Working 12 hours shifts and often 3 in a row, everyday house work literally isn't possible here. See I have a proper excuse!

I try to do it twice a week, more downstairs than upstairs as the dogs make more mess on the ground floor and I don't get many visitors upstairs.........steady!!!!!!!!!!

I voted other, as I have fibromyalgia I do not always have the energy to even do the small things, but I have a list for every day (washing up, ironing, bedmaking etc) and then anything else following lists as and when I have the energy.

I hate housework, but unfortunately with six dogs in the house every night, I have to hoover and dust every morning, otherwise we would be lost under a carpet of dog hair and a mountain of dust :-s

A "deep clean" gets done once a week, if I have time

OMG I feel such a slut now, I voted "what is house work"
I hate it but then when I stop to think about it I've got no children at home and only 1 fairly clean doggy. So things aren't that dirty are they

I get told I'm borderline OCD but I'm a Pisces ;o)

I HAVE to have everything in it's place or I can't relax. If the curtains aren't straight and the ornaments aren't in the exact position I get abit angsty.

Neil occasionally teases me by moving something, ever so slightly and is then appalled when I've noticed it within seconds.

My OH gets very upset at the amount of ornaments I have and the fact that I move them all along one place every week when I dust them, I have too many to have out all at once (I don't want the place to look cluttered) so there are some in a cupboard and by moving them along a space they all get to come out at some stage!!! He would just put them all in a box and dump them, actually I think he would do that with half the furniture as well.
I think he would like to be very minimalist - I get the feeling he married the wrong person - actually we are opposites in lots of ways.
