leaving you more time to do the things you enjoy!

* Do you have a room or space that need decluttering or a cupboard that needs sorting.

* Have you got errands and tasks that need doing but you don't have the time?

* Do you need some help with running things at home after a return from hospital?

Costs vary depending on the job, but my fees start at £20ph. I cover Stow-on-the-Wold and the surrounding villages within a 5 mile catchment. Travel to areas further a field would be by arrangement and charged at 45p per mile.

Who am I?

I am a wife and mum of 2 girls, and I love to tidy and organise! I relish the challenge of transforming an untidy space into a
de-cluttered and ordered one. I enjoy giving people a helping hand when time just runs away from them.

I have had a working career in publishing and my last position was as the PA to a company Finance Director.
I pride myself on being organised, confidential, trustworthy and non-judgmental.

Testimonials

"Working with Lucy is like joy in a box. She has an amazingly positive approach to those tasks that have overwhelmed you, or you just can’t get done yourself. She spends time to understand what you need and then you can leave it in safe hands ready to be excited to see the transformation. She organises, makes things happen and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a professional you can trust." Melinda and Emma, Larkswold, Adlestrop

"We needed help with organising two large storage areas and called upon Lucy to help us. Lucy was amazing at decluttering a very untidy storage cupboard and outdoor large shipping container, labeling the contents and sorting through everything so that now we can access all our resources and we have rediscovered things from long ago. We can now access everything we need easily and we can quickly see what we need to replenish. I am so grateful to Lucy for her efficiency and her diplomatic approach to our hoarding! I have used Lucy's services for helping us with presenting community lunches, craft stalls, parties, fairs, bars, afternoon tea events and evening fund raisers. Lucy has the ability to transform a shabby hall or unloved outdoor area into a beautiful venue for your event. She has the magical touch and is very thoughtful with regard to what is required to make a large space look perfect for any occasion. Her thoughtful touches and creative ideas always remind me of a magical fairy with a wand who can just transform things and make the mundane into something very special. I can highly recommend her." Mrs R Scutt, Head Teacher, Stow-on-the-Wold Primary School

"Working long hours, not having time to organise my life, leaves me in disarray. Lucy is the perfect solution for busy people who want some order in their lives from bedroom cupboards to untidy loft space. Lucy always has a plan. She puts you at ease with her kindness and amazing ideas for decluttering life. A huge part of Lucy’s amazing service is her sensitivity, in enabling people to ‘let go’ of the archive items that keep us stuck in the past. Could not recommend her more!!"Mrs C Stubbs, Stow-on-the-Wold

"Thank goodness I found and had help from Lucy. Her professionalism and sensitivity really helped me to sort my house out before I had to do a major house move. Getting rid of 26 years of ‘stuff’, was quite emotional. Lucy turned up and honestly plowed through it all quicker than I could ever have done. She literally achieved a miracle. I have already recommended her to several of my friends. We all need a Lucy in our lives."Mrs F Shilling, Great Wolford

"Lucy is the most delightful, trustworthy, hardworking and organised person that I have ever met! She has helped me on a couple of occasions and I would not hesitate to ask her back. She single handedly organised, tidied, de-cluttered my loft room, sorted all the children’s old toys into boxes (all labelled), cleared out so much rubbish and even took recycling and rubbish away for me. Lucy clearly takes great pleasure in helping others organise their lives when they are time pressured, not up to the task, or simply overwhelmed with clutter." Mrs J Galbraith, Clanfield

"Lucy has this incredible ability to problem solve. What starts with a catch up over a cuppa ends with her using some of her many talents and creating something above and beyond your expectations. I mentioned I’d made some jam and chutney for my primary school but didn’t know where to start when it came to creating the labels, especially as my computer skills were limited. 45 minutes later, after a more in-depth chat about what I wanted, Lucy had designed and printed four different sets of beautiful labels for me. I can’t thank her enough. She is one in a million!"Mrs A FitzGerald, East Sussex
