Dear wonderful nagging MNetters

Bosomlymatron was in last night. I had my flowery (and therefore unoffensive) folder of lists at the ready. Enter Bosomlymatron stage left....

"Hi BM, I'm in a terrible hurry, but could I just leave you this folder of how I clean each room, and if you could pick any two of those rooms to do tonight, that would be great. I've left all the cleaning stuff in the hall in a big box, and if you could put it away in the Christmas decoration cupboard when you're done that would be perfect. If there are any better cleaning products you could recommend for me to get you, please leave me a list and I'll pick them up tomorrow. Thank you so much, I really must run, I'm late already (total lie)"

Boom!!!!

Returned, went to bed, have had a look round this morning, and she's definitely done 2 rooms, spot on. And put some laundry through. And cleaned DS' trainers and put a fresh PE kit in his bag. Hurrah!!! Thank you all for nagging me to basically grow a pair and not leave a note.

Alright, I did basically say something and run away, but if it wasn't for you lot and the general vote of "ffs woman, man up" I would have just carried on thanking her profusely for a job that wasn't being done for god knows how long.

Tonight, the "ironing talk"

Thank you all Smile

Well done. Every girl needs a bosomlymatron.

We had the ironing talk. I said "I think I may have tumble dried these shirts to death, so you'll probably need to spray them quite heavily...and my iron is pretty rubbish, so it needs to be on the highest setting pretty much most of the time" Proud of my newly developed non offensive "ticking off" skills.

She had a basket of DS' school shirts. Nothing taxing. They look like they've been traced over with a cold spoon.

Conclusion, BM can do a lot of things, ironing is not one of them.
