general is always a learning curve. xx
Hello Emma, my friend has 3 sons but I will say she’s very close to them and their families, in fact they adore her, I do wonder if it’s because she treats their wives as if they were her daughters, in fact one sons marriage ended but his wife still sees my friend every Wednesday and even brings along her two children from the relationship she has now, stays the day and picks up her other children to take them all home, they all call her nanny😊 My daughter co slept with both of her children, until they felt ready to sleep in their own room, I’ve said before that she fed them both until they were 3. Some silly woman actually said ‘it’s not natural’!! At that time my grandson was only 6 weeks old! Heaven knows what she have said if she’d seen him at 3😂😂 xx
I have to rent properties in United Kingdom so I get evicted ever 12 months if im lucky that a long contract most are 6 months. I have to move due to section 21 no fault evictions government are corrupted havent ban them yet 😑. I am pro at rucksack packed go 👍🏻. I am evicted on Christmas Day this year so it going get interesting 🤣
@@sunflower-xj6pe I'm really sorry to read this. I'd feel awful to issue a section 21. Why do you think you're getting so many? That's awful you've got to leave on Christmas day 😳😳
❤❤❤❤😊
@@lucyrademakers4188 thank you
I love watching you clean and Decluttering your home and different angles. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks Andrea, how are you my friend?
@@gettingtidy2495 Doing ok...Sick with a cold and cough! I have such a terrible immune system 😫 😪 😞 How are you doing?!
@@AndreaSooHill429Get well soon!! I'm ok thanks xx
Hi Andrea, do you take Zinc? It's meant to boost the Immune System. I would find out, what other things you can eat or drink to Boost it. I take multivitamin and mineral tablets, and the one I buy has Zinc in it. I used to buy the tablet on it's own. I Hope You find the Answer(s) to Your problem. All the Best to You, and Good Health! 😊
@@viviennejordan215 thank you for your wishes to my friend and for the good advice.
I was just going to ask you if your husband has gone through his clothes and decluttered them when you when talk to your bedroom. You mentioned you were going to put your husband shorts and track pants for the rags. I'm just curious if that means the same for you as it does for us Americans. I remember reading books about poor kids being ragpickers and being able to sell things.
No he hasn't decluttered them and the things I want to get rid of he wants to keep. "Rags" or "put them in the rag bag" means either give them to charity and they get money for rags or put them in a bag next to the bin and they get recycled.

Never heard of Guy Faulks (probably didn’t spell that correctly)
I read a lot of books and watch shows based in England, otherwise I would never have heard of it either.
Guy Fawkes, plus a few others, planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament when the King would’ve been there on 5th November 1605. It’s known as the Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes is the name most remembered because he was the one found under the Houses of Parliament with the barrels of gunpowder. The plot was discovered when one of the plotters wrote a letter to warn someone they knew against going into Parliament that day. While the 5th November is not a bank holiday or anything, it is celebrated by people having bonfires & letting off fireworks as a reminder of the plot failing. Years ago, people would make effigies of Guy Fawkes, kids would go round asking people for “A penny for the guy” to get money during the day to go towards the bonfire & fireworks as local communities would often have their own little displays. Then at some point during the night, the effigy of Guy Fawkes would be put on the bonfire. But that’s not so common now. These days, most people either go to an organised fireworks display or have a small fireworks party in their own garden with family & friends, either on the night itself or on the nearest Saturday night usually. It can also be called “Bonfire Night” or “Firework’s Night” & not everyone bothers with it. We’re all taught about it in Primary school. We all get taught the poem: “Remember remember the 5th of November, Gunpowder, treason & plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason, Should ever be forgot.” So basically it’s a day to mark the time people tried blow up the King & the Government & we celebrate the fact that they failed.
Remember, remember the fifth of November, The gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.
@@brookhowell8841massive part of our history 😊
Hi Emma your kitchen is looking super clear ! IKEA have some brilliant storage ideas it’s well worth a visit if you’ve got one nearby . I remember one car boot sale we did where when my daughter and I went for a wander we came back to find my husband had sold my daughters brand new trainers that she’d left in the car 😂😂 He was not popular !! Xx
@@janemercer4 oh man you'll never forget that, a Mum would never make that mistake 😂😂
I don't even have any slippers!
