He'll be back in a minute to make you a cup of tea before he paints your toe-nails for you, won't he?

I can see that you're not necessarily a lucky woman, it's that you've trained him properly from the start. Good for you!

funny you should mention that - one of the things I first said to him when he moved in was that I would consider hoovering as foreplay

Now that's a very useful tip... I'll have to remember it!

don't give him the impression that ironing is part of the service... make him do his own.


Your mum probably hid it, so I'd blame her if I were you...

Both excellent points I shall henceforth blame my mum for hoover hiding, and that's why the house won't be hoovered next time she comes round

As for the ironing - I'm going with it being a fair trade for the washing up, taking out the bins and dusting (all jobs I hate even more than ironing :rotfl:) - suppose I had to give in on something!

I've not been on the OS board long, so I don't know if I'm just really lazy, or haven't yet got into the swing of things

Managed to defrost the freezer today (more ice than food in there :eek:)... But I haven't cleaned the oven, there's a mountain of washing to do, and another thread has just reminded me that I really should change the bedlinen :shhh:

Think it's time to resurrect this thread.

Although I've done some housework today, it was only because I could see I had to do it. Having not vacuumed the stairs since December or vacuumed our bedroom in as long or in fact cleaned the bath properly in about four weeks, I felt maybe I should get on with it.:eek:

Seriously though, it is not my favourite way of spending time.;):D And I love to read the posts of others who feel the same as me i.e. that there are so many better things we could be doing and that a lot of housework could be left a lot longer than people realise. And also that it's not worth stressing over either.. well not too regularly anyway:D

And I have made brownies and Cornish Fairings today, but the living room is a pit and I'm going to a friend's for a Chinese tonight. Just noticed the patio doors are covered in tiny paw prints from where His Majesty does his "I want to come in, Mummy" dance.....

I have been ill all week with a nasty bug and have regularly looked at the housework then ignored it. Today I cleaned very quickly then thought 'blow it' the sun was shining, picked up Dgs and went for a walk round the garden centre. I am definately feeling tired off it all. Hoping to be better tomorrow then I can actually finish my sewing and the 8 million other things I have to do!

I have 5 loads of washing sat waiting in my kitchen and the washing machine is empty!

I have a pile of washing up from dinner to do

Ther e is a big sticky patch on my living room floor from where my daughter spilt a drink this morning...i just keep stepping over it.

I have about 6 things in my fridge that needs throwing out

and lastly i still have my plate of half eaten food sat next to me from when i ate dinner about 3 hours ago!

I really should get off my backside...

I have a huge mountain of ironing. Instead of tackling it, I am drinking Rose and reading threads on the OS board.
