    Evening all! I`ve had a lovely day today! I`ve picked up a cheque for over 4 grand! It was back pay from work that i had owing, its gone straight into the bank & i won`t see a penny of it.
    Though some of it is going to pay for my first trip to Disneyland in Florida next year & the rest is going to pay off some of my debt.
    I had a horrible day yesterday, one of my best friends who`s only 37 ended up in hospital after having a suspected heart attack & blood clot on her lung. Thank goodness she`s ok but it was 1 hell of a scare.

    Hello!

    First time on this board for over a year (no broadband since June 2007 :eek: ). Very much enjoying getting back into the weekend party spirit though.

    Anyway... all this talk about cleaning/lazy OH's and that got me thinking... I HATE cleaning my own house, but LOVE cleaning other people's houses (perverse I know). I'll pop over and give your place a good clean-up if you like - now't else planned for the weekend :p

    Does anyone else's OH do the dishes and always leave just 1 pot/pan/dish not washed?
    My OH insists everytime that 'that one needs to soak' etc. Does my nut in...

    All you have to do, is wait half an hour and say "It's soaked - finish it off".

    No need to stress.
