I drew up a housework rota so that different things were dedicated to different days to make things easier. Now we've had this rota for about 3 weeks and so far it's been completely and utterly ignored.
This week I was full of great intentions to do as it said and keep to the rota, has it worked? Nope!
Ok well the dishes have gotten done each night but that's always been the case more-or-less unless we have to go out but that's all. The kitchen hasn't had the thorough cleaning it deserves and other than the floor getting a hoover on Sunday (not the day for hoovering I might add) nothing else has happened to the living room and boy does it need it. The upstairs rooms have only been ventured in at night when we're going to bed but that's about it.
Really need to get a wriggle on and get stuff done.
Part of the problem is that hubbie is working the early shift this week so we're getting to spend some time together which is rare at the mo with him working as much as possible and doing housework means that we'll get to spend less time together. Is that a good excuse?
It's not really but it's the only one I've got!
So what are the chances i might actually get something done tonight while he's changing the tyres on his car or maybe he'll go down to my parent's house and footer about with the car along with my Daddy, if he does that then I'll get as much housework done as possible but the chances are pretty slim. If it rains there's no hope.
I'm making it sound like our house is a tip and it's not, it could really be worse but with two cats running about that like to jump onto things and knock things over the place does get a bit untidy now and again. I'd be the biggest culprit for messing the kitchen up when I'm baking but I've never managed to bake and keep tidy at the same time, utterly impossible for me. I'm not good at tidying up after myself, that's what I got married for my hubbie jokes, but it's true, he does tidy up after me while I bake but then he knows that he'll get to taste everything I make if he does a few bits about the kitchen for me so it works out good for the both of us.
Wonder what I shall tackle tonight when I get in, maybe the fridge depending on what the rota will allow for tonight. Will see.
