Overbent you slay me. I hate the little bu**ers smug little face, and the Tweddle like floor exercises complete with back flips as well. I flatly refuse to go anywhere near him!
As for house work - I loath all of it!

Overbent's henry story just had me in stitches! very good.
I was walking past a shop earlier and had to do a double take on a pink hoover. I do believe it was henry's relative.
She's called Hetty!!

hoovering tell me is that where your ment to push an object over your floor to clean it, or is it like this ironing thing people talk about have tried it a few times but why bother when clothes look better after being streched over radiator than useing a heavy thing to put creases in my clothes

I clean houses for a living - great job (not), well most are ok but there one or two that just make you mad, honestly some peolpe dont lift a finger from week till the next, they just leave it all for me to deal with. I often hear that peolpe clean before the cleaner comes, trust me I wish some peolpe would , or at least tidy up so I can clean!!!!! |

I'm not sure you would want to know.... O.k. Well I have to say that quite often it is the people with too much money are the worst. To the point where today I have actually phone in sick as I cant face the house I meant to do!! They use every plate, knife, fork etc. in the house before washing up (and they have a dishwasher), there is often teabags, or fish skins stuck in the sink plug hole so the smell is just awful, and dont even go in the bathroom, this every week  There was one couple I used to go to ( Ineed to be careful now, this could get x-rated), They thought they were very clever in putting things away until they asked once to clear from under the bed and do a good spring clean, maybe I shouldnt go any further but let me tell you what I found was not pleasent..... |

Overbent just read this whole thread you are hysterical i have given u a karma, i am almost scared to say I have a henry ive had him for 20 yrs and i am quite attatched to him. OH has just bought the pet dyson, he says dysons are fab How he would know i have no idea, he does not know where i keep it.
My worst job is windows, they always look fine till the sun comes out, even when its freezing its always there peering through my bloody windows showing all the smears, and my mum in law lives very close and she always points out my smears grrrrrrr

Thanks Stephjw1, I can see that working with a single bed, does it work the same for a king size?? I always manage to make a pig's ear of it and get myself sweaty and bad-tempered into the bargain!!

Well MM it depends on how wide you can stretch your arms I can manage a double, but would probably need help with a kingsize,!!!!!!!

try using a clothes peg to hold the corners of the duvet in the cover - I'm vertically challenged with short arms and it works ok for me

I loathe and detest ironing, always have, when I used to do office work inevitably would wear shirt with jumper on top, only ever ironed the collar and bit you could see which was fine until the weather changed and the office got all hot and stuffy - I jus got redder and redder.....
I too have a blind spot when confronted by Henry - I am always talking to it "COME ON HENRY" when it wraps its wheels around the cord and falls over, jams itself against a piece of furniture etc....I now possess 4 Hoovers of varyiong brands, bagless, bags, push or drag and not one of the buggers can do all the jobs I need so are stashed around the house lurking around corners.
However, I do love the house when I do break down and do a proper thorough clean a la my mother....nowdays when anyone wants to look at the house with a view to buy.
I also hate gardening and all my bulbs bought preXmas are growing in the bags (not the soil) but I still went out and bought various vegetable seeds even though the old veg patch is thigh high in weeds!!!!
Its a wonder I am still married......

"Its not just clothes its makeup, toiletries, and things like you wouldnt believe, what amazes me is she surfaces out of the bedroom looking and smelling like a glamour queen, leaving a trail of destruction behind her " This sounds just like my daughter used to be Suddenly one day she announced she had a boyfriend she was bringng home to meet us and magically her room became spotless overnight  I was left in no doubt that he came from a "Clean" house where his mother did housework It also means she will now tidy up the living room etc if he is coming over, it's great!!! And i promise i will try and ignore him checking to see if there are any doghairs on the sofa before he sits down in his immaculate light coloured trousers and will try not to hear him telling her she "smells" when she has just been to feed the horses. It's been nearly a year now and we have just got him to sit on one of the horses and empty a wheelbarrow so maybe there's hope......  ? |
