Bedding - fortnightly unless 40 degree days, then weekly
PJs- every other day
Bra - daily
Washing up sponge - new one daily, as is T-towel.

MrsMuddyPuddles · 06/04/2012 16:06

Why have all the non-slaterns answered this? :o

  1. Wash your hair - at least once a week, 2-3 times if I'm lucky
  2. Shower/bath your body - ditto
  3. Wash the floors - um...
  4. Hoover - when the floor looks dirty, at least once a week but depends
  5. Change your bedding - when I'm doing well, weekly. When I'm down... um... (actually, my mental health really influences how many things get done. And having a tidy flat makes me feel less depressed. it's a visceous circle.)
  6. Change your PJs - when they smell/about weekly
  7. Change your bra - I rotate between 3-4, and put them to wash as and when they smell
  8. Change the washing up sponge - it varies from every other day to every couple weeks (DH hasn't quite grasped that these things grow bacteria, and we argue over me binning them/nuking them to kill the bacteria and making them fall to bits)
  9. Change the t-towel - every couple days
10. Clean the toilet seat and inside the toilet? - people clean the toilet seat? Is their aim that poor then? Inside is fornightly-ish. I aim for weekly and miss. Blush

I'm generally feeling Blush about all this, everone else is so much more organized more hygenic than I am my family is!
