Yea unfortunately... mainly cos my kids are messier than hell.. If I spend 24/7 tidying it will still be messy if i turn my back for two seconds... I've tried really hard this Christmas season to keep on top of things but it means a LOT of hard work as people leave things around.. and while one doing that wouldnt be so bad.. when they all do it it seriously builds up...
I work all week, lonnnnnnnnnng hours til 10pm and spend all weekend doing housework.. you'd think my house were a palace sparkling and clean.. but its not... best i can do is try to stop it getting too bad..
So in my case it's not money.. it's just there are untidy people that mess it up
