Boring!!!!!

Well I know I've been slack with posting but it got a bit hectic around Aliya's birthday - I need to get some photos off the family of her party and cake which wasn't quite the masterpiece i envisioned with all the extra people in the house but that's ok.

Basically I have nothing interesting to post after everyone left town again I got a head cold and have done a whole lot of nothing and have just realised I've become so boring I am actually reading Martha Stewarts home-keeping tips on her website!!!  Now some of you are probably thinking 'good on you everyone should have a well ordered clean house' I think that too when I'm reading all these tips or plans to 'turn your house around in 1 year using easy steps'.  Reading this makes it so easy and do-able and me......well motivated UNTIL it comes to actually doing it!  I seriously need to stay off these sites!!!  Now not only do I go to bed with a list of things to do the next day like groceries, laundry, dishes.... you know the usual stuff but now I'm losing sleep over how to organize the gazillion clothes i have, what to keep, sell, biff or donate, items i want to replace and the items i cant afford to replace them with as well as crazy things like how often i should be cleaning the oven, the vacuum filter (which i only found out it had after i lent it out) or the washing machine - seriously you would think a washing machine of all things would keep itself clean.

How the heck did I not die of the plague or other disease during my flatting years when i didn't know about any of this 'essential cleaning' that Martha has on her daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal to do lists!

Oh well now that I've bored you all and sounded like a crazy person I'm off...............................yes straight back to Martha or the next site that makes it all sound easy until i actually have to get off my arse and stop reading about it ;)

  1. Prime example - Martha's tips to preventative cleaning

    Step 1 - Make the beds daily
    Nice and easy i can do this in fact i already do this most mornings

    Step 2 - Manage clutter Whenever you leave a room, take a quick look around for anything that isn't where it should be. Pick it up and put it where it belongs.

    Well now I'm screwed, its good in theory once the house is already in its organized perfect Martha state but shit at this stage i just don't have a big enough box to remove everything from the room that doesn't belong!!!!!

    Time for the next sit or blog that promises its easy..........
