Dear Clive,

     It is impossible to clean your own house. Oh, you can clean it on the
surface, but you cannot clean it out. This CAN be done by your friends or
your enemies - the friends do a more destructive job - and it is a good test
of your character to let them do it.

     The best procedure is to order the skips. Note the plural. Order the
skips, dumpsters, Crommelins bins, or whatever a week ahead. When the girl
on the phone asks what size do not mess with the little 4 cu. metre ones.
Get a dozen of the 10's. Arrange for them to be delivered and picked up two
at a time for a week.

    Round up your work team. Friends will be easy to recruit if you promise
them that they can keep anything they find. Greed is universal, and
curiosity as to what is actually in your house is more widespread than that.
Arrange for the local pizza hell or Patellery to deliver carbohydrates to
the house at regular intervals. Pick a team leader. One you can afford to
discard later as a dried-up husk.

    Show the team leader a picture of a 1980 Redbook minimalist design
feature. Suggest that you would like the same look but not so cluttered -
light fittings are optional. Leave a book of signed cheques for the binmen
and the the local off license and.........

    Grab Mrs. Clive and leave town for a week. Skegness is soooo bracing.
Bognor Regis in the season. Melton Mowbray out of the season. Bradford
between riots. Just leave the house and leave them to it.

    You may find that you have a lot more stuff stored in the attic when you
get back - Hey, your friends need somewhere to get rid of their stuff too -
but at least the place will have been rearranged.

    Uncle Dick
