    Why not record the soaps, and spend half an hour dashing about like a madwoman instead.

    then sit, watch soaps and go to bed?


    I find it's when I sit down and relax that I don't want to get up - so do it before you relax.

    I tend to start doing something, then get carried away and end up cleaning everything! It always tends to happen in the evening as I 'wake up' later in the day.

    I agree, do it before you relax and go to bed contented and knowing the house is clean. Otherwise if it was me I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing I'd have to deal with it tomorrow! Also I find that my day goes better if it starts with less stress...

    well i am in two minds, if i have the energy i would do it tonight, i think sometimes its worse coming down to it in the morning than running about like a madwoman for an hour...........but sometimes i prefer to leave it if i know that i will get time first thing as i will have more energy.......do it if you just can't look at it!
