Yes, my sink was clean during the day time -- I even washed the lunch dishes so it would stay clean It was a wreck for a couple of days after that, but we are back to no dishes again. I used to think a dishwasher for two people was a waste, but I'm starting to wonder!

Eskielover, there's nothing like giving someone the keys to your house for motivation to clean. It will be wonderful to come back to a tidied house afterwards.

I think I will finish picking up the dining room and maybe sweep/vac the hall/dr/and kitchen. The living room is really the worst in the house right now, but it's almost too overwhelming to do anything about. There's too much furniture and no where to put it.
