Things i have done this Bank holiday weekend.
1-Spring cleaned our bedroom, and moved all the furniture. (Sy actually fell out of the bed the first night of the changeround...that's another story.)
2- Spring cleaned the bathroom
3- Spring cleaned the sitting room (even The Writers' desk...and i haven't even lost one scrap of paper on it, although i did manage to lose a couple of pages from a Very Important Book.
They'll turn up eventually, i'm sure.)
4- Spring cleaned the kitchen, sorted out all the old crockery and installed a new, fully matching, inherited set.) Sy and DD can't find anything anymore. But that's their problem. I like the new set-up.
5- Have done three trips to the tip, but have recycled four big boxes of stuff and seven binbags.
6- Have baked two loaves of bread, made two bannoffi pies and three chocolate cakes.
7-Have ferried DD to and from her boyfriends house three times (an hour and half round journey, each time.)
8. I know i've forgotton something....ohh yes, done another blog!
The Writer has.
1- Mown the lawn.
And broken the mower.
So why the hell is he preening around the house looking for praise, when that's the only job he has done - and ballsed it up- and yet i'm just getting on with stuff?
It's a man thing, isn't it.
Till next time,
Shakespeare's Housekeeper xx
The Household
- Me, The Writer's wife also known as Sprouty. 'Shakespeare's Housekeeper' sums up what i am. Although i could also be known as 'King Arthur's cleaner.
- The Writer. Sy- A shadow in the home, moving from book to laptop to book...and leaving a trail of destruction behind him
- Darling Daughter- 17 and in sixth form, hopefully off to Uni next year to study Forensic Psychology. What's that then?

ReplyDeleteThe theory is, if asked to do a job, do a bad job so you won't be asked to do it again.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's working for Sy. Now it's your turn.
SH- it wasn't life-size, but i did eat some of a bunny in between tip trips.Thought i would get away without mentioning that.
ReplyDeleteCG- mmm.. why hadn't i thought of that?
