I don't mind ironing or housework in general. I'm strange.

I stopped ironing in 1999 when we had the builders in. Now the bratpackers iron their own stuff when they need it. This does of course mean I can sometimes put the ironing board away up to 20 times a day, and, barring me flipping my lid and them experiencing death by ironing board, but I find it works quite well

My dear old Mum was down staying with us last week and would you believe she loves ironing so I very kindly let her do some each day, and a bit of dusting just to stop her getting withdrawal symptoms.

She does enjoy it,honest.

Nightmare TG I have done that with Bess's blankets - but unfortunately it was my trousers - took a few washes to get rid

I must confess I like hoovering and I really, really like hanging out washing. Funnily enough though, I don't like taking it back in again

. I absolutely hate cleaning the bath though - that really is the pits. Well......unless you count the oven and the fridge......

Sorry Foxy and Sandra but by the time she finished doing my house I don't think she would have the energy for anyone else. If you knew my house you would know what I mean.

the oven is the worst by far..

BC's mum has someone in to do her cooker - cookerburra or something like that.

Where's Marya by the way? Don't tell me Homer's taken her out for the evening

I wasn't having a drink when I started on here but felt obliged to go search for something...................so it's peach schnapps, not very nice really but I'm making a brave effort to get it over

Are you supposed to clean ovens ?

I'd be too embarrassed to get somebody in to do mine - I'd have to clean it first!

Maybe if I hoovered inside it.............

Only when you've got absolutely nothing left in the cupboard and you can rustle up a nice steak pie with what you scrape off the bottom

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 28 Oct 2005, 23:11

Our flat is so dusty, does anyone else find this? I thought it was maybe living by the sea as have never come across anywhere else I have lived - not that I dust every day

I thought it sounded extreme at first but maybe you should hoover it right enough

I've never had a JD and pepsi in my life before but seeing as Mr Spoon has rather a lot of JD in the cupboard thought I'd give it a try................sorry but yeugh! ,not surprising really as I hate any type of whiskey. Gave it to Mr TG and surprise surprise he likes it and it has just put him in the mood for one of his own whiskies. Look what you have started !!!

Oh dear, sorry!

Mr Spoon won't be too pleased either.

Oh Mr Spoon won't mind(I hope) he's had a few bottles for ages and I think he has gone off it.
