How is your house at this moment in time.

[HadABadDay2014]

Do you feel like housework is never ending.

I don't know how friends and family I visit homes look so clean and tidy, where mine is always messy and disorganised.

I tend to spend an hour or two a day just keeping on top of the house work, but come the evening it looks like I have done nothing.

I'm moving out today. House is nearly empty and needs a serious clean

It's messy again. I cleaned the place from top to bottom for visitors yesterday morning. Since then DD (10 mo) has had breakfast (most of which is on the floor) and the cats seem to have shed an entire coats worth of hair onto my hoovered floor. The bathroom is manky again and the kitchen needs cleaned down after only a single meal being made in it.

Never. Fucking. Ending.

My house is a tip because me and baby are chilling on the sofa, in fact itlooks liklike toysrus threw up in here, seriously how far does duplo travel? I also need to do washing
we joke here that the only invite people over so we tidy up!!

It's clean now! All but a few boxes have gone to be shipped. We have the necessities, but it's feeling pretty empty and therefore bigger. Feels quite dull, obviously, but I quite like it.

My living room is lovely and tidy.

My kitchen was but I am now cooking tea but apart from the kids lunch boxes on the worktops waiting to be sorted and the stuff I have used to make tea it is nice and tidy.

The bedrooms? complete tip. I don't bother much with the kids room, it is their space and when they get sick of it they will tidy it. As long as it isn't unhygienic then I just shut the door.

My bathroom needs a quick clean.

All floors are clean and free of crumbs.

Not too bad except for the kitchen floor which is currently sporting a set of muddy paw prints from one end to the other.

The floors seriously need a vacuum (cleaner coming tomorrow morning) but it is relatively clutter free as I decluttered and cleaned surfaces this morning. I need to put away loads of laundry as well.

Spotless ATM not been in today and getting a takeaway

Bloody horrible. I need to have a massive declutter but I barely get time to keep on top of the basics let alone do a proper clear out.

I normally don't work Fridays but I've been on a training course today so it's even worse than usual .

Fisher price explosion in the living room
Pile of bottles to be washed and sterilised in kitchen sink
Laundry basket full, needs to go in the washing machine
Really really need to mop the downstairs floors but not had a chance with baby and toddler
Kids just off to sleep so looks like my Friday night will be taken up with dealing with the above !
Really wish I could just leave it all and go for a bath :(

Oh mumsnet I love you. Although unusually tidy today, inside a big effort , I feel it is like shovelling snow in a blizzard. It will be a star by Monday of that I can be sure.
Glad I keep such good company ??

Toys all over the living room floor. Bedrooms need tidying and so does the bathroom. Going to do it tomorrow. Laundry needs doing too. But overall it's not too bad.

ds2 is headbutting an screeching ds1 is encouraging it and scratching his ass teen in the kitchen moody as hell and housework EVERYWHERE im avoiding on here :-(

shovelling snow in a blizzard

perfect analogy, thanks for that.

in Hungary we say "throwing peas onto a wall" to describe a futile effort - as the peas would just roll down, you'd spend all that energy but have no results to show at the end.

Clean and tidy on the surface, but in need of a good spring clean!
