Carla has 2 adult children, living at home. They shouldn't need asking, to clean their own rooms properly and help their mum. Especially when their mum has lymphoedema, which is so painful. My 2 Adult sons live at home. 1 is wheelchair dependent, but still loves( and offers) to chop and peel vegetables , and have a go at cooking for me. The other does laundry, the recycling and assists his brother in showering and dressing. He, also, loves to cook some meals. I'm very proud of them both

Glad to see I'm not the only one who does recycling in bare feet. In the same boat with my hall/stairs carpet. Still waiting on the quote. I managed to get luxury vinyl flooring on market place for £35 to redo my kitchen floor. Looks like laminate flooring but much easier to put down. As long as your floors are level it might be a good alternative for your kitchen and people are selling unused often quite cheaply.

If its "friends" you had coming, then they accept you for who you are, not to judge your home. A proper home does not look like a show home, it looks lived in and filled with love🥰. Nothing worse than feeling "uncomfortable" in someone's home because it looks sooo perfect. But I suppose a clean round does make anyone feel better. You did good tho, especially because "you yourself did it" (with some help from Natalie). I have 3 cats n 2 small dogs and it's practically impossible to keep my house "hair free" (just tell people that's why it's called FURniture !!!. You've got my vote any day because anyone who cares for their pets like you do is up there at the top 🥰. And how you looked? How are you suppose to look to when cleaning the house 🤔.

I have tried to make a schedule of cleaning since no shipping on Saturdays, I clean the kitchen and the bathroom on that day. I plan enough in drafts to make them live on Saturday. Shipping room gets straightened up on Friday night after shipping is done, lots of fussing used to go on when husband did shipping, now that I ship, I just fuss silently at myself. My bedroom never gets done since I only have a bed against the wall, I only sleep their. Front room gets constantly done, when ever I have a break since there is so much furniture in it I can sit anywhere and reach everything. All the vacuuming gets done when I start getting cranky from seeing stuff on the floor. My kitchen floor is worse than yours's we have had so many water leaks (house was built in the 30's) we need a new subfloor. Not until the plumbing gets redone which is hopefully going to be done on Monday. Thanks for the video.

Hi, that's a good idea using the plastic placemats underneath the cat bowls. I always bought the ones for cats or dogs from the pet aisle in shops, until I discovered I could just tear off a piece of cardboard and use it instead of having to wash the mats, because after a while the shop bought ones would curl up, but the cardboard stays flat.
