Hi Susan,

I’ve started reaching out to friends for help. If you have a friend you trust, invite them over for tea (etc) and a helping hand for organizing house.

@SusanEllen66 I have been having a problem with housekeeping too. In my younger days I cleaned every week, with three little ones running around, now over the years with no kids and just husband and I rattling around, have lost all motivation and not caring about it (husband did vacuuming and other heavy work till he fell ill). I was embarrassed at the condition of our house when friends dropped in recently, so now I have hired a cleaning lady to come in once a month (it’s all we can afford!) and am going to find a way to fit that expense into our budget! It was such a mood lifter to go out for a couple of hours and return to a clean house!
