Housework, am I alone?

Spotless is an aspiration here, accomplished once in a blue moon. It's rather like estate agent speak - one described my last house as 'immaculate' - I thought 'if only you knew' and hoped he would never encounter my 'stuff' lodged in the daughter's garage while he took the photos !!!

Clean is a good everyday working average.

I'd like to do a lot less and spend more time on hobbies, but I have a husband who is very particular (probably has undiagnosed ADHD). He finds chores for me to do, as he doesn't believe in sitting around 'doing nothing' . Yesterday morning, I came downstairs to find the hoover waiting for me in the sitting room - a clear indication that he felt the carpet needed hoovering, lol! Fortunately, I don't mind housework once I get going.

Blimey, Fairycakes, is there something preventing Mr Fairycakes from pushing a hoover around himself? I’m afraid that would be a signal for me to sit down and ignore it,

You are quite right, Bellanonna, that's exactly what I did .

As Claire rayner said, women are not born with a duster and polish in their hands!

Clean is a good everyday working average.

I think that's true for most people.

Having said that, my idea of clean is not the same as MrA's idea of clean 😁
