and you're gone and we're on with our lives.

For lack of better alternatives, I have turned to song lyrics to title my posts. Though I do maintain that anything is better than "untitled" when it comes to scanning through other blogposts on the blogger dashboard.

In any case, my mom has uncovered the number 1 way to get my out of the bed and to help round the house: pay me. So for this week, I will work 7-8 hours a day for $250 dollars a week(: just slightly less than my last job. I celebrate (even though I can feel my sister "tut-tut"ing at me already).

So, since I am supposedly "at work" now, I shall make my post relevant to work. I present: Ruth's Five Household Problems. Anyone with a solution to any one of the following problems please help me out!

1) How do I get my sister to stop throwing things everywhere in my room?

2) How do you iron working pants so that they look nice?

3) What is the most effective way of washing a VERYVERY dirty floor without permanently ruining your cleaning equipment?

4) How much rubbish is the garbage man usually willing to take if it overflows the bin outside the house?

5) Is it generally better looking to have dark-coloured or light-coloured furniture? If I want to buy furniture for my bedroom such that the bedroom is very easy to clean, how should I go about it?

Yes, these are questions which annoy me greatly. Anyone can give some insight?
