    I had the same problem when I moved in here. Not with H but with the children. Drove me potty, if you'll pardon the pun. And after 4 years of having a DW and then not :mad:
    In the end I treated myself to a DW off of ebay. I had to spend more than I wanted to as I needed a slimline one. Full size wouldn't fit because of a stupid radiator. Best thing I did though.

    thanks hun think i will have to invest in one maybe he can buy me one for xmas lol might suit him

    hhc didn't happen cause my little one was sick all over me and just got eldest off to school so will have a hhc at 9 then hopefully zac will be a sleep

    Morning just realised I should have put a :xmastree:so people knew I was new on here.

    Posted yesterday with what I'd done so far this week.
    yesterdays stuff

    Trying to decide what to tackle today and will have a go at the dining room as its where everything else ends up. I think there's a computer in there somewhere!!
    Don't have spare rooms as such as son uses one as an office and the other is his bedroom; as he's an adult I don't do his room under any circumstances ( unless he's blitzing it, then I'll give him a hand)

    Also as he works nights have the balancing act of when best to hoover as can't do it while he's asleep but feel mean on neighbours doing it at night. Any thoughts from you wiser people out there?

  • all my hard work from cleaning the kitchen on monday was undone on wednesday when i came home after being out all day to find the kitchen flooded, luckily it is sorted now and there wasn't really any damage(apart from my stress levels going through the roof) but as we couldn't even have the water switched on until it was fixed i have a good few days worth of dishes to be washed, a floor to be swept and mopped and the rest of the house that was already done, needs to be done again!!! not happy!!!!!!! :mad:

    Morning All - I took littley to the fireworks.

    Hoovered the bicarb off my mattress but it still stinks. I have fabrezed it, turned it and left the windows open again and am relegated to sleeping in the spare room. I will just need to keep doing that.

    After all of that, I didnt get much else done :(
