Maintenance people are coming tomorrow and my place is tidy and I am still worried about it. I think this is because of 20+ years of mess and still not used to being tidy and I'm not sure how tidy I am yet. Will post again after they have been.

Good luck Rory -- I think it's just an uncomfortable feeling because of the past. But now is now and you will do just fine.  |

Sounds like a case of "ghost squalor."

Dear Rory,
You are being haunted by the ghost of squalor past. Exorcise that demon by confidently opening the door when maintenance comes in, with a big smile on your face, no less.
You are doing a wonderful job.

I was just thinking "ghost squalor". GMTA.  rory, I get that every time somebody comes into the house. Doesn't matter if it is a repair person or a friend, I still get those feelings. Not sure if they ever actually go away or if we just learn to deal with them better. But you keep up the good work! You seem to be doing a great job! |

Thank you for all your support. The guy came at midday and did his stuff and made a good job of it. I now have a handle on the bedsit door, a window catch that I can open a kitchen drawer repaired. The worker was very helpful and also fixed an electric socket that was falling off the wall.
I had felt very nervous and had not slept well and my place is a bit of a mess now as I needed to clear stuff out of the cupboard so he could get at things. It would be a good thing if I put stuff back as soon as possible.
Rory

Dear Rory,
You have handled this beautifully.
It shows how far you have come in your thinking that you want to put everything back right away,
