    Cool Am i the only one?

    Just wondering if its just me who is stuck doing housework all day.....

    I have about 10 loads of washing to do, only because our washing machine is teeny tiny and to do a basket full thats 3 loads... i know if i did washing everyday that it wouldn't pile up so much.

    Come on rub in what your exciting plans for today are

    I do dishes and a clean up of the loungeroom everyday. Washing gets done once a week usually but because we have all been sick i fell behind. Feels like i always have stacks of washing to do!

    I also have to vacuum and mop everyday, though have been slack with the mopping.

    I'm on a cleaning rampage today only because the kids have gone back to school and it's so hard getting things done when they are home.

    Regards,
    Dianne

    Washing, folding, stuffing nappies, cooking dinner, attempting to do some school work before I go back to work tomorrow (I teach 3 days per week). Laundry happens every day here and with the lousy weather there's stuff hung all over the place! Laundry is my preferred household chore though - hate cleaning the bathroom and vaccuuming.

    Chuck on some good music and try not to think about it xox

    Wanna hear something really strange!?

    I LOVE doing the dishes! I find it really therapeutic and i especially like doing them when im upset or cranky as i scrub those pans like nothing else and its a good way to relieve stress! I'm just bummed that i don't have very much to do!

    Nope, I clean something everyday! I try to make sure I at least do 1 load of washing, empty/fill the dishwasher, clean the kitchen a few times a day, wipe over the loos and bathroom benches and a general tidy up of the house. Vaccing gets done sporadically as it's needed. Folding clothes often gets left behind, all dumped into the spare room and it builds up until I can get in there without little 'helpers'. The rest gets done when I think of it or have a spare () minute!

    Yeeeep, another full day of housework here - it never ends! I have two loads of washing on the line to bring in and fold, another ready to go out and yet another in the washing machine atm (don't even get me started on the full hamper that's still gotta be sorted and washed!), three bedrooms to clean, the bathroom is due AGAIN (how it gets so filthy, so quickly, I'll never understand), last night's dishes to wash up, and a trip to the post office to mail out some stuff I sold on eBay. Riveting stuff :/ Ah well... I should really stop putting it off and go do it hahaha, waahhhh!

    Heh. We're getting a cleaner. DD feeds every 1-1.5 hours, usually for about 30 minutes, so I'm getting like half an hour breaks over here. I'd rather sleep or shower or go out! DH has always done 90% of the cleaning and washing, me the cooking and budgeting. So we decided screw it, we're getting a cleaner in! Can't wait I despise cleaning, I'm pretty domestically challenged.

    With seven kids on my own there is ALWAYS housework to do
    I want to get my floors mopped, sheets changed and the big pile of folding done this morning.
    I made a start on sugar soaping the walls yesterday so would like to do a bit more on those.
    And the little ones and I are going to get outside this afternoon and put our vegie garden in

    We considered hiring a cleaner, well by cleaner i mean a lady DP knows who runs her own cleaning business so we were going to get her to come in once a week just to help me out. That was when i was working 5 days a week working nights but now that im working 3 full days i am able to do the housework (hopefully!)

    RainbowBrite- That reminds me i need to tidy up my garden beds and the lawn needs to be mowed one day...

    Ive lost all my motivation too! I collected all the washing from around the house and dried a load from last night and put another on and i just feel thats enough. There is no point, ive decided, in cleaning the loungeroom while DD is awake so might wait until she goes to bed tonight to tidy up.

    The house doesn't look TOO bad if someone was to drop by i wouldn't feel embarassed so for now im ok with it.

    I'm thinking of curling up on the lounge and watching some more packed to the rafters.

    Usually the same here. Clean during the day, working at night - no wonder I'm so tired all the time *yawns*
