Phew, I have just spent all morning cleaning my house and for the first time today have managed to sit down and do some work. I really needed to get up and log on first thing but my house was SUCH a tip after having friends to stay, more pals over for play dates and not enough time in the day to do more than a quick lick and spit that I physically couldn’t relax into work mode until it was done!

I’ve cleaned all the bathrooms, blitzed the floors, changed the beds and tidied everything away to their homes including finding places for all of Jimmy’s birthday presents which was no easy feat. I think, as I’m nearly 5 months pregnant, I did quite well to have done so much in just 3 hours and I’m loving sitting here in my little work area, smelling clean sheets drying and having no clutter around me for a few hours before the kids come home from school and rabble it all up again!

The thing is, when you work from home like I do it’s kind of hard to ever switch off and although I have all these grand plans to be organised I very rarely manage to keep it up for more than a day. I shall tidy, clean and start afresh is what I say to myself every week and I shall make time to work every day and other time to ‘keep house’, entertain the littles and also have a bit of down time. With every intention of keeping on top of it all I still manage to find that come the next I’m back to where I was all over again needing a whole day to get everything square! Ah well… Perhaps it’s not my fault, perhaps it’s just written in the stars!

I am a Cancerian crab and this infographic from Furniture at Work shows me that I am destined for constructive chaos – that sounds about right to me! My home office is messy but it looks pretty and I have to say that’s pretty much the story for the whole house… Take a look, what does your star sign say about how you look after the office that you work in?

Interesting isn’t it! I literally haven’t read my star sign for years but this is pretty much on the money for everyone I know (especially me)… Just take a look at my little book shelf! Do I need a golden dinosaur with an air plant in his back or books about how to clean with vinegar… Urm no (and I never have – I far prefer hard chemicals to get the job done) but it looks good don’t you think, my little shelfie?!

What does your home office, it’s furniture and how tidy you keep it say about you and does it match your star sign?!
