Nearly caught out!

But was it really the mop getting steamed up or was it Phoenix

In the bedroom?

Well, my new steam mop does makes a slightly odd noise............

what else could it have been?

OH. MY. GOD.

I have just realised that the when my friend arrived unannounced, she had actually opened the front door and was calling me from the hall, as I hadn't heard her knocking.

She would have heard a buzzing noise coming from upstairs, followed by my rather muffled response of "who is it?"

I hope she realised that it was actually my electric toothbrush that was being deployed at the time........................

I had wandered downstairs in my bra and pants when a delivery man rang the bell

Jack was very clothes averse when he was a littley. I remember once suggesting that he might get dressed, and he said "why, where are we going?"

The postlady that we had then still remembers him often standing on the window sill (it was a cottage with low, wide window sills) naked bar his wellington boots, and smiling and waving at her!

And that was over 22 years ago.

Sorry, digressing from the cleaning theme, but still sort of linked as to childrens association with certain activities!

And my friend's daughter said it when she did any baking .

Gorki - someone after my own heart!! My daughters used to say the same thing when the vacuum appeared!!!!

Gorki , laugh !!

Sounds like a good morning to me Gracesmum.Leave doing housework to those who like doing it. I find it boring .A quick whip round when visitors are coming has always been my style. When my son was about 3 and I was hoovering he used to say "who's coming today Mummy ?"

I was caught just out of the shower in my bathrobe at 11.30am the other morning by a friend who thought she would pop round on the off chance! I had actually been up since about 8.15..........
