to get pissed off with my cleaner for building towers?

[hf128219]

Yes - towers of books on my coffee table. I have 2 piles of books - you know the usual type of coffee table books.

She will polish it and then put the 2 piles into one big one. Then add newspapers and anything else she can lay her hands on.

I get home every night and put it back into 2 piles. She then changes it every day.

I measured it yesterday and 'the tower' was
20 inches high.

AIBU or do people have 'towers' on their coffee table?

Ooh I have just realised you're the lady who was being referenced on the poshest mumsnetter thread! I think. Is that against mumsnet etiquette to have mentioned that

DH has to wear a Kilt! Yes, seriously.

I have to wear a bullet proof vest.

yes very Margot Ledbetter

what all day, every day? Does the cleaner help you put it on?

theyoungvisitor - apparently you can make magazines less slippery by smearing them with bodily fluids. This is how young men manage to get several years worth of 'Razzle' mags to stack up in their wardrobes without toppling out and scaring the help.

LOL

Why is your husband's kilt relevant to this discussion?! Anyway, I remember you from previous threads when you were talking about moving to Surrey, I have a horrible feeling you must live near me. Surely it is your husband wearing the bullet proof vest given that he is in the forces?

[UTTERLY confused by where the kilt comes in - what has this to do with towers?]

Are you the Queen? Prince Philip wears a kilt doesn't he?

Is your name Camilla?

snort

I can't help wondering if your bullet proof vest and you dh's sporran have ever been mixed up by mistake?

It would be handy if your dh was ever shot in his nethers but you'd be surely buggered.

Haha at names of the magazines!

And bullet proof vests can't do much for the streamlined look. You couldn't have a muffin top and a bullet proof vest.

What do you do all day while someone is cleaning your house and your husband is head of Nato in his kilt or whatever. Are you a ninja assassin? Intriguing.

She probbly polishing the corgis

i think this thread was created to draw attention to your 'poshness' to give you a little lift.

I'm sure Yachting Monthly and Country Life have a special bodily-fluid-repellent coating on them. Anything so outre would simply bounce off onto a lowerclass passerby.

And yet horse shit appears to stick quite well to them!

op has provided a lot of royal gossip on other threads.....

DH has the digital camera so cannot post a pic of 'tower'. However I must correct myself it is not Yachting Monthly it is Yachting World.

Found an edition in a 'Tower'. It talks about 30 tips for Crossing the Atlantic.

intrigued by dhs job
maybe sean connery ......

I bet Gordon Brown has a kilt. And Sarah probably has to wear a bullet proof vest when out and about.

But I can't see him yachting somehow.

Does your mobile phone not have a camera?

Actually wearing Kevlar is marvellous for shedding a few pounds - carrying round a few pounds of it in body armour can burn up to 300 calories a day.

I was reading the other day about some new fitted lingerie which was impregnated with it, not quite bullet proof but would provide some defence from close blast injuries.
