Upkeep of house

None of us have been keeping up with the everything during the hot weather - and that applies to young as well as old.

Just accept that in exceptional circumstances. our usual routines get disturbed and things get neglected, and when those exceptional circumstances end things will gently return to normal.

My home currently looks as if a dust bomb has hit it. That is because we bought a project house a year ago and currently have a constant stream of builders doing dust making activities. I am just accepting that my house will remain so until the work is finished, just going round and doing a bit of dusting when it gets too obvious. When the work is complete I will do a a thorough clean - and get back to normal

My house is looking chaotic at the moment after the heat, my DH to care for, and a family crisis taking up most of my time. But I have learned to ‘triage’, do the work that is most urgent and most visible first. Then do other jobs at my leisure.
Thankfully did loads of decluttering a while ago and only have a back yard rather than a garden to care for.
And strangely when family or friends visit I always apologise for any mess but they always say how lovely the house looks.

I do my housework every day between 8 and 8:15am whether it needs it or not.

Like your style 😂.

I sympathise Dolly. Old age and a bad back mean that I'm not keeping up either. I do my best but it's not perfect by a long way.
I like your idea, FriedGreenTomatoes. Made me laugh.
