Those who have a house cleaner...

Thank you girls, very helpful. I want it to be easy for her but the thought of going through all this stuff that has accumulated was quite daunting! Great idea about popping it all into a basket for the time being, I can do that

I do a tidy up, but we don't have a lot of clutter around our place anyway. I will sometimes put things up on the beds if I have time, will try and put everything that has accumulated on the vanity during the week away too. I don't move things off bookcases etc if that is their usual place. I prefer to tidy up before than try to find where the cleaner has put them afterwards.

I have piles of crap around place and i put all washing needing put away in DS2 cot before she comes.

We do a tidy up. Get everything off the floor. Put the dining chairs up, move washing etc. sometimes that involves chucking things on a bed. I've started doing that container thing willow mentioned in the kitchen for the million of vitamins we leave out. I need to do it for bathroom things.

I still feel like a bit of a slob when the cleaner sees my untidy desk.

I try to make it as easy as possibly... with 3 kids around
