Thanks for your tips ladies. I have actually used them all...but get told 'you're nagging', 'you're criticising', 'you're treating me like a child', or, my least favourite 'I'll do it'...I know he won't, but can't say that or I'll get yelled at, so there's nowhere for me to go with it.

Asking him once to do something is not nagging or criticising or treating him like a child.

If you get this response then it looks like he hasn't bought into it being a joint responsibility.

Maybe calmly suggest that you both go for counselling to discuss your differing attitudes to chores? Most men I know would do the chores rather than face that

S and Sd kitchen, made hair appointment.

Piggers take it steady babe.

greenbee thank you for the offer, I shall take you up on it in a few months. First thing - CV. I keep starting one and not finishing it did you do the year long internships or summer ones (or both)? I didnt even realise you got paid, I mean, I have to fend for myself over summer anyway :S ah well - yay, money!

both

When your CV is ready let me know, and I'll have a look at it. If at any point you can't find work, then make sure you get some voluntary work. You need your CV to show that you haven't just been sitting on the sofa during the holidays. And if you're working, you have fewer spending opportunities! Work doesn't have to be relevant to your degree, it just has to be work.

Think they are losing the plot, on Tues they sent me part of "dine in for £10 deal" and expected me to pay full price:eek:

I'm afraid if they come to me early and I have my hands full, they get to wait:o

Yesterday went a bit awry, and am busy packing the 'van for a weekend trip to Ripon, but hope to get at least the following done:

stairs cleared
kitchen tops cleared
dining room table cleared
bathroom and loo finished (how I can only half-finish cleaning a small loo is beyond even me!!)

whats 60 in 60?

poohbear59

I have spent a very enjoyable couple of hours following hens and trying to find where they are nesting. My back is killing me from cleaning out the hens last night but I was sick of the sound of my own voice.

DK I do the same as you, write out a list of jobs and let them choose. It all has to be done by the end of the day. Sometimes I print out a flylady list just as it is and let them choose a room. We have a back door to repair today as the wood panel 'dropped out' yesterday. Methinks someone has kicked it.

frittered away Well done and massive congratulations on your result.

piggersCan you get OH to do something like cut the grass or strim. That or chopping wood always cheers DH up for some reason which I reckon he is much better in Summer than Winter when out of work. He doesn't mind being asked to do things I can't do. Maybe you could use your condition as an excuse.

Hi raphanius, it means putting away or throwing 60 items in 60 minutes


Another load of washing folded from TD and another thrown in from WM. Washed floors in kitchen and bathroom (I HATE that job!).

Just having another cuppa, then off out food shopping. Gonna squeeze in another HHC around 12.30. Anyone want to join in?

Edit: Awww, this is quite pretty....
