Apparently I'm a !!!!!!...

My hubby is 5'10 and I'm 4'11, one day he stood in the kitchen looked at the top of the 5'6 fridge freezer and said 'Have you seen how dirty the top of this thing is?'. He now cleans the top himself!
I warned him when we first talked about moving in together that whilst I am an enthusiastic sexual partner, I don't have any interest in housewifery apart from cooking and if he couldn't deal with that then we'd best call it a day. We've been together 13 years now!

I have a lot of health issues and I can't complain about my husband, but he does need a bit of a push sometimes if I ask him to do something.Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

I have never been so proud to be a !!!!!!... although I can't help thinking it would be more fun if it was of the promiscuous variety!
When we moved in, I put my fridge freezer on "appliance movers" - a set of rollers that I got free from the storage place I had to keep stuff in for a while. Still haven't rolled it out to clean behind though!0 -

Rofl, this is almost exactly the conversation I had with DH.
I'm horrified when peoe move this stuff how much UK gets behind and under them. So horrified I which that builders etc would stop moving the big appliances so I didn't have to see the dirt!:rotfl:
I clean stuff behind if its moved out for work. Otherwise I clean around it, and it. Sort of. I don't clean below knee level these days, that's someone else's job. I might ask someone to poke a vacuum behind them as well as possible once or twice a year, but no more than that. Life's too short. If I were spending less mime being a slattern I'd have correspondingly less time to be something else fun.
Actually, we have a mouse behind our cooker and fridge as of yesterday. The cats are in the kitchen now. They'll dislodge some dust and dander from behind the appliances I'm sure.0 -

Well, that is according to that lovely man Godfrey Bloom anyway.

Just as well he hasn't been to my house and lifted up the sofa cushions and peeped under the microwave........
Life is too short! :T

MIL keeps a show house but if OH wants our place to look like that he knows where the cleaning supplies are kept lol.“I want to be a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum'Coz how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?" ~ Dr A.

He could become the national fridge moving slave :rotfl:
Is some poor foolish woman married to this idiot? I think the Slatterns of the Nation need to club together and stage an intervention in her household; we can hogtie him to a broom handle and use him to poke the dust out of remote corners.
Like Texas.Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.
