Snap that happened to me today with DS2, I did clean the bathroom and shower room though as that would be quiet
Pleased with the balance I have achieved this week with flying/other things. I need to do all the bedrooms over the weekend but that is ok as the boys are home they can tidy them first:T

Tips - lower your standards and don't beat yourself up about things that dont really matter
Little and often seems to be key. I make myself do at least half an hour every day (dishwasher, washing machine, quick wipe kitchen and bathroom, hoover ideally) and I try not to leave the kitchen in a mess every night. It doesn't always work, and I end up doing everything at the weekend and seething with resentment.
