Hugs to all in need of em

Pixxy- I have felt the same way about OHs nad "telling him to do jobs" Its so exasperating. THe only thng I can do is "alter my emotional approach" to use a w**k phrase

1) instead of being pi55ed off- be pleased. At least your OH will do things when TOLD, plenty of OHs would tell you to f off or give you a gobfull of abuse or ignore, so be chuffed with yourself that you have picked a man who is MAN enough to accept direction from his beloved

2) You are not a wife, you are a household manager. this involves delegation. All staff at some time can become disillusioned. Maybe have a one to one and identify some "training needs" and develop those

3) finally remember, if a jobs worth doing , its worth doing yourself. :rotfl:

Imagine what my house is like- Im a control freak I admit it!!!

LYNZ happy jobhunting!! :dance:

i know what you mean with your approach (:D) but still
if let's say cleaning was my 'proper' job (you know what i mean) he would not make a mess straight away and refuse doing things and actually come up with ideas to make it easier.
but because i am 'home anyways' let's just take it for granted :cool:

oooooops! here i go again

it's just finally i am starting to get 'houseproud' and i actually want to have a tidy and clean (!) house - too much to ask

[sigh] oh well, guess i have to attack it as you suggest - i DO like your approach
i just have to actually get him to do things (which he agrees to) right(ish) away and not 2 days later :eek:


ok, back to flying!

- put some clothes away (dd's will follow, she's asleep atm)
- played lots with both kids
- started thinking about what else to do today (no plan so far :think:)



PONDSAVER glad you are feeling better! good on you to have taken it easy yesterday
what's wrong with your vacuum??? are you on a 'special' diet?

Morning Gang,

Hope everyone well.
Starting to feel like i am flagging now so need to give it renewed effort today. After being out yesterday for most of the day downstairs looks like a tip. Have someone from preschool coming round to play today as well.(Half term here) As its the first time i would like the place to be half decent so:

Today,
Get showered and dressedDone
Make bedsDone
Tidy sitting room
Tackle paper mountain
Hoover
Dust
Put out ashes
Lay new fire
Water plants
S/S downstairs loo
Tidy KitchenDone
brush and mop kitchen floor
Menu plan
Online shop
Laundry catch up
Strain and freeze chicken stock made yesterdayDone
Sort something for lunch and dinner

Think i need some jet powered wings today, only got until 1pm:rolleyes:
Feel exhausted already.:o
Hoping the fact that i have written it all down rather than it all spinning around in my head will stop me flapping unnecessarily

BoL to all in their efforts
Sunny Angel

Denise... DS number 1 is distraught ! All Blacks v England on Sunday in Twickenham (or Monday your time)... and Dan Carter has been dropped from the team !!!
I think he has been benched !!! What's goin on? Any inside info to console DS would be gratefully received.... Dan Carter isn't even injured.... he's benched !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an outrage ! (DS words, not mine).

Rant over.... have a great day everyone! I gotta go to work..

The vacuum needs it belt replacing or at least thats what I think is wrong with it need to find belt then put in infront of OH's nose and kick him up the butt!!

I have started the Rosemary conely class as I also need a kick up the but to loose my baby weight and dd is now 20 months need to loose about 2.5 stone.

Denise - I love to read what you've done by the time I get up - its kinda inspiring:)
