Just moved into my DP's house, went go get a bottle of cleaner out to wipe the sides. Found it in a cupboard with spiders and cobwebs attatched to it! Bloody gross.Yuck!

I used to clean windows so rarely that the window cleaning fluid lasted years. Then one day when I was cleaning windows, I squeezed the ancient plastic bottle and it split down the middle sending bits of window cleaning fluid in all directions.Smile

the only clean items in your home are dusters and cleaning cloths!

The light shade looks, improbably, to be made of fur.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

Is that not right?

ah I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like this.
I often use it as an excuse so it will put of any potential burglars.
that makes me feel better ;-)
