Ok so I've always been messy. Untidy. But not to 'Hoarders' extremes, just a bit too much stuff and lack organisation. Throw in a messy divorce, 2 kids (10 & 13) who don't see their dad), a full time job and I just can't keep on top of things. I had a visit from a professional home organiser 6 months ago and we went through the house over the course of a couple of days decluttering. Lots of trips to the tip/charity shops later and I now only have things I need and love and everything in theory has a place..
But. I can't maintain it. I know I should do it little and often, but I can't. I've literally spent all day today doing housework and I'm not halfway there.
So how long do you lovely people spend keeping your homes tidy and clean, spick and span, all the jobs done including keeping on top of the little garden jobs, over the course of a week? Average 3 bed semi, only one loo.
I'm just clueless, and embarrassed that I haven't got the foggiest idea about how long we should spend keeping the place looking nice!
