MY IDEA OF HOUSEWORK IS TO SWEEP THE ROOM WITH A GLANCE

We are trying to sell our house too but I refuse to try to keep (get) it neat and tidy all the time (or ever)!

If all of us work like crazy for two hours we can have it reasonable in the unlikey event that we get a viewing!!! GGGRRR!!!!:eek:

Spraying polish in the air, quick swish round bathroom and kitchen - all washing put in DHs car - pray they do not open the linen cupboard and chuck ingredients in breadmaker so I look like a "domestic human " if not a goddess!

Have not ironed since DD(at uni) told me her theory that the wrinkles in clothes dropped out as you wore them and that if you ironed them and put them in a wardrobe that they creased!!!;)

One of my daughters is obsessively tidy and cleans everything constantly - she does not get that from me!!!

There is a motto

"My home is clean enough to be healthy

And dirty enough to be happy"

Boy are we happy!!!!:rotfl:


You have cheered me up so much with this thread!

Remember Quentin Crisp's advice that after four years dust does not grow anymore and console yourselves with the thought that we are not that bad!

Made a late Sunday lunch today but took DDs out to Nandos yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Forgot shops were closed today so had no vegs in and had to get DH to drive me to the only shop open!!

Thank you all so much, you have made my weekend. Will def nominate for post of the month if I can find out how you do it. Although I will be eternally grateful to OS for getting me to bake bread, waste less food and try to keep on top of things, I have always wondered how everyone manages to clean, cook, be a domestic godess AND spend time on MSE - I can only do one and I choose the latter! I often wonder what my inlaws think when they come over and the same muddy football mark is in the same place on the patio windows every time. Also wonder what the germs must be like, if the back of the toilet is DUSTY!!! And I wonder when I will be old enough to no longer require advance notice before we have visitors... I am now 44 so the answer is prob never. Now I will never feel quite as guilty for reading my WeightWatchers magazine while stuffing my face, reading about how to do a triathlon with my feet up or watching How Clean is your House when I should be cleaning - happy Easterxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ps best laugh I have had for ages

I have so much washing that I've had to bag it up in a black bag.................... and now i've resorted to piling more on top of the black bag.

My ironing pile is about to topple over if I pull anything else out.

I haven't properly cleaned my bathroom in about 3 weeks.

Today I found one of my daughters milk cups that i've been missing for 3 weeks, still full of milk.

I have 5 assignments, all due in this week or late and don't even know where to start.

My youngest is still running around in her pyjamas.

I plan on feeding them cocopops for tea...................


sand-dancer - does your name refer to where you live, if so it's where I live too!

Just had an inspiration - if an unmade bed is Art and someone has an exhibit of dirty clothing in a gallery- could we arrange a tour of "Hellish housekeepers" and make a fortune?

Just a thought. If anyone has light fittings in their kitchen, I dare yous to see how sticky they are...not that ... ahem......mine are of course...:o

Never mind just noticed, it is!!!

Laughing at the sunny part mind..............you must live in different area to me

sillyvixen

omg!! a sort of anti fly lady thread!! i will have to keep an eye on this for ideas of what not to clean.

The ultimate confession, I just employed a cleaner again...and I don't have small children anymore. I do have a demanding job and a biggish house and I suffer from FMS so my energy supply is limited. Don't feel guilty if you are not perfect, I have said this before, you can't be superwoman at everything just relax, do what's most important to you and your family and don't beat yourself up about the rest.
