Count your teabags (that was the job we always used to give DD when she was 4/5 and she wanted to help in the kitchen; her idea of ‘help’ made things loads more difficult).

Wipe all the skirting boards, door frames and light switches.

OP if you've run out of tea bags I suggest you get to the shops. It would nothing short of a disaster if I ran out of tea bags!

I was going to say have a nap, but maybe not the best idea if kids are baking a cake! I'd be stressed to bits over that if I were in your situation, not bored!Grin

Can you take a photo of me for my online passport application? I've taken 29 and they're all wrong Hmm It's the Chandler/Monica engagement photo scenario all over again Sad

CremeEggThief · 11/08/2021 16:00

Maybe have the nap then!

I'd still be stressed that they wouldn't clear up properly, mind. You need the nap so you'll have energy to make sure it's done right, hopefully by them!

Could you please write some emails for me while I have a nap? Or possibly find someone to sort out my garden?

balzamico · 11/08/2021 16:03

Yesterday I did the grout in my two showers with a toothbrush which led me into all kinds of exciting books and crannies to clean - how could you resist!!!

balzamico · 11/08/2021 16:03

I also hoovered the curtains where the dog sleeps against them

Bryonyshcmyony · 11/08/2021 16:03

I need to sort out my own garden tbf

It's so bad I don't really know where to start

CremeEggThief · 11/08/2021 16:04

Would you like to take some photos of some clothes that won't probably won't sell and list them on eBay for me, if you really want a job instead of a nap? They've only been hanging on the back of my bedroom door since May!

ProperVexed · 11/08/2021 16:06

I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow. I have just drunk a litre of liquid dysentery aka movicol prep. Please could you sit on the loo for me....and perhaps turn up at the hospital tomorrow? I'm dreading it!
