So what would your golden piece of advice be to keep it nice and lovely

If I wasn't fundamentally lazy I would go for:

• Little and often - do half an hour every day on the essentials that matter to you, I should put the dishwasher on, wipe the worktops and sink, washing machine on, quick wipe of the bathrooms, hoover main living room, and a 10 minute put away - I have children and pets so this is the bare minimum daily for me.
• Don't put it down put it away (cheers Valli)
• Get rid of clutter, takes time but works in the long run (cheers Serena)
• Deal with the post as it arrives - and get rid, don't let paperwork pile up if you dont need to
• Make half an hour a week minimum to deal with a hotspot so problems dont build up again

oh and don't have children, pets, family or a garden .
