I’ve just found out what DH did on his day off.

He deep cleaned the house. Like all the sketchy bits, behind the furniture, the skirting boards, the dodgy bits of dust and grime in the creases in the window frames, degreased the extractor filters, all that nonsense throughout the whole house.

I only discovered it because I went to wipe a handprint off a door and, jif in hand, went to do all the doors. They were clean!

He didn’t mention it. Which is out of character as he can be a bit of a glory hunter wrt housework stuff. But he just said he was off work, kids were all out, I was at work and he needed something to do. He’s even descaled the kettle ffs.

This is untenable. How can I ever do pass agg cleaning around him now when he’s done six months worth of my jobs for me. Fucker.

6 months worth of jobs in a single day off?!?!?!

Well, I'll pay triple what the others are offering OP! I'll send you a pm to arrange 😂😂😂😂

OMG he DOES have a lack of messages from unknown people. I’m getting my ducks in a row right now.

Ring a solicitor for a free 30 min consultation

Either guilty conscience or he wants something…..when something looks too good to be true, it is……

Annemaria · 05/11/2022 18:20

I thought you were going to say he was seeing his mistress! He sounds great.😀

Mammma91 · 05/11/2022 18:46

He can pop round here anytime he has his next day off. We have plenty of grimy hand prints on windows, mirrors and my windows need a good clean inside and out! Oh and he’s welcome to run the hoover round and stick a wash on too. What a lovely surprise!!!

LouDeLou · 05/11/2022 18:49

🤣🤣🤣

Janepaige · 05/11/2022 18:51

He clearly murdered a prostitute whilst you were at work and had to deep clean to remove trace evidence, it’s the only explanation x

murdered sex workers, how hilarious!

Mummyto3ds · 05/11/2022 19:25

Mine too! He did the tops of the kitchen cupboards. Descaled kettle, cleaned bannister etc. Don’t recon I’ve looked at those for 18m!

I’ve just found out what DH did on his day off.
Dibbydoos · 05/11/2022 19:33

Congrats, OP, that's great! Now he just needs to do that once every 3/4 months and you're sorted!

My hubby would do that every so often but in between - he was a SAHD - the house would be clean but not sparkling. And everytime he did it, it made me smile.

Just wanted to say, this is such an excellent thread!

LifeOfBriony · 05/11/2022 21:04

Is there something in the air? I finally decided to book a cleaner to do a long overdue deep clean of the bathroom and kitchen. Came home from work to the smell of bleach. DH was cleaning the bathroom. He'd cleaned the mould off the grouting, he's cleaned the mirror, the window and the window frames, and now he's cleaned the carpet. When I asked him what the cleaner was going to do, he just said he was getting the bathroom ready for the cleaner. 😖Confused

Lucky you, first poster. Don’t knock it!

wibblewobbleball · 05/11/2022 21:12

Weirdly, my DH is great at those sort of jobs. He has them on a little list on his calendar Blush So some Saturdays I find him downstairs descaling the coffee machine, soaking the dishwasher filter, replacing the boiling water tap filter etc etc. I would never ever do those jobs even if they were on my calendar as a reminder Grin

Amzy22 · 05/11/2022 21:30

Just to say this thread is hilarious 😂

VK456 · 05/11/2022 21:35

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this honeyrider 😆

Fluffmum · 05/11/2022 21:45

Mine goes up the pub on his day off. Be grateful

Brackensmomma · 05/11/2022 22:03

Omg. Can I pinch him I'll pay I hate House work.

Took about ages to get the energy to defrost the freezer and only done it cos I got a new one coming tomorrow. Lol.
He's a keeper by the sounds of it but you could hire him out on his days off. You'd make a fortune lol..

Dunnoburt · 05/11/2022 22:05

Wanna swap? 🙏

kennycat · 05/11/2022 22:45

What an absolute arse. Is he usually this inconsiderate or was this very out of character??

Stewball01 · 05/11/2022 23:35

The fucker? 🤣🤣🤣

PatrioticPenny743 · 05/11/2022 23:56

Totally this

NannaKaren · 06/11/2022 00:14

Keeper!

Parentsofaprincess · 06/11/2022 07:37
