My mum is a proud clean freak. :]
She's the only reason we can pull off having as many animals as we have in the house!
I help, though. Daily chores are a must.

LMAO!!....... hahaha........ well I do wait for company to fully clean....
there is a saying here "clean where the MIL sees". which practically means just overall view, but in my case I have to clean even the most unthinkable place ever!!....
I HAVE to make the bed.... unless I´m in a hurry.... then I don´t :p
the dishes I TRY to wash as I use but sometimes I leave them till the end of the day.... or the next :rolleyes:
Moping/dusting/ironing every other day
Washing clothes once or twice a week
Vaccuming..... two or three times a day...... yeah this is my HAVE TO DO chore.... with the bird feathers and seeds.... :rolleyes:
I soooo use to "hide" stuff under beds, behind doors, or anyplace that can hold something hidden..... if you see my closet you can see a big pile of colors which unless you knew which is which clothe you´d freak LOL.... but I DO know, sooo....who cares??....
My house is always neat. I'm a nut case about it. I always put EVERYTHING away all the time. Nothing is ever out of place. I need help, I know. :rolleyes:
Now, I didn't say my house was always clean. It's never filthy, that would drive me crazy. But the carpets generally needed vacuumed, the floor needs mopped ... you know, pet stuff.
So, if I have company coming, I'll vacuum and mop, clean the bathroom extra well. Unless it's just my parents, they are used to me by now. lol
Oh my, none of you have seen my bunny room. Yes there are little black poopies here and there, hay is in the corner. Hair on the carpet, but it's their bedroom and they rule.
I have horrible pack rat tendencies so while my house is always clean, it looks like a disaster. When company comes I try to hide most of the junk. :o
clean one week in advance of company even if it was my only available day off? I'd have to get up extra early or clean again in between cooking.Quote:
Does anyone else?
I do like the look of a neat house and have been known to put unused softener sheets or a few drops of lysol in wastebaskets. I would probably do it the night before or soon before company arrived ;)
We generally clean once a week- except our bedroom which is always messy :o (though the dishes, sadly, need to be done more than once a week). But, we are generally sloppy in between cleanings so the house NEEDS it once a week. I do a far more complete job when company comes, though.
I never have company but I do keep the dishes and laundry up to date, the heavy work gets done when the arthritis permits it. I love seeing cat hair all over the place, feels more like home! :)
When you have kids it is impossible!In order to have a home that you can eat off the floors,That would mean i would have to follow them around and watch there every move****I REFUSE TO DO SO*****
My house is clean,But i have kids that use a different glass everytime they get a drink,So i always have dishes,But now they know to put it in the dishwasher.
I have a teenage daughter who is a disaster!!!Literally she did her laundry i told her for 2 days to get it out of the laundry room,It was moved from there to the upstairs hallway,So instead of her putting it away she started throwing her dirty laundry ontop of her clean.Makes no sence,So i got rather mad at her and told her she better move it the hallway is not a laundry basket.
Needless to say i have to scream at them to get there stuff done :rolleyes:
My space in the house is always cleaned,The kids on the other hand.....I hope they keep a better house when they have there own lol!!!
I'm afraid I am one of those people who loves simplicity and a clean, straight home, but I am the WORST housekeeper, ever. We just have too much stuff, period, and it drives me crazy!!! I wish Scott and I could have one week, no tv, no phone, no work obligations, and maybe even no pets, and go through this house, room by room, and clean up and clean out. It would be so much more manageable. Cleaning would be easier if there wasn't so much "stuff".
Did anyone watch Oprah yesterday about the hoarders? I have it recorded, and haven't watched it yet, but what little I saw makes me want to clean up right now so I'll never be accused of being like that lady. They are following up today.
My house is not filthy, too cluttered. I think I need Peter Walsh to come here and straighten me out. :o
LOL! that sounds very familiar. My youngest is a pretty good kid, typically on the ball, except when it comes to laundry. I prefer to wash and fold their laundry so I don't mind at all when she dumps a couple week's worth of laundry into the hamper at once. But what I DO mind is when I fold it and it sits on the sofa for a few days until Cameron scatters everything over the livingroom floor for the hundreth time and they move it to sit on the mantle. Then someone steals my laundry basket and puts the clothes from the mantle into the basket, where it moves to the hallway outside their bedroom door for a few days. They step over it every day a hundred times a day... do you think they could pick it up and take it with them? nooooooo. :rolleyes:Quote:

Anyway, I had off this morning too (only work a few hours tonight) and got OODLES of work done (even while babysitting Cam -- he's so helpful -- I would put one thing away and he'd be hading me something completely random. My favorite was being handed 3 hotdog rolls). I feel so accomplished! :D
Now all I have to do is tackle my office :eek: (I might be here all night)
