One useful excuse - when you get to this stage!! - Grandchildren. My granddaughter - now 18 months old - has taken to dusting (her mother's influence - not mine). - However - when anyone comes nowadays - I just explain - re the dust - I save it for my grand-daughter - she comes most Fridays and she expects it to be there - so - I save it for her. - (She has her own little duster!!)

I think i might c&p this thread quick,save it for a rainy day (and decide the price according to my needs at the time). The minimum will be 50p but could be more. Glen

See ..... now if you kept the place spotless at all times there wouldn't be this mad rush when visitors are expected........yeah right (Laughs hysterically).

Ok Christine, I will promise not to tell Heather on your return that you have been doing housework.....You will be given a serious punishment should she find out.....Ssssh no-one mention it!! Good Luck with everything, hope all goes well and look forward to seeing you on your return. Fuzzy x

Husband's special birthday party (''40th anniversary of coming of age'', because 60th celebrations last year had to be cancelled) coming up soon... Elder son has just texted to say he's bringing a partner (we've not met her before). They live at a distance so will have to stay the night. Years of chaos to be eliminated in a few weeks - and we're away for two of them, on holiday! AAaaaarrgghhh. Sorry if I don't answer my PMs, or help out on the Board for a while - I can't subject him to the alternative: severe embarrassment. - Christine
