Home Sweet Home


"Occupation?"
Well, my hubby thought about this short, precise question just the other day when he had to fill in some forms on my behalf. His answer...'Domestic Goddess'. I laughed out loud! Bless him for holding me in such high esteem, but he might rethink his overly generous answer if he was to pay close attention to the little eight legged lodgers I've noticed settling in very nicely of late in all the corners of the house. This is of course due to a lack of cobweb sweeping on my part. Anthea Turner would get her knickers in a knot if she saw how standards are slipping! Real, bona fide dust-busting polishing has been  replaced with a squirt of polish in the air to create the ambiance of a clean house at times...if it smells clean, it surely MUST be clean?

Surely the term 'domestic goddess' refers to someone who actually cleans their windows, instead of turning a blind eye to the dirt which now resembles net curtains? Getting the children to write their spellings in the dust on the television screen before a test is due, might also disqualify one as 'queen of cleanliness'! Not to mention THAT cupboard in the hall way, which, if opened by an unsuspecting visitor, would yield a nasty avalanche surprise of toys, trinkets and tat! I'm in no doubt that I'd be sued for injury compensation.
Eugh...I'm so fed up sometimes with the almighty to-do-list, that I could eat a whole three-storey gingerbread house out of sheer frustration! But, all is not lost...After all, he did put the words 'Domestic Goddess' in black ink on white paper. I must be doing something right? Anyhow, in an attempt to ease my conscience, I will devote this little corner of my blog to all things domestic. Do check in from time to time, and share your tips, experiences (good or bad!) and tales of home making with us. Would love to hear from you!

P.S Have just read this post to hubby...have a feeling the laptop might be confiscated in an attempt   to encourage more domestic activity around here...
