    Hi,
    My name's Marcellus and it's been 2 months since I cleaned my house
    But I promise I'm going to get clean starting today.
    Or possibly next week, depending how today goes.
    Thank you.

    Hiiii Marcellus!

    I'm Tinks.

    It's been 1 week since I cleaned my house. The goggles from the 'what's on your loungeroom floor?' thread are still there

    I will make my house look like a display home this weekend! I promise

    Oooh me me me!

    Despite my 'best' intentions the house usually goes 2-3 weeks without being cleaned! (bathroom/toilet cleaned, vaccuming and mopping). And dont start on the dusting..urm maybe 4 times a year if it's lucky?

    I have an excuse not to mop now though, stupid dog was bouncing around outside and knocked it over so the plastic bit where the sponge goes broke and now the sponge won't stay on. DF did say he was going to buy me a steam mop for mother's day...I'm still waiting and so are my floors

    Hi all, my name is Glamourcide and my house is far from glamorous!
    It's been nearly a week since I mopped my floors... I haven't vacuumed the bedrooms in God-knows how long... :/ My bathroom floor is constantly damp and there's toothpaste on the mirror!
    My excuse is always that the baby decides to wake up every time I get stuck into cleaning, and I feel like a horrible mama if I stick her in her walker while I clean up!!

    OMG, I love you all for being lazy housekeepers.....thankyou for making me feel normal!!!

    My dishes are only washed because DH did them.

    My bed hasn't been changed for god knows how long. I too still have the sheets from last time I changed them in the bottom of the washing basket.

    I have 2 over flowing baskets of washed clothes to fold. One load in the dryer to get out. One load in the washing machine to rewash because I was too lazy to get out said load from the dryer. Then I have an overflowing basket of clothes to be washed...who knew we had sooo many clothes!

    I have half a big container of veggie soup int he fridge which I made about 2-3weeks ago that needs to be thrown out. Thankfully it doesn't smell yet. Maybe when it does it will make it to the bin...

    The only thing I have cleaned recently is the toilet and floor around it because DD peed all over the seat and floor

    The ensuite bathroom hasn't been cleaned in who knows how long. That's DH's responsibility though!

    The display cabinet is full of *****. I don't even know what's on it. I don't know what colour it is anymore it's been so long since I've seen it.


    Usually I'm a bit of a clean freak....but lately (is the last 6mths- at least!!) I have come to the realisation that really, who gives a ****. If I don't neither does DH, the kids clearly couldn't care less....it's only my mother and the little devil she's left on my shoulder telling me I'm lazy and that she's taught me better that really care....and you know what, I've got better things to do!

    Love it!

    Hi my name is Balmaingal and I've been aiming to get around to doing some cleaning since we decided that we could no longer afford our cleaners after their last visit almost 4 weeks ago.

    Since then I've mopped the kitchen floor a few times (only happened thanks to the mess DD makes when she eats) and squirted some toilet cleaner down the toilets. I've signed up to fly lady but my sink is still dull and water stained right now!

    I'd better get it into shape quick smart as I've got a friend from overseas arriving on Sunday morning!

    Hello my name is Marydean.

    My friends all think I clean my house but really I just dust and tell DH to vacuum the open access areas before anyone comes over. If you spray and wipe the kitchen about 3 minutes before your guests arrive the lemony scent subliminally suggests you are a functional housekeeper.

    The rest is a sty.

    My excuse is I've been trying hard to get a job so I can pay another person to do it for me.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that

    And here I was thinking I was the only one.........

    I too go on benders where i do a massive clean and it looks beautiful...then bang its a tornado again...I blame it on not liking where we live and the demanding kids :P

    My new house will be lovely and tidy....not nessecarily clean but it will be tidy

    My favourite saying ...A clean house is a sign of a wasted life
