Uggggg im having one of those days today where i don't know what to do. Ive got loads to do but cant be bothered, I've hoovered everywhere and should either do something in the garden or continue to do housework or start a bit of decorating, the cupboards and draws need sorting through and my book is looking at me but then so is my embroidery, should i get my sewing machine out Sorry, see what i mean. I'm going to do something anyway. Bye for now.

My husband and I both used to be in the armed services and everything had to be spick and span! It becomes a habit and has taken me years but a friend sent me this and it makes a point! Subject: Dusting Dusting "A house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture." I can't tell you how many countless hours that I have spent CLEANING! I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect - "in case someone came over". Then I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun! Now, when people visit, I find no need to explain the "condition" of my home. They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun. If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice. Life is short. Enjoy it! Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there's not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more dust! Remember...a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it. It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Love it, and sooo true. I used to spend hours cleaning but not now, it all got a lick and a promise in the end. spent a few hours with the Grandchildren making Plasticine gardens, far more enjoyable

Yes, me too. When the boys were little and on the floor all the time, you could have eaten your lunch off the floor (well, boys being boys, sometimes they did, lol : Now, as long as it isn't tacky underfoot, it's fine! Not quite to that extent, but you get my drift.
