Just noticed this thread...

Yes! Getting a dog definitely helps with spillages! Mine has been invaluable in the weaning process.

I can only get excited about housework when there's a full moon, then I get hyper and wash down woodwork, and damp dust and everything Blush

Oooh yes, we need a Bad Housekeeping section.

Sample Topics:

  • Sheets: do they really need changing?
  • At what point does dust become an interesting surface style?
  • Which clothes hide babysick best?
  • Would getting a dog to wipe up spills help?
