My house has not been dirty, but has been untidy for about 2 years while my husband was at university & I was working full time. OH was meant to be house husband. He is an academic person, not a practical person so this was a BAD IDEA. He often seemed to make more mess than he tidied. I’m not blaming him completely – I’m an untidy person too.
We got into a routine of living with the mess during the week & doing a big clean at the weekends then messing it up again the following week.
Now I’ve bought a horse, which lives in MIL field – a two hour drive away. We visit every weekend we can – which means the house is even more neglected.
We need to establish a routine of housework – doing just a bit every day. OH has his HND now and getting into a cleaning routine should be easier once he has started work as he won’t be around all day to mess the house up – when we were both working we used to be quite tidy.
My first goal is to try and unpack the dishwasher as soon as it has finished and to repack it as we go along – rather than leaving the dishes all over the kitchen (and the rest of the house =D).
