    Good morning everyone :D

    Big ((hugs)) for you Sequeena, I know how you feel, my OH is as much use as a wet paper bag too :( Hope you soon feel back on top.

    I had a good day yesterday, I did a wash and I even managed to get ALL my ironing done :j

    I even had a sewing afternoon and made another bag :D now I have threads all over the carpet to clean off today :rotfl:

    I have a doc appointment this morning and I need to get some food in as the cupboards are looking desperate :o

    Hope everyone has a good day and hope to pop back later to catch up before work tonight :o
    Getting myself sorted 1 day/1thing at a time :) and Love sewing :)

  • ((Hugs)) Sequeena hope you're feeling better soon.

    Had a busy weekend shifted 4 HUGE bags of slate & gravel (we're not very big on gardening and have opted for the low maintenance option!) and DH finally chopped all the odd bits of wood we had lying around ready for winter. My garden is finally looking pleasant enough to sit in now!

    DH is off this week with DS and is under strict instructions of no computer or TV all day! Not sure how long that will last they're as bad as each other. He's been given the recipe for tonghts tea, which he will make (he's actually a better cook than me!) but I will still have to clean up when I get home from work. He just wouldnt think to unload the dishwasher or clean the kitchen. Oh well I guess I cant expect too much after all he is on holiday!!

    Hello all, just back from my holiday (well, we got back yesterday but were feeling too tired to do much other than the washing, and luckily were invited to a friend's for a BBQ unexpectedly so that took care of dinner :) ).

    The house looks such a tip (well it is) after being in a nice rented gite for a week where space and cleanliness abounded.....the plan is to try and tackle a cupboard or set of drawers a day until it's looking a bit better.....

    My OH is military, has OCD and the s*dding house has to be STERILE before he stops nagging. He hoovers everyday when he gets in and tells me off for not being houseproud. He has to disinfect the whole kitchen before he cooks as well.

    ...Please don't tell me that I'm lucky. He's so close to getting a Dyson enema... If I hear, one more time, that I'm a) lazy, b) a slob, c) unhygenic for not being a odd as him (I think hoovering once a week is fine if you have no pets. Am I evil?).

    Oh yes - he cleans everything apart from the loo, when he's finished. He leaves THAT for me...

    Me neither, much more fun watching my dog dreaming.

    Me either, but those damned housework elves still don't seem to be able to find my house *sigh*
    In a better financial position than ever before (thank you MSE!). Moved back to Scotland and now trying to keep debt-free!
