Does any fancy giving me patronisingly simple instructions. I need to sort it today but I'm stuck in bed feeling like it's all too much

Don't try to tackle it all at once, that's too overwhelming. Decide on one area you're going to deal with first. Write down what you need to do. Break it down into small tasks:

  • Get mop, broom and cleaning stuff
  • Sweep kitchen floor
  • Fill bucket with warm water and add cleaner
  • Mop floor


or
  • Get out vacuum cleaner and large plastic container/basket
  • In living area, pick up toys any items that should be in other rooms - put in plastic container
  • Pick up newspapers etc. that must be thrown away/recycled and put in proper place
  • Vacuum floor
  • Put vacuum cleaner away
  • Take plastic container to DC room and put away toys and other items belonging to them
  • Take plastic container to other rooms as necessary and put away contents until empty


Hope that helps.
