I'm not trying to burst your bubble but my house is fairly ok, but it takes more than half an hour of house work a day to maintain it.

You need to get it done from top to bottom & then spend a good hour a day (or one day a week) maintaining it.

If you only do half an hour a day, you will never conquer it.

It was a start - After making the decision to do something about it, I have started. In just half an hour I did all that. Then I have 2 days to get it ship shape, which I WILL. And after that I can follow the Flylady thread to maintain it.

I was not suggesting that half an hour a day is enough to conquer it, or maintain it - I only made the decision to fix the problem tonight.

can't believe I went and look at Urban dictionary. looks like both ways exists in there dictionary but didn't want to look to far.

Mumofj2 - Urban Dictionary is a real eye opener if you want to know what the latest slang means. I reiterate, it is not child safe, but some of the stuff on there has me in stitches, other stuff has me totally mind boggled in a "do what?!!!" sort of way...

soappie.. thank you for clarifying the correct usage of KH/NH lol.. we are deeply ashamed to know you .. I've had a small giggling do over that one.

*waves to Nicki*.. how are you love? and Miss L ??

And no.. it is no longer the festive period.. it is that limbo period before you go back to work/kiddies back to school where you are all on a sugar high and craving potatoes and anything other than warmed up gobble. I ain't festive..I am absolutely shattered!

Panto tomorrow afternoon.. this afternoon was spent vacuuming downstairs doing laundry and dishes.. how is that festive?

Children? How old are they? In this house any child over the age of four or so was (and still is) regarded as part of the labour force. Kids can pick up, empty rubbish bins and fetch and carry even at a young age, and by the time they're ten or so they can do most household tasks that don't involve fire, chemicals or actual decision making. So while you're working out your plan of attack for tomorrow don't forget to think up a list of simple tasks for them to do when they get back. You've got plenty of time before they go back to school and even half an hour out of each child can add up to one heck of a lot of assistance once you count it up for a week or so.

As to the mess, the charity shops will be open again very soon. Remember every item that you donate or chuck out is an item you'll never have to tidy up or put away or clean ever again. Work with a box (for charity shop) and bin bag within easy reach, and use them!
