For the love of Jesus and the wee donkey!

when you drag the Dyson upstairs, vacuum the bedrooms, landing, stairs, sweating your head off.
Put Dyson away, in cupboard downstairs having to wrangle with mops and brooms and ironing boards that all fall out ever time you open the bastard cupboard..
One last admiring look at your lovely clean stripes in your carpets..
Have a lovely shower (cleaning it at the same time) then..

Take a clean T shirt out of the drawer, that’s inside out, turn it the right way to have a volcanic confetti shower of tissue or paper that it’s been fucking washed with all over freshly Dysoned bedroom carpet.

Fuuuuuck.
Cake? No cake?

no cake. There are better ways to deal with minor frustrations.

ColinRobinsonsfamiliar · 28/08/2022 10:11

Cake (and coffee to wash it down 👍)

dudsville · 28/08/2022 10:13

I think @LadyKenya might be right, this is certainly "spa weekend" level.

😂

ColinRobinsonsfamiliar · 28/08/2022 10:16

Oh. Hadn’t thought of that.
Spa weekend you say…

I do feel THAT embittered by this Sunday morning occuramce that it may well be the only thing for it.

They serve cake at Spa weekends right?

Also, what's the longest you're able to go without washing a tissue? I seem to manage about 6 months, then I become complacement. It last happened to me about a month ago so I'm checking pockets both on the way to put the item in the laundry basket and then again before putting the item in the wash. Feckin tissues.

dudsville · 28/08/2022 10:16

That they do @ColinRobinsonsfamiliar !

SoupDragon · 28/08/2022 10:16

the problem with cake is the crumbs. You must eat it very carefully to avoid more cleaning up.

Fairyliz · 28/08/2022 10:16

I check my washing at least three times, but somehow a blasted tissue always seems to get in with a black wash.
So I suggest cake and gin!

Georgeskitchen · 28/08/2022 10:27

Chocolate victoria sponge, preferably home made, fresh cream in the middle topped with real Cadbury chocolate.
You must eat the whole cake
That is an order

Crocky · 28/08/2022 10:34

A reason is never needed for cake.

SheWoreYellow · 28/08/2022 10:36

What sort of cake?

Cigarettesaftersex1 · 28/08/2022 10:39

Spa weekend isn't a treat, it's a punishment. Definitely cake

cbatopainttheshed · 28/08/2022 10:45

BIG slice of cake op. Preferably at a nice coffee shop with nice coffee too 😁

Q2C4 · 28/08/2022 10:47

Definitely cake, but @SoupDragon makes a very good point re crumbs!

comfortablyfrumpy · 28/08/2022 11:07

All of the cake. Definitely .

CatsandFish · 28/08/2022 11:29

Cake is always the answer. That and ice cream.

LadyCatStark · 28/08/2022 11:31

Oh you’ll burn the calories off re vacuuming surely 😂.
