Cleaning....

I have to admit that the combination of hot weather, loads of people visiting and school holidays has slightly thrown my...err... cleaning rota.  To be totally honest, cleaning is rarely top of my agenda, in fact I loathe it, I think may be it's because I wait until we are drowning in chaos and go on a 16 hour binge, and like anything in life, the little and often approach is more manageable and long term.

Today though, was very different, I started the purge at 8am and kept going non-stop until 5.30.  And I enjoyed every minute.  Probably because I have been on my own all day, so what I finished, stayed done rather than the Sisyphus-like ever repeating chores.

I'm going to try to this....

Since I don't have some of these things/places, it means I get some days off so I think I can manage it.

Going forward, I'm going to follow this guide....

 ...I know it is pathetic to need this, but I worked in an office for 20 years and paid someone else to do the above.  And I'm by no means belittling it, being good at cleaning is a skill which is much more useful in real life than what I did for a living. 

This is my commitment to become a domestic goddess!
