Well I can now explain....

At 12.09 today I was at work, nowhere this computer, and this was posted by an imposter:eek: ...



....my 3 year old dd!!

I have this site marked in my favourites and she loves the cbeebies website which is just underneath it in the favourites list.

She must have been clicking away and somehow managed to post!

I must admit though I have been in absolute stitches imagineing (?sp) what you must all have been thinking:rotfl:
Debras Angel- first prize to you, you weren't far wrong!:D

I'm with Budget on the annual cleaning routine BEFORE FLY LADY GOT TO YOU :eek:
I went to the flylady website and ROTFLMAO - life's too short to make my sink sparkle!
And as for "claiming the laundry room as my own with little gingham curtains" as one 'convert' posted to the site - OMG have you ever thought you need to get out more?
Thanks but I have a full time job, I'm a part time mum and I am addicted to MSE.
I'm off ill recouperating form surgery atm so the heaviest thing I can lift is the kettle! but that didn't stop me racing around the house the weekend before the surgery scrubbing my house form top to bottom, so's when I have to slob on the couch I'm not thinking "i need to clean that bit there".

My Nanna used to say

"it'll still be there when I'm gone" and true enough it still is.

Life is too short to clean, clean, clean altough please don't tell my Mum that otherwise my house would be 10 foot thick in dust - it's lucky she didn't take after her mother, it must be like twins and skip a generation

Wipe all surfaces in the main bathroom whilst kids are in the bath/shower - daily (had it refurbished in october and I am keeping it looking that way!)
Hoover bathroom floor once a week, mop every other week
Squirt of loo cleaner down the loos daily
Clean my en suite bathroom once a week

Sweep the floor in the utility room daily - gets mud from our trips out to the garden to feed the hens.

Masses of laundry every day seems to be never endingSweep kitchen floor twice a week, mop once, shine cooker top once a week, clean oven not often enough :rolleyes:

OH has a thing about fridges, comes from studying microbiology, he cleans that:)
Sweep hall once a week, mop every other week.

Hoover kids front room twice a week, or more depending on how much muck they leave on the floor, dusting and decluttering when i feel like it, my front room hoover once a week, dust as i walk around with an anti static duster from poundland

Change my sheets once every week and a half depending on how much action thay have seen :)Kids sheets on a need basis, i.e. little ds sometimes wees the bed, middle ds had eczema so its all a bit flaky, and dd is v clean so less often for her.
Hoover kids rooms once a week.

TRY to take a bag of stuff to the charity shop every week, or freecycle something.

Go to the market on Saturday morning with my granny bag, to get fresh fruit and veg, and sometimes meat, try to spend about a tenner. Top up fruit mid week.

And cook from scratch for 3 kids and OH, entertain dd's current baking hobby (she is 8 and has made buns, muffins and shortbread this week) and run my business.
no wonder I am knackered.

When people say they give their rooms a "deep clean" or a "thorough clean", what do they mean. Would that include washing skirting boards and hoovering under beds.

I'm having a mad spring clean at the mo ... it seems all I've done for the past week is clean but I'm going through the house one room at a time, I can't believe how dirty it is until I have looked and I'm quite particular (well I thought I was). I really enjoy housework though.

Doing our bedroom tomorrow, the last room in the house to do, so when hubbie comes in from nights he'll have to sleep in the spare room !!! He doesn't mind !!! as long as he's not doing it.

I feel very guilty admitting this on a money saving site, but actually .... I pay for a cleaner every week to do 3 hours.

I absolutely hate cleaning!

Does this mean I should de-register from this website????

:rolleyes:

Yes. you should fire him/her immediately and .......................send them round to my house instead. I don't mins ironing or hoovering it's everything else I can't stand. It's the frequency too - it wouldn't be so bad i you didn't have to keep doing it. I think my house is clean(ish) but it's not tidy. I really like it when it's tidy but then I can't find anything!!

You can also use essential oils in the water to make the room smell better.
