  • WOW!! I can't believe I have found this thread, it is just what I need. For the last 30 years we have lived in a higgly piggly house. I have always blamed it on working long hours but I am now officially a lady of leisure (or maybe not looking at the daily tasks I'll be doing) and have plenty of time and no more excuses. I'm hoping this might give me the structure that has been missing since I left work. I'm really looking forward to having a fabulously clean and tidy house. Thanks everyone. :D
