Which job should DH we prioritise?

we are terminal household underachievers; big ideas, but 3 kids, no sleep and absolutely no house-pride whatsoever. Which would you choose?

  • put up baby gates on stairs
  • clear out study
  • remove and or burn large pile of garden waste
  • tackle laundry mountain (think we might need Sherpa Tensing)
  • tackle DS1's bedroom (oh... god... no......)
  • sew curtains
  • put up coat hooks

Or just take turns to go back to bed all day or play with the sprogs?

Yes. safety is a no brainer actually.

God we're rubbish. If we get one job done in a weekend we're lucky.

Do the garden waste, then you can sit in your beautiful garden and ignore your slummy house.

Take it from one who knows

cadelaide. I suspect you're my kind of gal.

gate first

then hooks

then washing

garden waste can wait for sunday

as can the bedroom

curtains.....that is why safety pins were invented

OK wilf, don't skulk about thinking we've all forgotten this thread.

What did you do?

WilfSell · 05/07/2008 21:48

Thanks cad but the DH got called away to his mum who is very poorly in a hospice. So we were a bit kiboshed. She's still with us but not for long unfortunately. Jobs on back burner.

Sorry to be a downer (not milking or guilt-tripping but didn't want you to think I'd done my normal 'oh I'll just lie in bed all day' number )

Anyhow, we'll get round to it eventually...

Oh God, jobs, house stuff....all bollocks. None of it really matters, as I think you and I already know.

So sorry about MIL.
