I do housework when it's raining, if I'm not running that is

Frantic sink end and worktop clearing before starting in the evening meal ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

As a serious comment to a fun one, I suspect this is actually a true and worthwhile strategy for many people who want to get the housework done.

Yep, it's amazing what a few minutes of frantic action can achieve, that, and hiding stuff in cupboards ๐Ÿ˜Ž

When our boys were living at home we would have a concerted effort from all 4 of us before visitors came. In one hour we could just about blitz the flat - there was rather a lot of hiding and very superficial dusting though!

I was once on a walk and someone sent apologies for absence because she was ironing. My response was that if anyone ever received such a message from me then it could be taken as a personal insult!

I love housework! (Sorry folks). Order from chaos - just the perfect thing for mildly OCDers like me! I don't enjoy running so much but I do it because I do it, and I ALWAYS feel better for it!
