Arrrgh! I have an hour an half to clean my whole house.

[DooinMeCleanin]

The Virgin Media man is coming to fit TiVo and a second box upstairs. You can't get to where he'll need to be upstairs for toys.

You can't get to where he'll need to be downstairs for wires, games and bits of miscellaneous electrical crap.

You can't through the hall into the house for golf club, tents, hifis and bikes (don't ask)

I have bin bags. I am being brutal. I think if the dc have to the toys they haven't used for years charity shopped the golf clubs and hifi should also be charity shopped, imo. They've sat at mils for 7 years unused and have been in my hallway for 4 months now. The tent has been there 2 years despite repeated threats to burn it.

stay and chat dooin me dear, there's some lovely juuuiiiicccy threads going on....

That's not helpful Sal. Two bags down and the dc's room is begining to take the appearance of a bedroom again as opposed to a jumble sale store room.

Now for the golf clubs I could tell Dh I have sent them to someone with an attic to be stored for when he wants them, couldn't I? I mean he's never played golf in the whole 7 and half years we've known each other. He's never going to ask for them, right?

But, but, but I might have more than half an hour. He's coming anytime between 12pm and 6pm. I might have right until 6pm.

He's going to turn up in five minutes isn't he?

Bastard dog thread distracting me from doing this yesterday

puts stern voice on Dooin, get your black bags and put anything you knwo kids have not played with in 4 months in said black bags for the charity shops, they may notice they may care but it wont kill them, then clear a quick path to where virgin man needs to get so if he does appear at 12 he can do his job, then sort properly!

then when it's finished you are allowed back on MN OK????

Stacey is a better person than me.

i hate clutter im one of these sad people who lives in a show home unless im working 12hr days, as i am right now in which case it's a shit hole and i want to cry but it's all dont in 1 hr a day, im like a whilrwind in the mornings!

Well dooin is about an hour down now, hopefully it's going well!

I just need to make the dc beds and mop their floor then I can move into the living room. While I have been doing that the dogs have found a bin bag and ripped it apart all over the back of the house.

If he needs the loo I'm just going to have to tell him I have three aggressive dogs so he can't go out the back

Oh yes and I've been given an hours reprieve. DH just text to say the man has gone on his lunch break so it will between 1pm and 6pm now. They don't know where he's going first yet, but it won't be here because he's not in our town yet

well done dooin if you feel the need you can shuffle over here later and do my cleaning?? smiles sweetly

No I'm on strike for at least a year after this

ah you meanie, i shall have to rope the children slave labour in when they're back from school, im having palpatations about the state of my house!

Okay. Kids room done. I think that deserves a coffee break.
