Common sense

How enlightening!!!!!! Must get cracking!!!!!!!

Dusting, hoovering and throwing out old newspapers and magazines! Wish I'd thought of that!!

Do they think our marbles also went in the last clear out?

Ok, I'm now fully conversant with how to suck an egg!!

You learn so much on here

You learn something new every day,

Well! I do all that regularly- I even moved all the furniture and vacuumed in every corner the other day! And I hadn't even seen that sage Saga advice.
Must remember to tell DGD2 not to leave fingermarks and snail trails on my sparkling patio doors

#wasn'tbornyesterday

Ps they forgot going around with a longhandled brush to de-cobweb

Ooh, thanks roseq I'd made notes from that article, I would never have thought of the cobwebs until you mentioned them
#toungeincheek

I must look it up immediately!

Could this be another good reason not to bother with Saga magazine? I wonder what is going on in their heads when they write this stuff.

That's alright! It's so true! Making a room look nice doesn't have to involve heavy housework. We need reminding sometimes.

Who hasn't got an outdated magazine lying around? Or the latest House of Bath catalogue?

Well the young scribbler who wrote the article probably has never actually done housework, don't the younger generation have cleaners ?

Clean the Windows? Presumably inside only. Don't clean the outside or people will be able to see in.

Oh, I must remember that excuse Galen, it's a good one

Next copy will read.

Want to make yourself more presentable.

' Try Washing your hair, have a bath or shower daily, wash your clothes regularly and don't forget bad breath comes from not cleaning your teeth.

Guilty jings
There's a HoB catalogue on the coffee table right now.

How did I guess.

I WAS going to do all that today, but remembered the young DGC will be here for hours tomorrow, so no point, then on Monday I shall be busy, ditto Tues Wed Thu Fri, so oh dear it will all have to wait for the next weekend ( when the DGC will be here again and.........)

Another thing they recommend in the article is replacing your cushions and throws. Trouble is, I get fond of my cushions, and if I do buy new ones they are just added to the ones already there. Leaving very little room to sit on the sofa.

Diet?

Who hasn't got an outdated magazine lying around? Or the latest House of Bath catalogue?

I do know one or two people like that

In fact, I haven't [smug]
(it's a Cooper's of Stortford cataloge)
And a big Lidl Christmas magazine DH just brought home
And the paper and TV Times ....
The Argos Black Friday leaflet has gone in the bin

The only magazines I've got are archaeology and history magazines, can they go out of date?

The only magazines I have are U3A and NWR ones. I need to get rid of recycle the oldest ones as my mag rack is overflowing.

The ones that are hanging around fell out of the newspaper.

The rest are neatly filed in magazine holders, or in the rack by the side of the chair since I 'refreshed' the sitting room on Thursday [smug] will it last now until Christmas with just a flick of the duster?
