h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

today I've been very busy cleaning, and I don't mean special spring cleaning I mean the ritualistic scrubbing the kitchen and vacuum sock obstical course that happens every morning.

so I thought lets devise a game from this

so how long does it take to clean

for each room thats not the kitchen living-room or bed-room + 30 minuets
for living rooms and bedrooms + 45 minuets
for kitchen + 1 hour
for each child living in the house + 10 to 15 years
for each visiting child + 2 hours (+ time visited)
for each pet + 1 hour
for dish washer - 1 hour
for working vacuum - 20 minutes per room vacuumed
children go to college + 5 years
children leave home - 10 years
grandchildren + 8 years

gosh this is starting to add up to quite a bit...

gardening + 1 year per veg plot/flower bed

any more you can think of?

* times may not accurately represent time actually spent cleaning, some of the time is feeling like you've been cleaning or panicking that it needs cleaned
