I feel like a domestic goddess!

I also made some disastrous banana muffins; DGD (age 4) ate half of one, so I said to her that I would get her to help me next time. She said 'Yes, and we should use better ingredients next time'

Love this thread! Now I realize I'm not the only one ! Do you realize dust only gets so thick then stops growing? After all you never see inches thick dust do you? So why worry about removing it every day (or however often you are supposed to remove it !)
As to the sticky oil ,I keep mine in plastic food trays which can be thrown away when dirty thereby removing the necessity to even wash them !
Oh are you supposed to Hoover under the beds as well !

Feel qualifies to post here today as I have two lots of washing out on the line instead of using the tumble dryer, hope everything dries as it is not that warm.

Thanks to Jingl my kitchen floor is lovely and clean! I got one of the steam cleaners from Argos, and was shocked at just how much muck came off the tiles! It was far easier on my back and knees than crawling round with a bowl of hot water and a cloth!
Today I have three loads of washing on the line, all of them done before 8-30 this morning, so that's my domestic goddess bit done for at least the next six months....back to being a slut

I bought a mop too, thanks to jinglebellsfrocks recommendation, it's brilliant and I hate cleaning, infact have to confess to slight slutty tendencies!

Can one be a domestic goddess if one writes lists of chores to be done ?
Not if one leaves endless lists and bits of paper with 'things to do' or 'shopping' on them lying all around the kitchen and elsewhere (like me)
(Then can't find the list I need)

Should've bought one of those mops from Argos; in fact I mentioned it but DH said 'and where do you think you're going to put it? something else to clutter up the place'

Does this much-recommended mop deal with windows? They are my bugbear and now that it's been sunny on quite a few days, the accumulated grease and dust on the kitchen window is embarrassing.

Why can't I order it, do I have to create an account?

I'm with Joan Rivers and Quenington Crisp on this one.
SHE said 'you scrub, you sweep, you dust you clean...and what do you know? Six months later you've got to do it all again!'
HE said 'After the first four years the dust doesn't get any thicker..'
Sound like a slut, don't I! Trouble is that with osteoarthritis in both hands and chronic M.E. I rarely get to finish any chore on the same day I started it. I miss the satisfaction of turning out a room or three while the kids were at school and having them come home to a gleaming tidy house with fresh baking cooling on the side while their home cooked dinner was on the stove. Those were my goddess days!

When younger I developed the habit of wiping around my front door with smelly cleaner so my visiting MiL would get a whiff - first impressions linger! If one room is tidy and not in obvious need of cleaning, I'm pleased with myself. Bed linen changing day, the house thoroughly aired with open windows, sunny-day, line-dried washing makes me feel virtuous, as does a freshly cleaned floor- a room does feel cleaner, air better, when it's been freshly "hovered"

It's Quentin Crisp NanaRayna. Wonderful, very intelligent man. He was one of our models at art school. So I should fully embrace his philosophy on cleaning.

It's so sad that it's only what you haven't done that shows, or that people notice.

Me, with dustpan and brush on the stairs.

Small son: Why are you doing that, Mummy? Is somebody coming to stay?

A friend of mine found her son's junior school tie at the bottom of the linen basket. He was 36 at the time!
