Don't mention fruit bowls to me today..................

Mine became a miniture pond after DH manged to put a screw through 2 (yes you read it correctly) water pipes and I had all the water from the heating system come through my ceilling *sigh*

At least it helped wash the kitchen floor

How come I don't know any of you people? My friends homes are like palaces, so perfect and you just know you have to take your shoes off.

Then I go home and feel the need to clean and tidy up as mine just doesn't come close.

I forgot to add that I very rarely clean my oven, usually just before or after Xmas. Try and keep the top clean. I clean my fridge when I look it it and think Urgh! I have pulled my cooker out for at least 6 months and I rarely clean inside my cupboards. Must do that sometime:rolleyes:

Forgot to add that my car inside is disgusting, full of mud, sand, sticks, shells ect. I do have a rubbish bag that vaguely gets used.

I think we have the same friends :rotfl: :rotfl: I have one the last time she came to stay .. (please bear in mind I had been cleaning for 2 days prior to her arrival)

Complained ... yes complained about the foloowing :

Some of the clean polished bottles arranged in a row in the bathroom were empty.

The pristine kitchen (it shone it took hours) didn't have a tea towel available.

The living room small window above the tv didn't have a curtain ... its 5 cms high by about 30 long and by the ceiling hardly a problem ... all the other windows have curtains.

She couldn't locate a mop when she spilled stuff on the floor ... I use flash wipes so don't have a mop

She then proceeded to announce that she had no idea how I could buy clothes when I lacked so many basic things for the house

Thankfully she didn't open the spare room up.

Could he be taught to spin and knit?
Could his name be changed to Brian?
Is it already?

:rotfl: :rotfl: Think might have to mention that to him - it would be a sign of true love.

I also have washed DS' footie boots in the wm however as they are nikes there is something in them that stinks like cat wee when they are wet -literally stinks the house out.

How I envy you people,I can't and I mean can't take short cuts with my housework.I just have to do things.I think it goes with the strict upbringing I had,where everything had to be perfect or else.I can cut corners in every aspect of my life except for my housework,I suppose I always feel I'll be judged if everything is'nt perfect.I'm ashamed to say that my cooker is cleaner than when I first got it, even after two years of constant use.I am so organised it's sad realy.The thing is I just love to go to other people's homes that are a bit dishevelled and feel very comfy and wish I could be like that myself,I just know I can't.

Plese don't hate me chardonnay. I'm selling at the mo and had a new pale carpet put down!

I agree with ceridwen, We decluttered to bare so the house looks good - and it does. I have to keep it clean in case someone comes at a moment's notice and if I don't I get very agitated, so doing it is the only option.

Because all surfaces are kept clear, cleaning by rubbing over with a wipe makes cleaning easy.

How rude is that! Need friends like that like a hole in the head....Did you say anything?!!

Very funny thread:
My suggestion for an easier life instead of this OS malarky
Become a fag hag and get yourself a gay lodger and you will never have to clean again:D
