The Dogmother Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Threads tend to wax and wane over time, people leave them for various reasons, most seem to come back. I expect that it'll pick up again soon enough. Things tend to slow down around this time of year, what with exams and stuff to be getting on with.

The Dogmother Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I love housework Cooks, and agree with you that work gets in the way - mine never seems to be finished to my satisfaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I feel that both my boys made a pact early in life to mess up anything I have already tidied.. I am sat on my bottom now and I am refusing to get up for another half hour, then its kitchen floor which takes ages to do properly because it's too big! trouble is trying to convince the dogs that they dont need to walk on my clean floor isn't going well... we disagree on this isue, they think it's fun to chase the mop head too!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 My leccy is supposed to be going off at 11.00 and its 11.06 - any minute now !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Well, Rosie's room is now beyond the pale! She has gone from being a tidy child to an untidy teenager, and I object to freshly laundered and ironed clothes being dumped on the floor. It has been really bad for so long now that I am going in with a bin bag and shovel while she's away at guide camp this weekend. I have asked her dad to pop round and help me shift furniture to get the hoover and mop underneath. i am not a tidy fanatic, far from it, but it has to be clean.

Egluntyne Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 My house is gleaming from top to bottom......had to stay in whilst Simply Clean tackle my oven. Thought I'd put the time to good use.

chick wiggle Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Nah, i would have to spend a week cleaning it before they come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I need to work on day less per week to get the cleaning done... fat chance of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 well all that talk of cleaning ovens, I just spent the best part of an hour scrubbing mine clean, in fairness to me it is a range with TWO ovens. I hate cleaning my oven *sigh* I got my arms all soggy and had to change my top and I still haven't mopped the kitchen floor... oh well later now my arms are killing me from scrubbing the glass doors.

Laura & CTB Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Tut - you should all do like me and clean your oven after each time you use it - that way it takes just a couple of minutes I could, at this point start to feel smug... ( I wont because at this moment I know my utility room floor has nearly got more aubiose on it than the chicken run floor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 ..... in fairness to me it is a range with TWO ovens. In my defence, so is mine! It looks like a showroom model now. I could never get it that clean in a month of Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) My day was good, got some help from a teacher about maths I can now rationalise surds (not as dramatic as you may think ) Also, I'm sorry if my posts came across as unpleasant, overly sarcastic or grumpy. Its hard to tell on a forum what you are really trying to say, and I'm sorry if my posts have made you offended, made upset or anything.

Sheilaz Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Well, next time I need to rationalise some surds, I'll know who to ask! What year are you Fred? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
