I confess that a lot of the time things 'live' on the floor for about a week.
Don't clean the shower and bathrooms on a weekly basis.
Sometimes I splurge on M&S Sushi at lunchtime.....Oh the shame.....Spreading the gospel that is Martin Lewis to the future generation....I'm a Home Economics Teacher and being thrifty is the way!:A0 -
Just found this post and spent lots of dusting time reading through it, you've made me laugh out loud. Thanks girls.0

I promised myself that when I retired our house would be immaculate. And now I have, it's worse than ever because I seem to have less time for housework than when I was working!0

Oh! Flylady!!! Yes, i looked once :rotfl:
. Taught me the "27 -fling-boogie" which i do do, religiously, every day, trouble is, that doesnt scratch the surface 
Mind you, i do often think, when i see all these perfectly dressed and manicured ladies in tesco, i'm sure their homes must be worse than mine, after all, they cant spend hours and hours on themselves and have a perfect house....."It is not uncommon for slight acquaintances to get married, but a couple really have to know each other to get divorced." - Anonymous

I feel extremly virtuous as my fruit bowl only contains fruit
Unfortunatly the rest of my house is an overflowing pig sty and I never seem to get on top of it. As soon as 1 small area is under control the rest just spirals further out of control :rotfl:Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

not done any cleaning tonight (or yesterday as it was sunday) the road outside is so icy no one will visit as it is unsafe to get to me at the moment!! reprieve or what.Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"0

I tried Flylady for a while when I lived in the states. There was only one problem. The site sent so many emails a day, I couldn't get any housework done for reading them all! Take the first step.
Even if you cannot see the whole staircase,
Just take the first step.

Are you casting aspersions on the highly organised and very housepround MSE flylady community? :rotfl: I can't think where you got the idea that we're not all domestic goddesses ...
justpeyton4now - the MSE flylady thread doesn't send you emails, so it might be worth a try. It's made a huge difference to my house (and my finances, I actually manage to bank the occasional cheque and pay my bills on time!), even though some weeks I get next to nothing done due to work commitments.0
