    What are these cornices and crevices people speak of? I don't think I have them
    , cos I've never found them to clean.

    That's the beauty of leaving dust alone - it evens out all though nooks and crannys so you can't even see them to worry about cleaning them :D
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Oh I see, I thought my rounded corners were a design feature, do you think I have crevices there then?

    And after about 5 years, just paint over them all. It will look lovely and even.

    Probably, but I'd focus on your 'added' rounded corner design feature as your persoanl creative stamp on your home.

    Do most people hoover every day? I must be a !!!!!!.

    The bathroom basin has a quick clean every day; whoever uses the shower or bath cleans it. Skirting get a wipe with my socked foot as I notice dust.

    Nah, just normal.

    Before we had pets we did it once a week.

    Not everything is suitable for being washed by a dishwasher.

    But I wouldn't let kids of 11 and 13 wash up my good glasses!:eek::eek:

    I do my skirting boards on a rota alternate days. Upstairs day one, downstairs day 2, upstairs 3, downstairs 4.

    I do my windows inside and out daily as I'm waiting for my fresh bread to finish baking before breakfast. If it's raining I just do the insides ;)
