I suck at housework. Really suck. Clean I can do, tidy I cannot. I need this to change because it’s majorly getting me down. Today I have decided I’m going to really, really try to sort things out. I have attacked the kitchen already – the floor needs washing but aside from that it is…… Continue reading Breaking Point
