I can lend you a cat, if that's your problem ?

MUMINAMILLION · 20/09/2004 19:30

What is THAT????? And where on earth do you find this stuff??

MUMINAMILLION · 20/09/2004 19:31

Well, I have 3 gerbils - do you think they would do the job?

MUMINAMILLION · 20/09/2004 19:32

But then again, they may get eaten by whatever could be lurking in there.

Sorry, killed the thread [shame]. Off to look in the Betterware catalogue ..........

I've missed the 'high' point of this thread... but anyway, I really don't know what came over me today, but I took the covers off the 3 piece suite and chucked them in the washing machine - for the very first time in 10 years!

Clearing out the understairs cupboard, it is badly needing done and I have put it off for an amazing 7 months! DH not taking big major hints to give me a bloomin' hand.

There are spiders in there.

Big ones.

Ironing, ironing and always ironing - I hate it.

I'm pretty good on the bizarre once in a while jobs - in fact, I did lots over the summer holidays because the weather was so bad and the kids were driving me so nuts I just cleaned and cleaned. Cleaned the oven, sorted out under-stairs cupboard, cleared out all our wardrobes, cleared out kitchen cupboards, sorted out stuff for ebay and charity shops: house has never been so organised.

But ironing I just put off and off 'til the pile threatens to tip over and engulf us all.

God Paula ... there are jobs like that here I haven't done in 7 years!!!

Kayleigh · 22/09/2004 12:17

clean the oven. it is revolting. Even bought the Lakeland oven cleaner for it, and that was months ago. I just can't summon up the enthusiasm for it. Am secretly hoping dh will do it if it gets disgusting enough

taking down the uplighters, to remove the latest collection of dead/fried flies - ugh!

blossomhill · 22/09/2004 14:10

I have finally cleaned by cooker today. I used that new stuff called Oven Pride. It was £3.50 from Asda. Brilliant, didn't have to scrub at all and all I really needed to do was wash it out with hot soapy water after about 2 hours. It looks brand new!

Removing all the webby/cocoony thingys from the outsides of my windows - do they have spiders nests in them or just one spider? I really don't want to find out, is there any chance whatsoever that they will simply disappear?[hopeful face]

hana · 22/09/2004 14:30

I'm too scared to read the rest of this 'cause I'll see loads of things I should do in addition to

putting pictures in the photo albums (last done 2 years ago)

cleaning all shelves in frontroom - had new windows put in last Dec and STILL haven't taken all books, etc down to have a good wipe

Kayleigh · 22/09/2004 14:38

codswallop, thanks loads for the link. Have emailed them to find out who does it in my area. I will wait till ds2 starts nursery school in two weeks and get someone in.

And then obviously I will tell dh I did it myself
