Frugal's kitchen looks normal to me too. A kitchen with no "stuff" around just leaves me feeling bewildered and uneasy.

Psst - the picture is my kitchen :rotfl::D

but thank you for saying it looks normal, I feel so much better

Found my spiritual home on here

I work full time, have a family and pets and find it absolutely impossible to get on top of the housework - but TBH I don't care - life is for living, not a competition for who has got the tidiest/cleanest home

I had a serious health scare a couple of years ago - it really made me reassess my priorities & made me realise how precious every day is....too precious to spend time dusting and polishing

Plenty of time for housework when I'm too old for anything else

• I've got a ton of stuff to do. The washing up from tonight's dinner is still on the side, staring me in the face and challenging me to complete it. Challenge failed, my bed is calling and winning at the moment, I'll do it tomorrow.

• I've got a long day with the baby tomorrow, will try and do as much as possible. The pile of clean clothes to fold up and put away is verging on Himalayas size, shameful. In fact, tomorrow my ds1 will be wearing white socks to school because the prospect of hunting down black or grey is too much at the moment!

• I have no idea what is in my food cupboards or freezer. At meal times, I throw together whatever is edible and nearest. I should start meal planning again but really can't be bothered at the moment.
• I found dust bunnies the size of rottweilers underneath a changing unit. Yep, I have a tendency to hoover around things rather then move them and do it properly.:eek:

Then I thought, I could do with a cuppa, went down, made said cuppa, took back up and started again. Half an hour and many more Avon buys later, I decided I wanted another cuppa. Did I take the other cup down? No, I brought another one up.

Every morning Mr Melvis has a cuppa in bed. He NEVER brings the cup down :eek: He leaves them until his bedside table is full, then starts filling my bedside table. I refuse to bring them down, I don't drink tea/coffee etc so this is one mess that's definitely not mine I told him if he runs out of cups, then no more tea. I've never seen him drinking tea from a pint glass, so it must be working :rotfl::rotfl:

I'd kill to have a kitchen that organised...........and I'm not brave enough to post a pic of mine - and the only camera I know how to use is DD2's and she's got it at school because she's doing A Level Photography...so her need is greater than mine!

A friend of my Mum's remarried in mid-life to a single father with a clutch of teen sons (I know, it must have been True Love). She solved the problem of mugs and glasses being left all over the house by having ONE per family member and the spares under lock and key. Left your mug upstairs? Oh dear, no coffee for you, son!Extreme measures but as the only female in the household, she had to resort to some tricks to manage her menfolk.

Oooooo, I'm lovin' it:)
I have found like minded peeps.
I suffer from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). And it doesn't help that I have friends who work full time in very demanding jobs who are totally houseproud and never seem to have CBA moments;)
