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?

Incidentally OP, if your DH does work for the firm is it slightly unwise to be alluding to it on an Internet forum where neither your IP or your computer is properly protected

Again. Why can you sort out these piles? You know, put away? It is what we all do when things are getting piled up and unorganised.

Whoever said my poshness needed lifting - oh, how i laughed. Why would I want to do that?

The kilt came into the conversation because I said the cleaner needs to fine tune dh's work wear.

or your laptop probably has a web cam?

Go on, we want to see the incredibly posh house that requires 4 hours cleaning a day teetering 30" pile with out own eyes.

Am now pondering what kind of close "blast" injuries one might be likely to get while dressed in lingerie .........

Fine tune his kilt?

OP has said in the past she works for HMRC and that she does investigative work - so I reckon she investigates people who are trying to get away with not paying their tax bill

So why do you have magazines in your pile that you have no interest in and can't even remember the name of?

Work for the firm? The Royals?

Work for the firm? The Royals?

oh, you see you didn't say "work wear" in your original post, you said "work stuff". Which I interpreted to be paperwork etc, hence the mention of the kilt was a bit confusing.

That'd be a 'no' then.

Good stuff.

Very good always. I hang out at LHR with a big yellow glove

annh - lots of people don't like wearing body armour because it makes it hard to move fast when you need to. Whereas if you can have something under your clothes which is close fitting it might be easier should you need to make a sharp exit.

Besides, who wants to be seen in body armour, it's so 2007.

Big yellow glove - not the sort for rooting around for contraband in deep dark places I hope

Well at least there are no towers of shit - just piles

haha! You are very funny (for a posho).

PMSL

I just read the last 2 posts on this thread

clicked on active convo's and the first thread I saw

"Some bloody arseholes"

Shitty areseholes are more common

Think of me as being in Spooks.

I hope you checked her passport

Cannot check all passports - they are all in a big 'tower'

I hate towers.

bloody hell, she has more than one? you'll be turned over in the mail on sunday

still stuck on coffee table reads. Our current faves on display are Ben 10 Alien Force and The Mirror, surrounde by empty packets of trick or treating goodies.

Can I borrow your cleaner?

Ah, I see, you are an actor, in a second rate depiction, with declining audience, who is shoehorning in totty to provide entertainment.

It all becomes clear.

Is is Mumsnet towers you hate, or do you have Rapunzel syndrome?

I do not have a coffee table BTW - this seems to avoid this issue entirely.
