It is with regret that I must tender my (temporary) resignation from the Sloblady thread.

Last weekend I washed the bed linen.
Earlier this week, I cleaned the bathroom.
Last night, I defrosted the freezer.
And this morning, I have hoovered.

I will miss you all. But I will return in about three months, when I've done nothing since!

i had a fit of cleaning since Thursday and my whole house is gleaming, tidy and I think I'm in a coma, mad or something equally disturbing.

I'm doing nothing more strenuous than eating chocolate bikkies tomorrow tho. Well, I may watch a film.

My partner is a cleanie. Aaagh.

He cleans my house now and then (with his reading glasses on end of nose! ) To better see the smears etc!)

I love him to bits. Even when he finds things I don't want to know about.

My mantra is... Don't tell me about it just do it!

And he does. Am I lucky or what! But if he is away or whatever, I revert to type, awaiting his return, as you do. And he just gets on with it.

Aaagh

I'm banned now I'd say. But it's not ME being a cleanie you see!

It is sometimes terrifying to be told there is so much grease on this cooker it's unreal... But I go to another (untidy) room, and let him at it.

To be fair, he is early retired, with mucho time on hands. Great!

Ahhh Christmas - the perfect time for a sloblady to practise her art! I shall be putting my feet up, cuddling the cat and watching films for the next two weeks, and woe betide anything or anyone that gets in the way of that very important business!

But in my defence, the fumes can be toxic to small animals and eldest son's gf had her hedgehog over to visit.

Oh there is an easy way round that.......don't put the hedgehog in the oven.....we prefer the traditional turkey at this time of year:D

So house is looking its best - all tidy and sparkly. Presents under tree and Christmas chocs well and truly broken into now I just put everything I couldnt find a home for in our bedroom for now - should be safe there until Easter:)

Once a year is allowed.

No more than that ok? :j

Definitely. No danger of any more than that.

At least Santa won't break his neck this year when he delivers my exquisitely wrapped diamond jewellery.

Is there something in the air this year? I never understood my mum's need to have the house clean ready for us to mess it up on christmas day but this year, I've suddenly got the urge. And from the sounds of it, lots of fellow slobladies have too!

I find a generous Baileys and a handy box of chocs works wonders

Honestly Raksha, cobwebs sprayed with glitter are easy on the eye and does away with the tiresome urge to drag half the garden into the house. Ask me how I know.
