    I think 'slave' is the term you are looking for - and you need to get all those men you've got cluttering the place up to do their share :D

    claiming 4th (and final) star please

    kids bedrooms have been done to level one - floor cleared and bedding changed - they need to be involved in keeping their rooms tidy - this is not an hotel ;)
    Fourth star is for my room - I have also washed the duvet cover (thanks to AF *grr*) so I have put the other one on.

    ah Macpep- I use sheets as well as a duvet so the duvet covers don't get washed every week - I use top and bottom sheets...I change them, and the pillowcases, every week.
