I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I normally have someone come once a month, to clean, but the past few months since I broke my ankle have someone twice a month. Generally I'd say I "tidy" more than "clean" between times? I mean, I do dishes or take out the trash, and I'll swipe up a spill on the counter, but I don't dust or vacuum or clean the toilet or bath between. Probably I'm filthy but once a month is also probably more than I'd do it otherwise, so... (note that I have neither kids nor pets, so that makes it easier)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
We have a cleaner come by every fortnight (today, in fact). They basically do floors and surfaces. My parents used to have a cleaner who did ironing too, which t wistful sounds nice.
In between, I clean the kitchen each night. (Biyi cooks - I'm home too late - so I get the cleaning.) we generally just leave the floors, they can go a fortnight. However, if we do need some vacuuming in between, because we have visitors or there's been a spill or something, then I'll do that. Ryan helps out with that too sometimes.

I hope you get everything shifted ok, Chris. Moving stuff is always a pain, especially under these circumstances.

Hey. New board.
Now that we are in Brazil we have somebody come once a week (which feels crazy but that's the schedule she requested and it's affordable so...). We had somebody every two weeks in Nashville. Much like meara, we do/did a ton of tidying in between (three kids means every day is a tornado) but sporadic actual cleaning and only when it was obviously gross. We did get a robot vacuum which helps manage the day to day popcorn spills before the cleaners come.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry about Joey, Fred.
We seem to have a fairly even distribution of household tasks here. (Not that we're the tidiest of people, but major stuff gets done.)

Chris, cause I am thinking if I could be of help if you need to pack up fast.

I'm thinking I really need to get a Roomba. It'll at least keep me from leaving stuff on the floor.

msbelle, it would be totally awesome for you to do that, but let me see what the insurance people recommend, they already said they'd cover moving&cleaning or replacement-
Oh, the guy they recommended just called. We're going to meet tomorrow to get him a look at the apartment so he can get an assessment going.
