Who else is sat on here avoiding the mess the kids have made that you should have tidied hours ago?

Just me then?

just getting DS1 off to bed, and having a break then I'll be carrying on - reckon I've got at least 2/3 more 15 minute blitzes just to make the rest of the lounge/diner and kitchen look ok

Having a break sounds good!

definitley - in my defence (of the mess)

I've been out almost all day every day so far this week - so once I've been back with the DS's - and they've finished trashing it more and gone to bed I've been too tired to do anything about it

I've tidied and cleaned this evening.
The place was a complete pigsty and my mum's coming tomorrow. So I enlisted the boys' help and we've done the kitchen, breakfast room, lounge, their bedroom and playroom.

Phew! I'm really pleased with myself and them.

I wish I could motivate myself to do a bit every evening though, but I'm usually so tired after work I just can't be bothered.

I have to do it, its has to be imaculate (or as near to) because I'm a childminder and I need it to be clean for dc's the next day, don't want them crawling on a dirty floor or parents coming and it being a total tip, I'd be mortified thoguh I have warned them the tidiness might slip over the summer hols when I've got more dc's and am too tired at the end of everyday to keep it this tidy!
