Get rid of anything you don't use regularly & make sure the things you want to keep are always kept in the same place. That way, even if hubby is untidy, it will be easy to put things back where they belong.
Set a date by which you will have sorted your papers & make sure you stick to it!
Agree a daily time with your husband when your paper work is either filed ( in the right place) or disposed of.......it will make life much easier!
Give us reports on progress... that will make it more difficult to decide " Oh I will do that another time".
Am exhausted already must have a coffee !

Re: How do keep a house tidy
I'm with Muddy on this one.I'm always in a muddle, not dirty, just muddly.
My worst weakness is piles of reading stuff.
This time of year I get loads of gardening catalogues arrive with all the lovely spring planting ideas.
Then there are my dog magazines, gardening magazines, the day's post, perhaps a parcel or two, crosswords, and far too many houseplants cluttering up the place, let alone the dog beds and Gertie's toys everywhere!
But it's my home, and a happy one.

I have just discovered three calendars all horse orientated apart from the one actually on the wall which isn’t .
Also the Sunday paper has a lot to answer for . I never get through all it’s bits so it hangs around until next Sunday .
Then there is mungo and his collection of old bones ( ideal for stubbing ones toes on and the source of much bad language !
( I have just tidied them up)

The worst aspect ( apart from us ) Is piles of stuff ie paperwork .

And everyday it’s the same !
How to you all keep a serine tidy house
How much time to people generally spend tidying every day ?
My ground floor is open plan which doesn't help and I could probably do with a lot more storage space.
But I've realised as long as it's kept clean it doesn't really matter.

The best thing for me is for someone to ring up and say they are coming to see me, then l go round like a bat of hell and tidy up!
Yet put me in my garden all day, doing hard grafting out there and l’m in my glory.
I wonder if it’s because l was born in Ireland and l’m more suited to navvy work and building canals and motorways!
