I bought a can of furniture polish in 1979, and got another in 1987 (only because it came free with something)
I haven't opened the second because the first is still going strong. :rotfl:

How very MSE :money: of you!

When people come over, light a nice smelling candle or two and turn the big light off!

Boom! House smells nice and looks spotlessly clean in the semi-dark :rotfl:

Great thread!!

Totally agree with the Benny Hill theme, me and my OH used to go around the house cleaning "comedy style" every so often theatrically bumping into each other with jazz-hand shock to keep 5 minute cleaning bursts fun! I still sing it in my head when doing washing up. Oh, and when sorting socks I talk to myself in my head "boy sock, girl sock, not sock, girl sock, old sock, bin sock? fix sock" and so on, thank god its not out loud or someone might have called the nice men in white coats by now!

Also, I find that unusual methods keep it as fun as it can be...as I posted somewhere before, I learnt to fold t-shirts like a ninja. Now I can't wait to fold man t-shirts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK1nGpvaHno

The skirting board on my stairs gets really dusty for some reason (probably the dog bounding up and down all day)...so I wear a pair of socks on the way down stairs to the washing machine every so often, running one foot along the skirting board.

Loving this thread, please keep posting!

Would have been better to sell the second one if it wasn't needed...

I like to think it is increasing in value as a collectors item.:cool:

Tips from a sloblady:

Chuck everything. Your house looks massive and its easy to clean.

What you cant chuck, make sure it either goes in drawers, cupboards or when all else fails, under the stairs.

Less clothes. Less to wash right?

Got kids? At least get them to wash up their own knife/fork/spoon/plate/bowl. Less for you to wash.

Lighting is important. Use wall lights. You cant see the 'hanging gardens'.

I'll get back to you on the rest.

You forgot using the space under and behind the sofa as temporary storage in emergency situations ie when you haven't got time/space to put those magazines away when someone is knocking on your door

don't clean those hairspray spots off the mirror and you won't notice how dusty the bathroom is. Plus, you'll look so much younger because you won't see the wrinkles or notice the grey in your hair

Sleeping in your make up is good too.You wake up in the morning with that soft candlelit look to your face...add the not so perfect mirror to that and you'll feel gorgeous for the rest of the day and not waste time putting a fresh face on!

Warning:effect does wear off so future reapplication will be necessary
