I HATE AIRING CUPBOARDS

j08 Well done! I'm impressed.

I have also vacuumed and dusted my entire house - it took me 10 minutes!

It took me all the morning!

Wow! What have you been taking?

Only tea - but my flat is very small! I live in one room (living room/kitchen/bedroom/dining) which measures about 12' x 12' - there is another similar sized room with a double bed but I keep that for guests. I like having everything close at hand.

Yesterday my neighbour returned home after a 36 hour absence to find that she had accidentally shut her cat in the cool boiler/airing cupboard. He had obviously gone berserk and shredded the entire contents as well as peeing and pooing! I feel guilty because I had been checking on her other cat who is terminally ill, and didn't hear or smell anything untoward!

We had a scare in New Zealand last week, as Smoochy the cat had got himself shut in the attic. He must have been looking for mice up there, and my gd did not notice and shut the door. We were woken up at 5 a.m. by the most terrible mewling and my daughter and gd could not trace the sound at first and were crawling under the house with a flashlight (it is built on piers like most houses there). They finally traced the noise and let him out - he would probably have died if they had not found him, as the attic gets very, very hot once the sun comes up.

Does anybody else think that your style of house influences how fussy you are about housework? My daughter had a very elegant, large Edwardian villa in Yorkshire and it was always immaculate. Now, her house is clean but there are riding boots, hiking boots, baby chicks just out of the incubator in a box in the utility room, sticks which the two dogs bring in from the garden, and various bags of animal feed on the verandah. She is very happy and says she would rather spend her time growing things and riding her horse than doing housework!

I fold my duvet round the bottom sheet and pillow cases. Keeps them together but doesn't keep the airing cupboard tidy - don't know how it gets untidy, it's only me who puts things in it

Found a bunch of dehydrated bananas in my airing cupboard a few years ago. Think I put them in there to ripen and forgot them.

I remember putting a shop-bought egg in my granny's airing cupboard when I was a child, hoping it would hatch! I wonder what happened to it - I can't remember...

I remember my brother (aged about 5) rummaging in the airing cupboard, and appearing with a Doctor White's looped behind his ears and across his eyes as a mask.
