What gets you motivated to do the housework :)

[didispunk]

Just for me the thought of having a clean house, kids in bed.. me relaxed and ready for the next day.. I think is enough..

I cant stand mess!

[~TT40~]

Can't go wrong with some loud music to dance to while your doing it =D

Knowing that it is only 1hr before DH gets home from work Nah, seriously it's movtivation enough to know that if I get stuck in and get it all done first thing that I have the rest of the day to do whatever the heck I please.

I always do that!!! ill spend all day lounging on the couch and ill look at the time and see theres an hour before hes due home so i run around and i do all the cleaning and then when he walks in i sit down and make out i did it hours ago...

a big assignment/study that i should be doing... then cleaning becomes appealing and very important.

I agree with Trillian and Kate LMAO! Knowing its 30 minutes til Shel gets home, AND I have studyt to do, makes housework pretty appealing!

(not that I am doing much at the moment, Shel being SAHM for the past 2 weeks has made the house spotless, I'm in awe of her capabilities )

[Trillian]

Leash, why could she not do that before she was a SAHM? ROFL.

Routine.

Every morning I get up, have breaky and then spend some time cleaning. That way the house is always in a fairly good condition and I can start the day with a clean house.

Do it like that for long enough and the routine becomes the motivation.

This is me! I became an exceptionally good ironer when I had assignments to do. You see, if I was ironing, it was perfectly acceptable to watch the daytime soaps as I was "busy" and the assignments would wait until I wasn't "busy"...hahahaha

When im upset or really ticked off thats when i like to clean, i scrub those pots and pans really good and i scrub the floors while im having a cry..

[Astrolady]

Yeah I'm another hour before Andrew gets in LOL. I did housework this morning while he was out and you can't tell where i have been now, so why bother.

People coming over!!!
My kids have been known to say "Who's coming over?" if they see me cleaning and I have to enlighten them to the fact that sometimes mummy just cleans LOL

[~TT40~]

oh Kate!!
I agree with you, its some weird phenomonen that my house is always sparkling spotless clean when i have exams or an assignment due!!

[ss_storm]

when i get sick of walking on the crunchy bits all over the floor! Lol.

we've just moved house so at the moment still trying to unpack the last few things, then the house will get a good clean...I just find it hard trying to fit it in around DD, I dont want to vacuum while she is asleep because I don't want to wake her up, and if she did wake up I can't hear her over the noise (i did it once before and when i turned the vacuum off she was screaming in her cot ). I usually put her in her rocker and have her a little in front of me while i do it so can keep an eye on her but lately she doesnt like being in there for too long.