Lol
Remind me where you live Carolyn? Like Emma, I was barefoot for most of my life and didn't wear slippers. Then in my late 40s I started wearing them all of the time, sometimes even to bed because my feet were cold.
@@brookhowell8841 I grew up in NY, but live in GA now. I just put on warm socks if my feet get cold 🥶
How come, do you wear shoes in the house or bare feet?
@@brookhowell8841I love my slippers now. The ones I wear are quite old fashioned but English and warm and comfortable ❤❤
I don't have that many shoes to begin with. I would put most of my shoes in my room.
@@carolynoquinn4573 do you wear shoes around the house? I think it depends on where you take shoes off

A little hint for a rainy work-free day: start sorting your sale items into cardboard boxes of like items: toys clothes shoes puzzles jewellery etc. Then when it is sale time in the Spring they will be easy to move out onto tables or whatever. JMHO
@@karenhoward8542 good idea. I've been opening the door and piling the things inside 😁😁
Loved the doll on your bed
@@karenhoward8542 going to get rid!!
I see your under the stairs and I am thinking you are making room for Harry Potter :)
You're right 😂🎉😂🎉
I have an Epilepsy Foundation pickup for October 15th, so I need to get busy and declutter whatever else I need to get through. I have 3 medium boxes at the moment with a bit more room in them. I think I will try to sort out a few more books, then I can make room to bring more in. Ha. I had saved these white doves that my mom had and put them on a shelf. They are so brilliantly white, that they make other things look grim. The more I thought about it and in looking very closely at these doves, they are virtually impossible to clean. They are made of salt. Yes, salt. I tried taking an artist's brush, but it didn't do much good. I've decided to make them a problem for someone else, so into the box they go. They don't look bad, yet, but I can see them being a future problem that I don't choose to deal with. Also, if they are knocked off by the cats, all I will need is the vacuum cleaner. 😅
They don't impossible to dust!! You are driven to get rid of stuff 😊
@gettingtidy2495 Totally impossible to dust and get into all of the tiny crevices on the wings. S/B under glass, but they're really just too fancy for me and don't fit in with other stuff.
@@raneemilliman7130 sounds like a good idea to get rid!!
Emma 😂😂😂😂✊polly pockets🤣Lizzie🏴
I was so pleased 😀
I'm curious if you kept them for your daughter or what you did with them. I am also curious if your husband is on board or a bit suspicious of what you might bring home from your sale. 😂
Hi Emma. I had an idea for you to hang a shoe bag on the inside of the under stair cupboard. Your shoes would then be very easy to retrieve & put away. Inexpensive too❤️
* I meant on the inside of the cupboard door. Sorry.😂
Good idea I'm going to look into this
Ooh hanger sounds great! ❤
Thank you!
I am watching eager to see what you are keeping and getting rid of,🫢😂few questions for you to ponder ? Why do you keep your good shoes in there and why not everyones go in their own wardrobes? I would only keep our daily things shoes coats and bags .that stresses me looking at it still. Your shopping bags ,afold them tidily will take up fraction of room Love you Emma 🫣😂🏴Lizzie,
I do have some best shoes in the spare bedroom but I don't really go in there. Good idea with the bags they take up A LOT of space. I can also put some on the car boots!
@@gettingtidy2495We keep our bags in the car trunk and move it over to the truck if we are going shopping when we drive it.
We have a shoe rack in our porch, everyone has their own shelf. We keep the shoes we wear most often on the shoe rack & everything else is in our wardrobe. Same for our coat rack, we only have out the coats, hats, scarves etc appropriate for the season. Then they are washed & put away in wardrobes until they’re needed again next year. It just makes it so much easier to find what you want, it looks tidier & less cluttered (our porch is small). Plus it leaves room for visitors to hang their coats too. I also have a mat that sits under the shoe rack that protrudes a bit, so there’s a place for visitors to put their shoes, it also means their shoes don’t get the floor all wet & dirty either. Tends to rain a bit in the UK 😂 We also have a small ottoman that doubles up as stool. We put all our shopping bags in there so they’re out of the way. Limiting what’s in the porch means it always looks tidy. The only shoes I will not allow to be placed on the shoe rack are slippers. We have carpets so don’t allow outside shoes to be worn past the porch. Putting slippers on the dirty shoe rack defeats the object of taking shoes off in the house in my opinion. So we leave our slippers on the stairs or in our bedrooms. I do love slippers, just bought some for my granddaughter to wear when she visits. She’s just under 2 years old & first thing she does when she gets here is go to put her slippers on. She can’t quite do it herself yet, but she keeps trying. Whilst they aren’t matching, we both have slippers with unicorns on 🦄 😂
JUST PUT IT IN THE BASKET!! It’s a universal problem 😂
Baskets are the answer to everything!!
