    Oddjob - I used to have one... but find I do better without :rolleyes: She didn't have the same standards as me, didn't see any dirt above her head-height (I'm 4 inches taller, so this was a problem) and always rushed about, so the hoover was always bashing the skirtings/walls. She also clearly hoovered the walls to get rid of the cobwebs, so I have marks from the metal...

    TBH by the time I've tidied, the cleaning ends up being a very small part of it. However, I have also had people do the ironing in the past. Now that IS worth getting someone else to do! Maybe Valli could start up a postal service?!
  • Thanks greenbee its comforting to know he’s not likely too remember.

    Any one want to join me for HHC 11:15 to 11:45?

  • Morning All :hello:

    I finally managed to get back to sleep last night. But feel fine this morning :confused: so, relieved about that.

    Today's task is to sort out the deskand the dining table. It's not so dreadful, but needs doing before it'll take 3 weeks to complete!! :rotfl:

    Thanks Toots I'm very proud of her. She's very hot on dealing with prejudice, in all sorts of guises.... don't know where she gets it from!!! :D

    Gryfon :wave: nice to see you chick. That's some list!! Fair play. ;)

    See you all laters.... :wave:

    it's nice and sunny here today but still lots of snow everywhere :rolleyes:

    kids were playing so nicely earlier - newest games is 'shopping' shop.gif. they've got a cash register and a trolley and play 'gadget store' - they have lots of tools and spy gadgets and things like that and that gets in the shop.
    so i decided they can have the actual shop - we did buy it for xmas but they had so many toys we've held that one back. now we have 2 shops: one food shop and one gadget shop :rotfl:
    i then obviously had to show the how to do the shopping - so i've done my playtime today :rolleyes:
    we all just had a snack (me coffee1.gif )

    oh is still in bed :mad:


    need to do the dw later and i've decided on hm pizza.gif for dinner :D - kids love helping with that one :rolleyes:



    welcome2.gif newbies!

    Odd job
    I use to have a cleaner many years ago, and all she worried about from arriving to going home time, 3 hours, was what is the time, and has the bus come yet! She lasted 2 weeks!!

    Irr daughter, when I was a kid (many many years ago) I had grommets from about the age of 5 to 10 approx. all I can really remember is after time they worked loose and came out, and I have to have the day off school to go to see the hospital and for what ever reason I wasn't allowed to go swimming which really p!!!ed me off!!
    I am sure medical procedures have moved on inthe last xxxx years!
    Good luck to your child.

    East and West kitchen windows washed. Just need to do the big South one. BM is finished so my reward will be a bacon and egg sandwich. Then I'm going shopping
