  I cant believe its been so long since I logged on here to talk.  My place is still dark but I am trying to find some light.  I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 yrs and arthritis in my spine and hips (the wear and tear kind but I don't know how to spell osteo) I have been unable to work for around 5 years as my illness has progressed and to date I have lost my self confidence alongside what friends I did have, my little dog stops me feeling lonely and the odd conversation or social interaction I do have leaves me exhausted so I tend to avoid those. I'm here to ask a question.  My house is so cluttered its become a hazard to negotiate around, its not dirty, but probably very dusty. I'm not quite at 'hoarder' stage but I need help to organise and realise that I will have to pay for this, after which, my house needs a deep clean, I am virtually housebound so having a clean and tidy house would do much to improve my mood.  Where do I start to look for a reputable service?  I am on benefits so can't pay much but have been saving what I can to pay for this.  Can anyone tell me where I can find such an angel?

  Hi, thank you for your response,  I seem to have found someone fairly local, shes coming to see me next week for a consultation. What did you have in mind?

  Sure!  I'm having a fairly painful but lucid day today, amazing since I didn't get a wink of sleep last night (decided to try a chiropractor for my back on Friday but my Fibro and back don't agree)  I'm not sure I will be able to keep up with repeated visits to the site but I am trying to get online more often if nothing else, it keeps my email account up to date!
