The Busy Saturday

I woke up early and got up straight away. First, I needed to tidy up. I picked up all the clothes from the floor and put them away in the cupboard or in the laundry basket. I made my bed.

Then I decided to go through my old books and magazines. There were so many! I took them all off the bookshelf. I looked through them and decided which ones to keep and which ones to give away. I put the ones I didn't want into a box.

Next, my desk; it was covered in papers! I needed to sort them out. I threw away old notes and put important documents into files. I also wiped down the desk surface.

It was nearly lunchtime. I went downstairs and helped my mum wash up the breakfast dishes. After lunch, I went back to my room.

I saw my favourite poster had fallen down. I needed to put it back up. I found some tape and carefully stuck it back on the wall.

In the afternoon, my friend called and asked if I wanted to hang out. I really wanted to, but I hadn't finished my room. "I can't come out right now," I said. "I'm trying to tidy up. Maybe later?"

I carried on working. I even cleaned the window. Finally, around 4 o'clock, my room looked much better. Everything was put away, the desk was clear, and the floor was clean. I felt tired but pleased.

I called my friend back. "Hi! I've finished! Do you want to meet up now?"

"Sure!" he said. "Come round to my house."

I got changed quickly, turned off my bedroom light, and went out. It felt good to relax after working so hard all day. And it was nice to know my room was finally tidy!
