I come home exhausted. I try to at least do the basics, put mess away, keep on top of dishes and clothes, wipe kitchen surfaces and toilet. I'll dust and vacuum when needed. But I feel like I'm failing because I can never do it all. I'm surrounded by little jobs I know I'll never get round to: dusty nooks and crannies, the most random things that attract dust (spice rack? Inside the cutlery drawer?!), fabrics that could do with a wash such as curtains, grimy corners of tiles, bins, oven etc. The whole house feels so lived in and never special. But by the time I get home and cook/eat/wash up/do a couple of other things, I'm spent.
Where should the balance be? What's actually feasible?
