Gosh, you people are so clean! I wash-up once a day and try and change the bed/hoover/clean the bathroom once a week. That's my only routine though. It's just that I get home at 7pm during the week and I also have to work every other Saturday. By the Sunday I am so tired I couldn't possibly contemplate doing any housework. And I can't figure out how people manage to have a social life and do housework! If I have just spent 6 days at work I want to go out somewhere nice, not stay in. I do occasionally take a couple of days off work and blitz the house. If I had the money I'd definitely have a cleaner and pay someone to do the ironing!

I used to do far more housework before I discovered this site!!! Now I seem to spend most of the day on here even though every morning I vow I won't!

Basically as long as my kitchen and bathroom are clean I don't worry too much about the rest. I used to dust and hoover every day but my house gets so dusty I feel I am fighting a losing battle. I spend some of Mondays ironing and changing the bed but other than that have no real routine.

Hi there

I am a bit hit and miss to you could try https://www.flylady.com she has interesting things to say and she does not cost anything. She teaches baby steps to cleaning in 15 or 5 minute chunks.

I am not out at work and I still cannot get all that I want done. We have too much stuff!!!!!! :snow_laug

My God, I started to read this thread and became totally depressed at you superwomen who hoover and dust and polish every hour on the hour. I clean my house once a year if I'm lucky and the first job is usually to remove the cobwebs and hoover the crumbs until I can see the carpet. Reading your posts was resulting in my feeling vast amounts of guilt! AND THEN.....

I clicked on the https://www.flylady.com link and read the Home Page and I got really interested. So I've signed up to become a Member and hope to get started by very small steps. Thankyou SOOO much for your post, Jellycat, I think I've started to crack it AT LAST!!!

MUST dash, I'm off to polish my sink (Baby Step No. 1)
