If for one week somebody came in and did a chore for you what would it be?

Mine would be somebody to put ALL the clean laundry away. It's neverending.

Proper deep clean of the carpets (with a washer thing). Its not so much the cleaning, as the moving of the furniture.

Fix something! Everything is in varying states of decay, would be marvellous if week by week things started working again.

Picking things up off the floor.

I answered this question here about five years ago. Sadly, the answer hasn't changed.

colditz Sad so bad you had to tell us twice Thanks

For me: cooking! Everything else I can do myself, most of it doesn't bother me. Sweeping and mopping is a necessary hasske, but laundry, ironing, cleaning the bathrom... nope, they don't phade me.

But, cooking, grrrrrrrrr hate it, hate it, hate it. It's just fuel. Chopped onions, peppers and garlic come frozen in bags, thanks. I make Christmas pudding but it bores the arse hairs off me, despite having a lovely friend who is my Christmas-pudding-cooking-buddy.

Sorting washing. Luckily dd does it whilst I sit and boss her about Grin but not often enough only once a week it really needs to be 3 at least.

day four in Zombie land as baby DD is teething and has a virus. I'm so tired I want to cry, but I won't. I need to reserve my energy.

I'm so exhausted that I need a new word.

I'm Zombed.

I haven't had a full night sleep since DS1 was born almost 12 years ago, so my wish is a night nurse, on duty from 11pm till 7am so I can have a full night sleep.
every night

Washing up - how much longer will I have to wait to sort my kitchen out and go back to having a dishwasher again?

fussy I once was without my washing machine for 3 weeks. I was slightly traumatised. it was genuinely horrible. we do have 6 kids, baby was only 7 months old.

I couldn't function properly - but the silver lining was that in my rebellious hours of "If-I-can't-do-the-washing-&-can't -keep-up-I-might-as-well-do-fuck-all" I was fuffing about on the Internet and found Mumsnet.

so don't despair. something good will come out of it.Wink
