    How does one train a husband to picK up his clothes and not treat the bedroom floor like a floordrobe?

    How do you cope with the endless bits of paper that comes in the post or gets brought home by the kids? Stuff that can't immediately be filed or recycled but stuff that can't afford to get lost in the reams of paper. I even considered an in tray but quite frankly can't bear the thought of the house ending up one giant office......

    Answers on a postcard please.......
    You could always threaten the floordrobe-creating husband with a riding crop..... nah, maybe not, he might enjoy it.:D:D:D Refuse to wash anything that hasn't been put in the laundry bin? Dunno, Mr LW's always been good that way, prob cos he lived alone for years and years.:o

    As for the paper.... we don't get much, with not having kids, but what little there is lives in a tidy pile on my desk, and is filed/recycled, as appropriate, as soon as it's dealt with.:o

    Currently there's a £10 cheque to pay into the bank next time we go into town (payment for online surveys), a docket from Tesco Home Panels regarding testing cageless loo rim blocks, which is currently in progress (I have to do the online questionnaire on Friday), and the information sheet for Sidney and his postcard to be written to take home with him.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Oh let's get inside the mind of a floordrobe user :p


    So I have been baking up a storm and all used from store cupboards. Go me. Even made glace icing for the kids to dribble over biscuits. Having a wee Christmas party for kids tomorrow. Next time I have one of these bright ideas shake me to come to my senses :eek:

    As of Friday the cutting back of hours takes effect :eek::eek: have kinda had my head in the sand but it really will be D Day. Am looking forward to it obviously but am now slightly panicking about how we will manage. I know we will, am lucky that really my kids enjoy the simple things in life but still <gulps> reality is kicking in. It's no more dress rehearsal it's the real thing.