Another lovely video! Eeeeeek I would love to be entered with a chance for a hanger 😍 I don't think it will be long before you reach 3000! ❤
Thank you Holly. I hope so. I thought it was going to be 1 year but it has been about 6 months I think. Andrea said I'd be on 3,000 soon 🎉
Commenting from Canada! Splitting my time between Vancouver and the Yukon Territory (arctic circle) I'm so pleased to hear that you've raised so much for the allergy foundation! I worked my way through your videos in September while I cleaned my own house! I did have a laugh yesterday while you were trying to figure out America. It's hard for Europeans to reconcile, but if you are in Seattle the weather is very much like England. If you go to The very southern states it is much closer to the equator so not all states have much winter. Consider that Texas borders Mexico while England is as far north as Canada, so the weather is very different than our latitude. In regards to travel, I could drive for 10 hours and still be in my own province😂 England fits into British Columbia about 15 times.
Thank you so much for watching them all!! I think we can't get our head around how big things are in America and American's don't realise how vastly different parts of Europe are. Like when someone I know wouldn't visit Italy because of the bombings in London 😮
@@gettingtidy2495😂 I am originally from Manchester so I totally get that. People always ask me about XYZ from another country as if I have any idea because "well you're 😢from Europe"

Good day my is Shelley wellnitz I live in Winnipeg Canada
Emma if you are going to hold off on the sale, at least contain everything. That way you keep your spare room available for use & keep yourself from going batty from knowing there is COMPLETE chaos behind that closed door. Just get a few inexpensive tubs that stack, label them on 2 sides & the top as "Sale Items 10/2024" or something. Make sure you have enough room to "grow" if that's your plan for the spring. Otherwise - especially once Holiday Decor is out & Gifts appear you will wonder why you bother at all to keep moving these things around your house. - - have it be a gift you give you & your family if nothing else. ❤❤
I think I should move it to the other side of the room as it's getting hard to get into the room.
This channel is such a great find you're a treasure. I have to say your understairs cupboard looks pretty organised and non-horrific!! You have to have somewhere to put things like that, though I know how you feel, especially under scrutiny. The bits and bobs and housework and mental load of life is neverending, i really like the way you're including the way we should share the load, or rather, it should be shared. I also did the one slipper thing today (strangely, often not finding the other slipper, never just wearing one...) that was so funny to see!! x
I ❤ this comment. Thank you for taking the time to post
You are so right, housework feels never ending. I've got 5 cats so I'm always cleaning up lol. My husband has had this week off work which is a rarity and he commented on Monday that my goodness if you didn't clean up all the time wouldn't the house quickly get in a state. 😅 Don't get me wrong I love my cats to bits but it's hard to keep up, you should see what I vac up daily, they're definitely worth it though. X
Do your cats all have very different personalities 😍😍
@gettingtidy2495 Oh yes definitely. Bobby my eldest is so placid and gentle, Tilly is a chatterbox, Ozzy is a loveable rogue, Polly just gets on with life and Mitzy the baby is playful and a mischief. X
@@traceyforth8170 they sound very cute 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱
Could you get a carpenter to change the under stairs storage to pull out drawers?
This is a good idea although I'd ❤ to get my hoover stored under there. But no space!!
I think a sale in the spring would be good because you'll have even more by then and hopefully get a bigger profit from it all. That's what we are doing. We have dedicated a space in the loft and piled loads up there to do a car boot in the spring xx
I'm copying you 🎉
@@gettingtidy2495 yes sales are such fun, especially in the spring because it's nice to do a bit of spring cleaning and see it all gone 🥰
I missed watching live as I was too sick so catching up this morning. I love your home ♥️
Thanks Holly. How many weeks now?
