Is your house even clean since you began studying?

I feel like I'm constantly living in a pigsty. When ever I got any spare time in between assignments I tend to devote it to my dd. I do try to do one good clean on the weekend but during the week I seem to get very little done.

The worst thing is I'm only doing an Access course at the moment. Can you imagine how it's going to look when I begin uni?

Please tell me I'm not alone

I only study part time, but IMO it's the perfect excuse. Hurrah!

My house is usually tidy (but it is small) but clean? Not so much!

Actually I have my last exam tomorrow (have done the teenist bit of revision and find I barely care ) and then the next week and a half, which we have off, I plan to spend cleaning!

I study FT and work PT and no my house is never clean or tidy! It wasnt very clean or tidy beforehand and now it is just a disaster zone!

Lol, well I am going out on Saturday night... but the rest of the time, honest, I'll be cleaning!

belgianmama · 23/01/2007 21:36

My house is equally messy. I tidy every once in a while, but proper cleaning hasn't really happened since we had to sack the cleaners due to the cost of them.
If I were a bit more organised I suppose I could actually fit cleaning in, but sometimes telly just takes priority!

I completed a 2 year diploma coure last October, during that time I tended to do housework, gardening, cake baking, cupboard cleaning anything really, rather than studying. Consequently the studying then became a "burning the candle at both ends" task. I'm starting another course next week and I'm planning on concentrating on the studies, I hate the pressure of leaving things until the last minute. The housework will have to wait!

moondog -slight hijack- are you going back to your job as a SALT? im still hoping to apply for the city salt post grad (when i get rid of that lodger and kill dh)!

Lwatkins · 24/01/2007 17:42

I'm a bit of a clean freak but not tidy, i cant stand the thought of dirt. So my room is always clean, but a bit of a mess.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 24/01/2007 17:46

Mines a cluttered tip (although can't be actually dirty underneath the clutter because I never let any room go that long without a clean-up of some kind.)

We are moving soon and I am going to have LESS CLUTTER!!!! There is just no point in it all! However, have yet to work out how a person is supposed to move house and keep up with studying schedule/assignments... moving house is apparently not an adequate reason for late assigments/substitution according to the OU...

moondog · 24/01/2007 18:54

yES FC.
Next week.
No way will you be able to do the course with that arse in yer house.

frenchconnection · 25/01/2007 10:49

Which arse... the unofficial lodger or my dh?

Coathanger · 25/01/2007 19:40

Finished my access course in December, and I thought, after spending a year living in a pigsty, I would catch up with it all in between finishing the course and beginning my Midwifery degree in February.....Here I am, and 3 weeks til I start uni, and house is still a mess!!! I am soooo beyond spending time doing mundane housework, it seems unimportant....need to use my brain instead

Indith · 25/01/2007 19:48

Well the bedroom is always a mess but that happens with 2 students, 2 desks, 2 computers, 3 bookshelves and stacks of paper, journals etc. Think is more the arrival of Ds that has caused mess in the rest of the flat though!
