I Think Spring Must Have Sprung

Norwich, England

I'm not a great one for housework and normally try to do as little as possible ... just dust the bits that can be seen. However, this weekend I just got the urge. I vacuumed throughout the house, polished all woodwork to within an inch of its life and cleaned my kitchen floor until I could almost see my face in it. I'd finished doing what I wanted to inside so, on Sunday afternoon, I decided to have a clear up in the garden. Raked the lawn, dug out weeds from my flower/fruit beds, put weed killer on the drive and put weed, feed and moss killer on my lawn. Why this sudden physical activity? The sun was out, the birds were singing and, for the first time since November, the temperature outside got to above 8 degrees! Now that I'm satisfied with my surroundings, I'm ready to do a bit of 'sharing' with my friends on MyLot. So, watch this space.

My attitude as a housewife is like yours. But the cleaning urge overcame me today, too. Exaggerating is not my thing, though. I did one room thoroughly, the others will follow on another day.

@olliesmum That is another successful trick men seem to master. Why don't you leave the house and let the man do his turn of cleaning?

My partner says it's something in the female genes. We're preparing our nest for the breeding season. Not that I'm going to be breeding!!!

@MALUSE Frankly, I'd rather he stayed out of the way. He gets under my feet!!!

I really hate cleaning but sometimes like you I get the urge and really go for it although I don't often polish furniture.

I have been known to flick the dust off the surfaces and just spray a little polish in the rooms before visitors arrive!

I'm so ready for spring, but I haven't got the spring cleaning itch yet.
