Nothing wrong with running a tight ship is there divadee;) I'm nowhere near to your standard tho but I would guess I put in about 6 hours a day cleaning, cooking and laundry, meal planning, finances etc.
Mrs MATH claims my vac doubles as a life support and if I'm not attached to it for a couple of hours a day I will flatline.

I admit to vaccing the house daily. I used to do it twice daily but I've got a bit lazy in my old age and have trained myself to live with black/navy carpets and pale furred cats:eek:

My bathroom/kitchen are given a quick whip-over daily and and deep cleanse once a week.

I slat a duster about every other day (TV's everyday).

Towels changed every other day and beds once a week.

I iron bed linen but not towels, socks, pants or bras.

MATH,

I know you are already married, but if there is ever a vacancy please can I be interviewed for the position!!!!!!

SO did anyone see the programme, did she REALLY clean for 15 hours a day????? I don't seem to be able to stay awake for 15 hrs a day, let alone to do something for that long :rotfl:

Don't worry divadee, I'm with you on this.

My neighbour laughs at my hoovering antics. Its permantly plugged in ready to go and I hoover at least 3 times a day. I always hoover around the edges and the skirtings, as I cannot abide that dusty edge you see on some peoples carpets:eek: .

I clean the bathroom everyday, again sometimes twice, tidy up. In this house everything has a place and woe betide anyone who forgets that.

No seriously, we live in a very small house 2 bedroom, and at weekends & school holidays we fit 6 in here. If I wasn't tidy and organised, we fall over things. So it is just easier to keep it that way. I do find though that the general hosuework can be done in an hour as it's kept clean, and I just do odd jobs as and when.
Sometimes I try to rebel and not do it, but it just looks like students have moved in (no offence) and it just makes me miserable.
Of course thats always the time that someone knocks on the door isn't it:D

Well I did watch wife swap tonight-yes, my kids said she had OCD! But I feel sorry for her. I did think what a lovely lot they were though, all of them-not the usual slanging match and judgements at the end-just benefitted from the experience. That Lemmy was a softy tho ay!

Right- don't look at these pictures if you're a clean freak with a sensitive disposition. It's our front room about 2 hours ago, taken from both ends.

That's about as messy as it usually gets; 10 minutes of tidying later and having thrown out some rubbish it looks a fair bit better, and another 20 minutes tomorrow (including hoovering) and it'll be tidy enough to have guests over. The Dyson incidentally was rescued by my wife as her employer was throwing it out- but we've nowhere to store it so if anything it adds to the mess:rotfl:.

Incidentally the blue bag to the bottom right of the 2nd pic contains a 5kg bag of onions with which I intend to carry out my first experiments with C_Q's mystical sauce:).

They were quite normal weren't they?

But the best was when the Lizzie Bardsley (with Dominik Diamond), met Barrie and Michelle (from Wife Swap) in Bed and Bardsley.

Absolutely hilarious

I liked them all too angel. I hate the ones where the wives (why is it always the wives?) are at loggerheads.

A tip that works for me:

Spray lots of polish around at 5.00pm, then when Mr P-w arrives home he sniffs the air and congratulates me on how clean the house looks! :rolleyes:

It's not exactly old style, but it's never failed yet!
