    Gardening AND clean kitchen floor...?

    If, like me, you have to keep the kitchen floor clean as well as doing the gardening - and you also run in & out a hundred times a day - then get into the habit of turning to face the garden before removing your boots. It means you can just step into your boots when you head back out there...

    I just don't worry about the kitchen floor until I've finished outside then you don't have to be too bothered about taking boots off and on and just clear up once at the end

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      Same as Alison - I come in and out complete with muddy boots to make tea, make lunch, get seeds, make more tea - whatever, until such time as I have finished in the garden then I throw the mop around and pour myself a large glass of wine

        My clogs always face out and my slippers always face in. Saves so much time and effort!
        I was feeling part of the scenery
        I walked right out of the machinery
        My heart going boom boom boom

        I've come to take you home."

          i have a wife to do the floor thing for me.................sshh!! she might see this!!!
          May the road rise to meet you,
          May the wind be always at your back,
          May the sun shine warm upon your face,
          The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
          Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand          .

            Same here although its more to do with the 3 kids eating or using play-doh as to why its done every night. I'm managing to remove most of it before i reach the house though.

              Ditto Alison and Piskie. I wear 'proper' boots, and there's no way I'm going through the faff of lacing and unlacing every time I come in or go out... The OH moans a bucket load when I drop bits of mud all over the place, but he's more than capable of hoovering/mopping himself if he's that bothered...

                It's too tedious to take off my boots when I come indoors (hiking boots, lots of laces) so I tie a carrier bag over each foot when I come in the house

                Off again when I go out

                        My floor is a stained wooden one and an absolute b*****r to keep clean, so I have three pairs of shoes on the go, one to wear in the house which are left just inside the door, one to wear outside in the garden (pottering, seeing to the chickens, hanging out washing, checking the pool etc)and another pair (boots) kept downstairs in the 'cave' (the cellar which is also the shed) which i change into to do heavy gardening.
                        We are establishing a 'psychological' porch just inside the door inside of which you have to leave all dirty stuff, boots,shoes,filthy jeans,wet jackets etc.
                        Wont work tho.................
