Those who have a house cleaner...

Same as the others, I tidy up. DD is responsible for tidying up her bedroom and the playroom/toys. It's an incentive - I tell her if she doesn't tidy it away then how can Annie clean properly and she runs the risk of losing things up the vacuum cleaner.

I also make sure I take out all the rubbish and if I can do the washing up so that the kitchen is completely clean. If I don't get a chance, Annie does it for me.

Love the container in the bathroom idea, I often put almost all of our toiletries in the drawers but there is always something still on the bench. Also like the paperwork container on the bench idea.

This is what one of my mum's does too
