My floors are mopped daily, bathrooms and toilets cleaned, the washing basket is always empty, clothes folded and ironed and there's never dirty dishes in the sink..... But before you shoot yourself in the foot......

We have a full time house keeper as part of DH's job package. You should have seen the pigsty I used to live in. It would be lucky to be cleaned once a week thoroughly, it usually took the threat of visitors to get it spotless!

Seriously, one lady works from 7-4:15 every day at my place and still sometimes doesn't get it all done if I don't help out a bit. It's a lot of work keeping on top of the housework. But I do find, when I have to do housework, that doing it in 5 min blocks, like the flylady suggests, does help me.