@@gettingtidy2495 10 weeks today so we have our 12 week scan exactly 2 weeks today! Feel like it's taken forever. We had to announce it so early because I was so sick and the children were really worried so we had to tell them. Then we had to announce it because our youngest just wanted to tell everyone 🤣♥️
I'm new here and I really enjoyed your videos❤😊. Wish you all the best ❤️😊
Thanks so much Sophia!
Hi Emma, Bea from Australia here 🇦🇺 thank you for your recommendation to try using a timer when starting on the decluttering journey, having a time limit has helped ❤ I suffer from multiple chronic conditions, so i tire very quickly. Thank you for being my "decluttering body double". You are doing a great job, keep it up 👍 P.s. Am also a fan of Travis the band, keep the band tshirts and get rid of any other clothing that doesn't fit or you don't love ✨️🎵🎶🎸❤
Thank you for letting me know
You’re making progress. Decluttering and getting to the point that you can clean without having to worry about clutter,will happen. Just take it one day ata time. ❤ when our youngest was about six years old,we cleaned out the closet under the stairs. It was her private space. She loved it. She’s 22 years old now. She talks about that closet a lot,lol. Especially on a bad day. She’s Autistic,very high functioning. Has ADHD,Depression and Anxiety disorders. So working is tough for her. But she keeps going😊You can get good shoe storage from IKEA. They’re very slim and have pull down drawer type storage.
Thanks very much Janet. You are a lovely Mother. Special memories.
Hi Emma, I have been watching your videos since you started and have watched your great progress. I love the way you stay true to your beliefs and you are so respectful and honest. Keep being you. It’s taken you a lifetime to accrue your items, you won’t get as tidy as you would like overnight, little and often and you will get there one day. Just keep going. Pam from not so sunny Suffolk. X
I love this comment and in two weeks I'll be doing a video of your beautiful county. 🎉🎉
Awww bless you, Suffolk and Norfolk are beautiful. Keep getting tidier you are doing a fantastic job. Xx
I understand we all have different ideas on parenting and child raising. As a child therapist, I share how much good chores do for our children. 10 or 15 minutes of chores each day for a preteen is reasonable and teach lifeskills. Movement is so important for our bodies. Researchers suggest that we don't sit longer than 20 minutes at a time. If I still had children at home who had lots of homework, I would make statements like... Please set the timer for 20 minutes. When it goes off, take one arm full of your birthday presents upstairs and put them away. Or take up the stack of laundry and put them away in your drawers before coming back downstairs to work some more. Also with her doing these things she saves you time so you can go out and do more fun things and not feel like you're not keeping up with your home. When we were children, our shows had commercials, and that was when I would get up and get things done. I even did that during your video just now. I would watch for a while, then took a break to switch over a load of laundry or gather the trash to go out.
Good advice. I found my diary age 6. I polished and dried the dishes for Mother's day!
Listening to your other viewers from the UK and watching you hanging your clothes on drying racks & radiators makes me so very grateful that I have a separate laundry room with a washer & a dryer! I am blessed❣️
We are not thrilled that ours is in the basement with the water heater, furnace, sump pump and chest freezer, but thankful that we have a dryer and a separate space for them!
It does get a bit much for a few days with it hanging everywhere!
Personally I and many of us in the UK prefer to dry washing outside, plus we were always taught from an early age to conserve energy, water etc where we could. I think as the younger generation comes through that may change slightly but I honestly love the smell of laundry dried outside. If I lived in a warmer,drier climate I’d be washing all the time😂
Please don't get discouraged you're doing well.
Thank you Marilyn 🎉
We call that "country directions" in Australia. As sometimes you travel long distances and do not see much but bush land and then its you go past XXX and then keep going until you see XXX
Watching you clean and declutter in one slipper because you can't find the other one in the clutter has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It really tickled me and made me belly laugh! Thanks for that, I needed a good cheer me up!!
I'm glad you laughed 😂😂❤❤
Definitely needed one of your vlogs tonight i have been at the hospital today with my husband for his MRI. I'm so tired funny how sitting in waiting rooms can be so tiring. 🫖☕️🍫
Sitting in waiting rooms was my second vocation all those years my husband was sick before he passed. But my mother-in-law has gotten me beat since my father-in-law has been sick much longer and is still living. They both have a kidney disease that was genetic. My husband's grandfather passed away from it in the 60s before they really knew how to treat it.
