I type this from my phone sitting on the couch when I should be cleaning.. I've started, but got half way and can't be bothered anymore.

I had great intentions of getting down and scrubbing the carpet today, but now I just can't be bothered, so instead I'm having a lie down while DS is having a nap.
Pudgy - who are these cleaning fairies you speak of?? I've never had them, let alone had them go on strike

Can totally recommend a Bisell steam mop - not cheap but well worth the investment!! I did loads of research when i brought one and this came out best.
Although I have to buy another one since I left that one in OZ - and boy do I miss it!

if it's not the dust, it's dog hair or food, why eat it when you can throw it on the floor eh????
Mmmmm steam mop, might be a good option for me! i don't think we'll be getting a cleaner anytime soon 
it's just such a thankless job.

It feels like groundhog day every day!
I hate mopping!! I'd love a steam mop, but will have to wait til I go back to work, boo! Weirdly I don't mind vacuuming, maybe it's cos the baby loves the vacuum cleaner and chases me around

My DH will usually notice and say thanks, though TBH I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not! Is our house soo messy that it's easy to tell when something has been tidied??

haha, mine expects a pat on the back when hes done anything, but when I do all that and more its just taken for granted that i will/have done it... funnily enough after 2 weeks at home playing SAHD, he reckons he'll be going back to work on Wednesday for a holiday... I highly doubt he will call the life of a SAHM easy again!

I would sooo love DH to spend a week with DD and everything that goes with it. See if he could do it day in, day out. For me it's not hard work just very, very monotonous, just the cleaning part, oh and changing nappies doesn't do it for me either! i hate poo!
i shouldn't complain though, I am lucky to be able to stay at home with DD which i am eternally grateful. Lots of people have it much worse right now. Just where is my magic wand???? begon dust, begon dog hair, begon food!
i need some magic

I got a dishwasher for valentines! guess DH hated that I hated doing the dishes too!! but he must hate them even more aye!
I vaccuum everyday, washing every day, dont mind it too much but I hate folding clothes!!! If I leave it a couple of days I hate it even more!!
I have to have clean, and I guess there is only one way to get it, but the toddler bomb that goes off in here twice a day is so tedious - god I love kindy days !!

Do those steam mops work well on carpets as well or just tile/kitchen type floors?
Just wondering as we had two refluxy babies so lots of baby milk vomits that have been cleaned up but the stain or change of carpet colour is slightly still there...?
Maybe I'm better off hiring a proper professional? or hiring a rug doctor and do it ourselves?
