When I was young and single I employed a cleaner. She was rubbish at cleaning the place but the main reason I employed her was to motivate me to tidy the house every fortnight. £20 well spent in those days :rotfl:

I'd love to get a dog, but DS has asthma and we now run a catering business from home so now probably isn't the time to try - even poodles! LOL. My friend just got some kind of poodle cross puppy (poodleador? labradoodle?) and he's amazingly cute - but also very very furry! I haven't spent enough time with him yet to know if I'd have a reaction, in general it's cats which are an instant reaction with me.

Usually they're labradoodles...although there's also cockerpoos and also maltese/poodle crosses.

btw..she's not a poodle cross but...my older dog is a labrador x chihuahua

I'm not allowed a dog OH says NO!

Just danced round the room like a muppet cleaning and singing also washed down the kitchen surfaces. Dinner guests are a casual half hour late so they are having charcoal for tea :rotfl:

Is this dancing and singing to punish your husband for saying no or a Mary Poppin-esque way of preparing for your charcoal-fed guests?

I'm 49 this year so teetering on the edge of 50 but I feel fine about it, much less obsessive than when I approached 40. I reckon it's because my eyesight has gone, so I can't see the wrinkles and blemishes now :rotfl:

:rotfl:Sadly, that doesn't apply to me, but hair dye is one of my closest friends!

I'm nearly there with this week's clearing up. Have cleaned the bathroom, and almost sorted out the mags. Still haven't emptied the waste basket, as stuff needs shredding, but I did spend a lovely hour and a half with mum, so I'm feeling rather :A Tomorrow, I'll be clearing and tidying of another kind - working in the local churchyard, biggest on the island, a wildlife haven, and wonderfully historic place. Hope to see some red squirrels while I'm there.

We got 20 boxes of chocolates, 4 bars, 3 selection boxes and numerous seasonally shaped treats :eek:

They are currently the main clutter in my kitchen

20 boxes of chocolates!! :eek: :eek: I don't think even I could manange that many (I'd probably pick out all the nice ones and throw the orange cremes and toffee ones away - not very MSE!)
