    Nope - dont thing I did. :confused:

    It for the place I work...... shared house for people with learning difficulties. They have to design one and I was looking for ideas to help them. They need to make informed decisions so I am providing them with lots of different options to assist them.

    Happy now?? :rolleyes:


    Nope, what you doin in here if its nothing to do with students :tongue:

    you only clean your bathroom once a fortnight with that many people using it? yuck!
    we just don't make that much mess.... there are 2 bathrooms and 5 people who generally only sleep 4 nights a week each in the house for various reasons. i'm not sure that suggesting that we're all just dirty students is entirely necessary!! we're all postgrads and professionals so don't leave rooms in a state for other people. maybe more messy people who can't clean up after themselves need more, but less of the personal hygeine judegments on me please!! ;)

    there are 4 men in our house including me and our bathroom gets cleaned once a month if we are lucky. kitchen gets cleaned once a month, stairs corridor i think have been done once in 6 months that was interesting, bedrooms get cleaned once every 2 months.

    there is no rota, everyone is happy. :D

    theres only one of me in my flat (a student!) and my oh stays at weekends and we clean teh bathroom once a week, along with hoovering, giving teh kitchen a proper clean, cleanign teh windows and dusting, its just standard hygiene. and i always clean up after myself, you dont have to be a postgrad or professional to be tidy and clean. if 5 people stay 4 times a week, thats still 40 baths/showers (maybe more coz some people take 2 a day) between cleaning your bath/shower and i dont even wanna imagine how mucky your loo gets! :p

    this past is really quite self righteous and has actually quite annoyed me. my home is nice and clean, and i feel happy that my basic hygeine is up to scratch, thanks all the same. congratulations on having a pristine home - my loo is just fiine and dandy thanks.
