Wow, I think I love this thread! Sign me up please!

I thought that when you grew up, got married, had children and your own house and all that jazz, you actually 'grew up' and acted like an adult, cleaned things, knew where things were... Seems not. Our house is a disaster, and I am the worst housewife That room that never gets tidy, I have a house of those.

Help me, please? It's either get motivated to clean and sort.... or 'accidentally burn the house down and buy a new one...

My advice.. start flinging stuff out..

I tried the burn it down thing.. sadly gibble breeds in an empty house so you end up with 10 times more than you started with

So far

Chicken cooked
WM on
Dishes put away
Veg prepared ready for making soup
