My DS age 14 woke me up from a dream about Jack Bauer to ask if I would iron him a pair of jeans, that had already been ironed but just weren't up to his idea of perfection. Little swine!

I dont own an iron. Your DS would be no good here

My loose covers have not come out well at all. I was aiming black. They have gone the sort of colour a mans face would go if threatened with said hammer and nails. I am not at all scary.

At least he wants his ironed, DS just takes things from the ironing pile:mad:

He's no good here anyway:rotfl:

Bit his head of the other day because he said that as he had done the vacuuming FOR ME, I should be quite happy to make him a snack an hour after dinner time and bring it up to his room, with a drink.

For a start it took me two hours of asking before he eventually vacuumed ONE room downstairs and then put the hoover away thinking I only wanted the living room done despite the fact that the dining room and office looked as if some hens had been in there.

I love him really though, he's a right Mammys boy xx Just dont want him to think that the womens role it to be the skivvy of the family.....like me.

that bloke that turns up at yours for meals...can't he do the dishes??? Just a thought...:D

I should be so lucky............actually, he did do them once a couple of months ago. I've still never worked out what motivated him to do it......or what kind of guilty conscience he had!! :rotfl:

I am sooooooooo happy now - I have space to put one!!! I've swapped the toaster and the skillet for the microwave and the breadmaker.

OK, so maybe it wasn't a major move around :rolleyes: but it has freed up plenty of space to the left of the sink and gives me the space under the TV to work. I'll probably store the skillet on top of the dishwasher otherwise it will get stuck in that corner, although I don't use it much anyway.

Previously, all the pots went under the TV but now they can all go on the other side until I buy one!

I have to point out at this stage that all those funny purple speckles are NOT on my tiles!!! I took the photos with my mobile.
ooooooooooh, I think I'm a stage nearer a dishwasher! :T :T Time to start looking at prices, vouchers, codes, % off :T






God, how sad am I.............I really need to get a life........:o :rolleyes: :rotfl:

I am not having much luck today. Well apart from getting curtains sorted. I have been painting the kitchen this aft. I have dropped some paint on tiles on floor and not realised. What a sod. Splot splot splot as she walks the paint through the house. At this rate it will take me longer to clean up than it is to decorate. I should have got a man in............ Then a decorator. Must keep my mind on the job. Must keep my mind on the job.

I was very good and didnt swear, in fact my kids have never heard me swear, just a funny thing with me as I never heard my Mother swear either.

The boys dont use bad language in front of me or Hubby either, although God only knows how they talk at school. It was quite funny the other week as oldest son was on Xbox live and didnt realise I could hear him and shouted stop shooting me you Wan*** to one of his friends.

I shouted EXCUSE ME!!! he was so embarrased I had to really hold my laugh in, bless him. But you have to have a few boundaries I think.
