I wonder who wrote that - a man?

All housework does for me is add more stress to my day!!!lol but i do like a nice clean house

[connieb19]

I know a bloke who gets really annoyed if his friends turn up on a Saturday at his house because that is his cleaning and ironing day!! It wouldn't be me, I always say, the housework will still be there when I come home. I only do housework when I have nothing else to do..

I don't mind housework, i don't mind doing the ironing, it's just after when you have finished and you know that you've got to carry the 2 ton of clothes upstairs, to put it all away,you reach the top. You are that overloaded with clothes that you can't see in front of you, that you trip over the dog and the clothes that you spent the last 2hrs ironing land all over the floor.

When I get bored I do things like clean out the pantry. Once I even cleaned out my wardrobe, and threw out anything I had not worn for 5 years, reduced my clothing by 80%.

The toilet has one of those things you clip on the side,and I own a toilet brush.

A small dog is terrific for cleaning plates, and things one spills on the floor. Dog saliva has all sorts of good bacteria so it means the plates won't go mouldy while waiting for enough to wash, ( dishwashers are expensive).
Don't have small dog, Steal one, I have a toy poodle. Stay away from rottweillers though.

In the meantime, pop down to the shops and get a tablecloth or nice sheet, and spread it over the sink if you have unexected guests. At a pinch, use a sheet off someone else's bed.

Cooking for children: A pound of rice or rolled oats will last a week and feed up to 5 children a day. With the oats , you make gruel.With the rice you make congee, essentially the same; half a cup of the grain, and a gallon of water. Bring to the boil, and simmer for 8 hours. Not advisable to give children especially boys meat, makes them aggressive. (Source: Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist)

See, both housekeeping and child rearing can be fun--and profitable. When a child is about 4 they make first rate chimney sweeps. Or if you want to make more money, invest in a hand loom. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination and level of callousness.

You know that song that says "I HATE men"? Well I HATE housework just as much.I have urges when I want to get rid of everything.One of these coincided with a charity bag put through the door.I filled it and then forgot to put it out.When I looked in my wardrobe I missed what I'd put in the bag so it's all been put back-ready for the next time.PS,I don't really hate men,well you can't if you've got sons,can you?

Agreed. But I would sack the poodle and get a labrador - no need to wash the dishes at all then - just put them straight back in the cupboard

You have a point there but I was wondering if a dog or a cat would be more thorough?

Housework? I prefer the method the Zulu use.
You build your Kraal on a slope, you put the entrance at the bottom of the slope and when the heavy rain comes - problem solved!
Providing you remember to open the gates that is!

And we thought they should learn from us?

Probably the man who really knows how, like this one maybe?

<laughing> Actually, if I had something like that, Kingetter, I'd have no end of volunteers for helping with the vacuuming...and one less chore for me to worry about ever again!

Welcome back, btw.

i dont mind cleaning when i'm in the mood. keep on moving things around in the kitchen and it drives my lot barmy. although with the kids on hols i dunno why i bother as soon as the hoovering is done its a mess again.

[Jeid]

I really don't mind cleaning, in fact, once I get started, it's usually difficult for me to stop. I randomly clean though. Last night I made myself a snack when I got home and ended up cleaning the cooker. No idea why.

I think I'm a bit obsessive about tidyness at times.
