Sallya Report post Posted January 22, 2008 Do you ever get home from the school run, step in your front door, have a look around the total chaos and think someone has set a scud missile off indoors? and then do you spend the morning doing everything BUT the housework and decide to tackle it tomorrow ? I do every day s xxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley Report post Posted January 22, 2008 I wish i could! I am strangely monica-ish-tidy I can't settle or relax until everything's organised and calm. I'm quite a combination really - mix of minimalist calm and kitschy stuff i've found along the way hanging, and dotted about the house, that are allowed coz they is preddy! M's room is the picture of perfection - i've no idea where he gets it from........... It drives everyone but me and monkey crackers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichelleW Report post Posted January 22, 2008 I just don't seem to have time for housework! I get home from work and picking kids up, cook a dinner (roast or fish/meat and veg from scratch usually- I try to avoid convenience food if possible!), attempt to feed kids - then collapse! Then there is homework and bathing kids, reading and I really should do more speech therapy/floortime with DS2 - so housework is usually last on the list - though I do fit in the essential cleaning (bathroom and kitchen!)

krystaltps Report post Posted January 22, 2008 I'm a bit like Smiley... but I do it all in a mad multi-tasking frenzy that lasts about half an hour. THEN I can put the kettle on and sit. No wait, the kettle gets put on while I'm finishing the ironing. Multi-task - it's much faster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wait, the kettle gets put on while I'm finishing the ironing. Multi-task - it's much faster. Lucky you! I don't have any multi-tasking skills at all, I have to concentrate on the one thing at a time. It can take me days to tidy our flat to my satisfaction, by that point the beginning part is messy again. I live with a very messy gf. We only live in a one bed flat!

I am now banned from emptying the bin while multi-tasking, as I have binned far too many things I'm not supposed to. AND that's just one example. But... at least it LOOKS tidy .

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted January 22, 2008 I like living at a low entropy! My mum often complains my mess ends up everywhere. Mind you so does hers when she is working. Paper's everywhere at the moment from talking to the solicitors dealing with my claim, on behalf of my insurance company, earlier today. Needed to give them lots of info. Not the best at been neat and organised. I'm better at work than at home though. At home just forever have to ask mum where she has tidied stuff to. Problem is she can't always remember.

My kind of girl, sounds like my day, if you took out the speech therapy/floortime with DS2 and replaced it with 30 literacy and 30 science books to mark. My house is scruffy and crowded, and the dust could be carbon-dated. The washing up is always done, kitchen and bathroom reasonably clean. And that's about it. OH is the laundry-wallah. My housework will get done properly when I retire in 2022. Or I might just move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted January 22, 2008 ...or playing on the wii with the kids hehe How long before 'Wii Clean' arrives do you recon? Want to practice your house work. Don't have enough to do. Now you can have fun cleaning with 'Wii Clean'. I'm sure it would be a big hit in Japan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
