Our house is very tidy at the moment, have had real estate agents here so we can list it. It was really messy and dirty tho, been doing a few renovations to get it ready to sell.
Usually it pretty clean and tidy except for when James pulls out ALL his toys. ]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2007 16:25:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175829&title=how-tidy-is-your#175829 <![CDATA[How tidy is your... : um, washing is done, but am trying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175824&title=how-tidy-is-your#175824 Author: Rackhell

um, washing is done, but am trying to be more conscientious when it comes to using the dryer, so living room is festooned with sheets, towels etc hanging off clothes horses.

Apart from that, place is tidy and is cleanish. Usually pick a room each day and clean/tidy that. Pick a chore each day and do that. Not fetishist about implement/utensil polishing and think garages are places to store junk.

It's one of those little things around the house that I can control, which vaguely offsets DH's shoes! ]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:28:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175674&title=how-tidy-is-your#175674 <![CDATA[How tidy is your... : ginger wrote:I&#039;m really...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175643&title=how-tidy-is-your#175643 Author: Glow

I'm really anal about clean (anyone else polish their toaster? ), but DH is the complete opposite, so we've had to find a happy medium. I've managed to get him down to 1 pair of muddy walking boots on the carpet in my lounge instead of 6

Having 2 inside/outside dogs in winter is a bit of a disaster, but we rub them down with towels etc to try and keep dirt down, and DH vacuums every day/every other day.

If things go out the window for a few weeks, it's usually just things like cleaning the windows ... though I can't stand dirty windows so that was probably a bad example ]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2007 12:13:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175498&title=how-tidy-is-your#175498 <![CDATA[How tidy is your... : Very tidy at the moment we had...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175472&title=how-tidy-is-your#175472 Author: floss

Depends on the time of the day and if its holiday etc.. More untidy when we are all home as more stuff is out eg books, dvds, stationary, clothes etc However my 11yr old is a tidy freak so she constantly tiding the lounge, kitchen, bedroom etc. I clean the house top to toe once a week apart from dishes, washing and vaccuming which Iis done daily.

Clean - Yes
Tidy - I can only dream!

DH used to comment on the state of the house when he comes home, until the other day he came home and it was spotless (like I might add it is every morning). Then after a few hours of three children playing etc it looked like a dump site.

AHHH he says now I see what you mean. I can't wait until the kids go back to school and then at least I am guaranteed 6 hours of a tidy house.]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:01:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175429&title=how-tidy-is-your#175429 <![CDATA[How tidy is your... : We could always arrange a tour...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175357&title=how-tidy-is-your#175357 Author: busymum

Well, we do a family cleanup between 4.45 and 5.15 roughly, before dinner (after 5.30). But then the girls play again between dinner and bedtime (6.45) so it's already messy in the lounge!

Aside from that we have about 4 places in the house where stuff collects until I find a place for it to go. And they have been piling up a bit lately. But the downstairs living room, the laundy and the bedrooms are tidy!]]> Sun, 08 Jul 2007 18:36:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175103&title=how-tidy-is-your#175103 <![CDATA[How tidy is your... : The house is ok.. but the lounge...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8898&PID=175092&title=how-tidy-is-your#175092 Author: Lisha
