With rivers to swim and mountains to climb,
Music to hear and books to read,
Friends to cherish and life to lead.

Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come 'round again.

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not always kind.
And when you go and go you must,
You, yourself, will make more dust.

I like that,

You would be surprised though, the amount of people who on their deathbed uttered their final few words "I wish I done more cleaning"

I do the cooking and washing up too. Jeez...

I guess I value my free time more than I do a clean house

Yup, that's what she says.

Honestly? Hate cleaning. Absolutely HATE it.

I pay someone $30 to clean my apartment for me once a week. Best money I spend. I figure it saves me money since I never feel too overwhelmed by the state of the house to cook - so we almost never eat out or pick up food.

Hmmm... I don't like the idea of a stranger rummaging around my house.. I'm one of those people who throws a hissy fit when things aren't where they're supposed to be. I'm also critical of what some people call clean Okay I'm an obsessive compulsive freak.
But if a cleaner works for you, great. Must be heaven.

Oh this thread is giving me a serious itch to clean
you wouldnt mind but I cleared out my wardrobe and cupboard and brought up my old clothes and got 25eur cash for them)80c per kilo.

We are having a massive spring clean/clear out of "unwanted stuff, currently at three boxes of books, and four black bags of clothes, bags and shoes"

Next step, the carpet cleaners are coming in, the windows are being washed and after that I'm going to clean the oven, and get a cleaner in once a month to do everything we are too lazy to do.

Cleaner and clean house costs one night out, so worth it for me these days

My German flatmate is on holiday in Argentina, and she emailed us the other day about cleaning Hello stereotypes! Does she not have better things to do on holidays?

I have to face a lot of problem due to dog and cats So, what's the soloution????

[saim1122]

Actually everyone wana clean their house or etc but whose's company is beleiveable here ?

[kylith]

My house gets a proper clean whenever my mum is coming to visit That's because she does stuff like check behind the toilet, mad aul' wan.

I'm going to be changing from carpet to lino in my living room soon. I have two dogs and the hair in the carpet is unbearable. Laminate would be too noisy with their claws, so lino it is. I'm really looking forward to it

This thread is terrifying!

I'd love to have a clean house all the time too but it's just not worth all that time that could be spent living life

I try and keep on top of things but generally I don't spend a lot time cleaning.

During the christmas hols last year one of my friends was on the way to my house with her son for sleepover, wine for the grownups dvds for the kids, while on the phone I said to her my house was in a bit of state(she herself is clean freak and likes everything in its place - me not so much) to which she promplty replied - 'I am calling to see you, not your house!'
