Elbow grease needed!

It was a sad day when I realised that my duties as a stay at home mum would not only include sole responsibility of the children, but also the cooking, cleaning, food shopping, meal planning, washing, toy tidying and general care and maintenance of the house. My husband is a very busy man.

Cleaning really is the bane of my life and I always need plenty of warning before friends visit so I can make sure the house is spotless. I’m lazy but house proud. With two children it’s pretty hard to keep on top of the mess as I have to tidy toys away to get to the dirt. The dining room floor is probably the worst due to the toddlers eating habits, he constantly seems to drop Ready Brek and food which dries like concrete!

Sometimes I feel like a 1950s housewife as I’ll hear of a new product I really want. Black & Decker have just released a new product – the Black & Decker Steam Mop. The mop boasts killing 99.9% of germs and bacteria and is natural in its cleaning process – using only tap water to do the job!

I think it looks fab. What do you think?
