I prefer the Quentin Crisp approach to housework.

My wife, on the other hand prefers to get someone else to do it.

I might be BI then. I like Quentin, but I like your wifes approach too.

It depends on how much traffic you have, the type of floor, if you let people walk around in their outdoor shoes, and how often you sweep them.

Oh my, don't be too hard on yourself.

In the greater picture if you miss a few weeks, it won't matter.

You have always come here being full of life and joy, in fact I think you lift the spirits of many with your brightness of life.

I think you are are over thinking the cleaning aspects, possibly due to more time on your hands?

Housework! .......... Wash you mouth! Hate it, and try to avoid it as much as possible.

I did once buy a Shannon Lush book that apparently had a "recipe" to keep your house perfect, but it took too much discipline for me 😄

I find expecting visitors is the best method for house cleaning 😋

Thanks guys. That is the only method that works for me (visitors) run around like a ble **bleep**d fly.

I did just wonder if there was some sort of keep on top of everything regime.

I have a friend who I refer to as Mrs Neat. She cleans her house top to toe every day. I used to worry about what she thought when she visits me, but now I don't care. I figure if she didn't like it she wouldn't come.

Actually in all seriousness, that book I mentioned was probably pretty good - just not for me.

Do do you want it?

I think I need it

But if it's all vinegar and bicarb it wont cut the mustard.

You clean the floors when they stick to your feet and tidy up when you can't find your glasses.

I'm serious, though. What do domestic godesses do. And the slackers amongst us.

If I were to pay a cleaner what couldIi expect to be done in two hours?

I have a daughter who is Mrs neat

And my mother was exactly the same

The strange thing about it was you never

Actually saw either one of them do

Any housework

Unfortunately that gene by passed me

And have always found it tedious boring

And very difficult to stay on top of

When my girls were young I used to do

It at night when they were asleep

So at least you wroke to a tidy house

I think the secret is to train everyone

Else in the house to pick up after themselves

And add them to the roster of chores

So that you don't spend all your time

Running around in circles picking up everyone

Else's mess giving you more time

For actually cleaning

Ah, that depends on who you employ. Some are good workers and some are not. and wages can vary I think.
