been there
I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 25. We've been together for two years and live together in a cute little house. Our relationship is great, and we're getting married in 2010 or 2011 [[depending on finances]]. We both work full time, and we have an indoor pet.
However, our house always seems to get messy... faster than it should, I think. I don't think we are messy people, but our house is just "cluttery." I don't like it. I hate having to spend hours cleaning up before company comes, and even if we aren't expecting company we still spend hours and hours every week just CLEANING. But it seems like it can just get back to the the messy clutter in no time at all.
I can blame some of this on the small design of our 1960's-built home we are renting, that has significantly less storage space than other homes. And we can't buy furniture because the house came furnished... we have no room for new furniture right now. We're hopefully buying a home this summer, but for now we are here and I need to make it work.
I want to be like the working housewives who always seem to have a clean house all the time. I'm not expecting "perfection" from myself. But I really admire all of you tidy women who just seem to always keep it together. I want to be a good house wife to my future husband, and good role model to my kids one day. I want to be able to open the door an invite someone in without being embarrassed if someone stops by unexpectedly.
Do you have any tips for me? Thanks so much.
P.S. - I don't want you think our house is like one of those you see on TV where it's just ridiculous. And we aren't pack rats either. We just want to be a little neater.
Answer
Make sure everything has a home and that things are put away rather than tossed down. Decide where things belong and put them there. It takes less time to do that than have to face a pile or piles later. I don't allow anything on furniture that doesn't belong there. I have a box on the wall inside the door that handles keys and ingoing and outgoing mail and stamps. No clothes on the floor or tossed onto furniture at any time. I clean something every day whether it's dusting a room or rooms, vacuuming, sweeping, or cleaning bathrooms. I do the laundry twice a week (there are only two of us) and put it away immediately. I am definitely neatnik but anyone can come to my house unannounced and I wouldn't be embarrassed. It's all about setting a routine and following it. Clutter can only happen if you let it. Start now to maintain it and when you have kids you will be happier for it.

Should I get my PS3 fixed or just buy a new one?
.,.
I don't exactly know what's wrong with my PS3 but it hasn't been working since yesterday evening. It has always worked fine with no problems until all of a sudden yesterday, my TV screen started going weird - fuzzy green and yellow lines everywhere. I thought it was just my TV messing up at first but when I switched over to the TV channels, it was clear and normal. Just as I went to restart my PS3, it switched off by itself (no yellow light or anything). It then refused to turn back on. It light up green as normal but then quickly went back off. I left it for a bit then tried again and it did come back on, but there was no picture on my TV. I checked all the connections and wires and it was fine. This morning I vacuumed the vents, cleaned the PS3 and the area it sits and left it to cool down in case it was an overheating issue. I then tried it again and same problem - turns on as normal but nothing on the TV. However now it's gone back to not turning on at all. There is no yellow light but I've heard this can happen before YLOD. I've tried holding the power button down when turning it on and it beeps twice then goes off, a friend is telling me 2 beeps means it's pretty much effed.
Should I get it fixed or just buy a new PS3?
Thanks for the answers, mine is a PS3 Slim model. Should I just buy a new one then? When I try to turn it on, a red light first comes up (this should already be there to indicate it's plugged in ? but now I have to press it for it to come on), then I press it again and it lights up green and for half a second turns on but then quickly goes off again. Is this YLOD or some other issue?
Answer
I'm sure the YLOD was only an issue with the old PS3's and the PS3 slim stopped the YLOD issue so it might be another issue. I had the YLOD in June 2010 on the old PS3. I phoned PS Support and they told me I could get a refurbished one from the same year, the same memory size etc. for £130 or get a new one. So I got a new 120GB PS3 with 4 games out of GAME for £289.
So I'd contact PlayStation Support on 0844 736 0595 or help@uk.playstation.com and tell them what's wrong with the PS3 and they can also tell you if it's worth getting fixed or worth getting a new one.
