lets have a cleaning thread.

Candy, I'll buy you dinner.

Quentin Crisp: There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse. 

I'm going to vacuum today.. I have less work today, so I have time to clean randomly during the week instead of only on weekends lol

When it comes to cleaning I have no choice: I refuse to live in filth.

I have to switch to my September cleaning sheet, since it'll be a new month before the week is up. I usually split up weekly cleaning jobs between four or five days, leaving the weekend with none. Sometimes I'm even trying not to do laundry on Saturday, so I can have more of the day off (though laundry isn't a big deal for me, and sorting and folding is therapeutic at times). Dishes usually can't be skipped and should be done twice a day if we're motivated enough. (Four people makes a lot of dirty dishes!)

Here is the breakdown at this point, and we'll move things around if the school year means we aren't getting it all done on the days assigned:

Monday: Change and wash sheets
Tuesday: Garbage & recycling out (to a dumpster shared with other townhouses)
Wednesday: Bathroom cleaning, dusting
Thursday: Wash floors, vacuum
Friday: When I remember... wipe cupboard doors or clean fridge shelves. Realistically, these things don't get checked off the list often enough; but they're written down as a nagging reminder!

I wish I had one...

Now Annie, you're not old at all. You're still young.

We have one

She is called Cherry

No reason why not, she is cheap. Cleaners only get minimum over here.

Your only concern, I suppose, is travelling expenses........ 

I don't have cleaning days, which means I clean when I see things need cleaning. I just have to make sure I have Queen playing when I do. My non-negotiable requirement I stipulated to my husband and kid is to make sure the kitchen is tidy and ready for me to use when I come home from work. Clear the benchtop and the kitchen island. Nothing is so annoying for me than having to clear the working area before I can cook and prepare food. They don't always do but there's a big improvement this year.

I bet you say nothing to contradict him. 

He thinks the obsessiveness can become a mental illness. He is also not comfortable seeing me running around him doing all these chores.

I think your mutual support system is great. All couples should be like that.

You are a natural grafter, and I guess your ocd is an extension of that, rather than an illness.
