This is what I have to do to get Mycelium Mansion rented out:

• tell my bank to refund money they owe me and set up a savings account for the majority of my redundancy payment
• clean bedroom & repaint at least 1 wall
• clean bathroom & retouch paintwork where damp has hassled it
• get new shower curtain
• clean lounge & retouch paintwork where I’ve hassled it
• clean kitchen & retouch paintwork where I’ve hassled it
• clean hall & retouch paintwork where loft ladder has hassled it
• replace lounge curtains
• clean and hem kitchen curtains
• give stuff back to to folk I’ve borrowed it from
• sort my paperwork. I have a huge filing box full of bank statements, etc. It’s all filed by type but there’s a lot of out-of-date stuff and the types could be grouped much better.
• check loft
• find a tenant or get a letting agency to do so
• deal with any effects of the flat being let on the mortgage, buildings insurance and my relationship with the housing association who own the rest of the building
• sort contents insurance because most of my stuff is at my parents and the rest will be in the care of a tenant
• create an inventory

So far I’ve just about emptied the bedroom – only the TV and two chests of drawers to go, then I’m going to the pub for lunch.
