I decided to give myself a kick up the bottom today and finally tackle some of the housework that needed doing. I have been a slovenly b*gger for weeks, and it's a good job I haven't had guests because the house has been a pit. The only visitors I've had since Christmas are my mum, dad and Sparks, and they all know I'm not a housework kinda girl and love me anyway.
I started off in the bathroom as it needed less work, I reckoned that if I broke myself in gently I would build up a head of steam and finish the job. I put the housework songs cd on and sang along (badly) whilst working. I have bottomed the bathroom and living room, the kitchen has had a catlick, as has my bedroom. The back bedroom remains untouched but I can't do much in there at the moment. I have my old clothes maden in there, I have done 3 wash loads and I have loads of stuff hanging around drying in there. It looks like a laundry at the moment, I have even washed all of the dog's bedding.
I have hoovered throughout the house and had to empty the dyson twice, I could have knitted another dog with all of the hairs that were in there. I always make the excuse that if I didn't have the mutt my house would be clean all of the time, no hairs, muddy paw prints, chew toys and smell of dog farts. I know that it wouldn't stay clean without the dog though. I would probably clean up a lot less and I would be lonely without my little buddy.
I'm fed up with cleaning now though, so I have stopped. The curtains could do with a wash and the insides of my windows could do with cleaning, but I reckon I've done enough for today. I certainly won't be tackling them tomorrow, it's mum's birthday and we are all going out for lunch. Happy birthday mum...
