    . DH still thinks the floor is for slightly worn, clean and dirty clothes, but loses the plot if I put any in the wash - more arguments about this than anything else and have now given up trying to change him.:mad: .:o

    My OH is exactly the same, he keeps his clothes by the side of the bed and when I get fed up with all the dust I wash them and he says "oh i was going to wear that at the weekend...". But he also moans at me when he has no clean underwear or can't find matching socks! :mad:(OK rant over)

    Mudbath, I cannot believe how much you have in your bathroom!!:eek: I thought I was bad and I don't even have half of that!

    I also have a carrier bag of half empty beauty product/hair care bottles to chuck out but can't bring myself to do it, any ideas anyone?

    1. buy him 40 pairs of socks all exactly the same.. odd sock problem solved!! They all match!

    2. Take the bag of half empty bottles and throw it in the bin.. or donate it to someone with a teenage sprog! I leave them out in here and everyone else uses them up.. :D

    Honestly Mistress Pigpen, it wasn't my fault.

    They MADE me do it.....FORCED me to do it.

    They made me go and sit in the garden for three quarters of an hour. They MADE me soak me feet in warm water, clip my toenails, exfoliate, moisturise - and WORST OF ALL made me drink TWO glasses of wine because Prettypennies forced me to have one for her tooo.....

    They're bullies - all of 'em -

    but I love them :D

    But I compromised. I did do some swishing and swiping first. I'm now about to go and do some more. With lovely velvety feet :D

    I found anti-seasickness injections worked a treat. We went on a cruise (so posh!) when the kids were mardy teenagers. We had a day of seriously rough weather when EVERYONE was sick. I paid for the doctor to administer the anti-sickness injections for the kids and decided I would be brave and just try and cope with the tablets.

    The kids didn't surface properly for about 24 hours. I was fine and had great fun :D in between checking on them.
