Got the boys to clear out a corner of the basement! Why have grown sons and do the heavy work myself?

I may be able to set up my sewing table yet.

I had forgotten the carpet down there is grey.

aren't all carpets grey? with random splodges?

M.E.

Next door had a new carpet, lovingly described by the grandparents as "Swirls of Guinness and Cream".
Their daughter described it as "Spilt hot chocolate and trodden in biscuit":D:D

OH called it "poo and sick":p:p

Think my bedroom carpet used to be red, now its just threadbare and black dog hair....

I tidied my bedside cabinet thing today - still need to clean off the spilt contact lens solution, but other than that its very empty looking....

I think you deserve a bar of chocolate for the bedside table. I'm afraid to move any of the artfully stacked books on mine.

According to SuperSavvyMe our wardrobes are full of clothes that we never wear because they are 'not fresh enough to wear.' Eh? Really? Mine has a few items that I never wear because I'm too fat, a few that are a dodgy colour and a few items that come out for parties, weddings or funerals.
Given that I wouldn't put anything actually soiled back in the wardrobe, 'not fresh enough to wear' has never registered on my radar. Presumably you are meant to take perfectly clean items out of wardrobes and wash and iron them again so they are fresh enough.
Are these people real????

I saw a tip on my facebook wall (don't know why it appeared there as I've never clicked "like" the company)

When you change your winter clothes over for summer ones wipe the closet with a mild Flash solution so it starts out clean for the new season.

I mean what? That's two confusing issues there. I need to go and lie down. :eek:

I was asked by a friend if I had any spring cleaning tips last weekend. I told her that Spring hadn't really started, given the weather, so I was leaving it for next year. She looked shocked when I confirmed I wasn't joking.

I've got a house guest staying in very early July, and should probably sort out a few things before I go on holiday until June 30th. Then again, I could just burn the flat down and offer to put them up in a hotel instead.

Barney the labradoodle decided to help with the dishwasher pre rinse yesterday, got his collar caught on the basket, panicked, dragged the fully loaded basket 4' across the kitchen, broke 3 dinner plates, big chips in 2, and smashed my big Pyrex jug He's fine, I think this is a message from doG that we should use paper plates.

That made me laugh!

Well, despite the scorching heat today, I am clearing up my disgrace of a house

The kids want a BBQ later and if that is going to happen, I will need to find some areas in the kitchen to prepare food

Why oh why did I not do all of this when it was cooler so I could enjoy the sunshine? (because I am a slob, that's why)

My latest sloblady thing,is..I took the duvet cover off to wash it, shook it so it wouldn't be inside out in the washing machine and out fell 4 pairs of pants
When I last washed it I " forgot" to check whether anything had been trapped :rotfl: Thought I was getting low on knickers! Any way, don.t have to go and buy any now
