it gets so overwhelming to look around and feel like crap where to start???
do one job a day- the toilet one day, the basins another, floors another, change beds another blah blah
also get baskets to go around the house- you know the ikea collaspable ones and chuck the toys there. they are great as when people come over at short notice you can pick up everything at once and just dump them in the baskets!!!

Keep up with the washing as that just gets out of control soo easily- my dryer is my best friend- i do at least 3 loads a day and i have a 10kg washer!! I have an ironing lady who i love! My ironing usually costs me around $10 a week to get done and not worth me spending hours doing for such a small cost!

to get it under control to start with get DH to take the kiddies out for a couple of hours on the weekend and blitz it in one swoop. Once its done then i will be easy to maintain.

also do things to make it easier to maintain. Buy those harpic tablets that you put in the loo cistern that clean to loo when they flush- they work great and the kids cant grab them like they can those hanging things. You can get wipes called method wipes- they are a natural cleaner wipe that you can keep in the bathroom and quickly use to wash over the basins and then they flush- easy and quick to use! Buy the method daily shower clean and use it several times a week when you shower and it keeps the shower pretty!

get that nanny of your to pull her finger out and start cleaning up a bit!! you should really be coming home to a tidy house- i would be expected her to at least have the kids stuff put away and tidied before she leaves. It should be only your personal stuff and the heavy cleaning like bathrooms etc that you should be doing. Maybe she pull her weight rather than being on FB!!

btw having a 3rd adds heaps of extra mess and work- i was so surprised how much it went up when boof came along-esp the washing. Also, having a place for everything makes a big difference. Good storage, containers for everything etc means a place for everything and then everything in its place lol!!

hang in there hun- its just a matter of getting it all happening with a rhythm and at the moment you are trying to find your rhythm still
it will happen, but you just have to get it under control first
