keep up with housework

I’m aiming for one … erm … aim a month. Hopefully by the end of the year all 12 will be habits.

This month’s aim will be keeping up with the dishes. At some point in every day there will be no dirty dishes in the house.

This weekend I have managed to get the house mostly tidy. I now want to keep it that way. I am still aiming for that ‘tidy enough to invite someone in for a cup of tea’ level.

Basically, I want to get (and keep) the house in a state that if a neighbour knocks on the door, I’ll be happy to say ‘why not come in for a cup of tea’. I’m currently far too embarrassed by the mess to contemplate doing this. I need at least a day’s notice before anyone can come to the house.
