I've discovered my "default" setting.......

DH offered but I would rather have the Dulux dog look than let him near me with scissors.

Phoenix, I dread the thought of Mr. G offering to cut my hair! (a) he'd get out one of his many spirit levels (b) he'd debate for hours about the scissors he ought to use and (c) he has macular degeneration so the Lord only knows what it would look like.

And then afterwards there would be no excuse not to get the vacuum cleaner out, something I've been strenuously resisting...

Oh gulligranny if only! (Sigh)

Mr P has offered to cut my hair I have ordered some hairbands, wouldn't like to put him to any trouble

Marmight funnily enough, Mr P mentioned corned beef hash only yesterday, I pretended not to hear Reading about your experience, I don't think I'll bother

Have cut DH's hair this morning (second time in 2 months) so having a sit-down to recover before this evening's online choir session. Can't persuade him to do mine so keep blow-drying it into submission.

Sorry Phoenix,only just seen your post. And yes, I'd love to iron your bedlinen, it's my favourite part of ironing - smoothing out the fabric, getting rid of the creases, knowing that it will feel delicious against my skin when I slide into bed ... Courier it round straight away, and I'm on it.

Corned beef hash may be the answer. I made some a couple of weeks ago. It was so disgusting, I had to lob it. Might work on Mr P then you could donate the other 3 tins to a food bank?

Funny you should ask that, Marmight, he is rather fond of it...........

gulligranny I too love a nice clean bed. Would you like to iron my Egyptian cotton bed linen, just to make my fresh bed experience even better?

I've done a lot of washing, I just love to see it blowing in the fresh air. Ditto ironing, I like that, and I love a nice clean bed. Cooking, yes I like doing that too, so we've had good meals and plenty of cake. Everything else - nah.

Does Mr P like corned beef?

Oh, AJKW there's always one! Please, stop putting some of us to shame!

Maw I haven't even done my knicker drawer, and really should do another freezer inventory, especially in light of Mr P's rather "random" shopping habits.

In the cupboard we seem to have 4 tins of corned beef. I don't like corned beef.

I know what you mean - 1x knickers drawer and the freezer so that I could stockpile useless stuff that I have no desire to eat. I did think (worst case scenario) of looking out the copy of my will and putting it with the life insurance papers, but CBA

Blinko, that’s once more than me ?

I've cleaned the house just twice - in seven weeks. Can't wait for my cleaning lady to come back. For one thing, we like to chat and enjoy a cuppa together.

I have changed the bed linen more often though. I love clean sheets. I would do them every sunny day...

I’m the complete opposite, I don’t know how to relax. I get up in the morning and may not sit down until I go to bed in the evening. I’m always ready for a just in case scenario, it can be exhausting. If something needs doing just ask me and without question it will be done. I think I make a great employee !!! But I think I would like to be more laid back like you.

Sorry ?. Suitably admonished; will try harder tomorrow

Off to the naughty step with you, Marmight! Can’t have that sort of rule-breaking going on.

On overdrive today. Sorted 2 hanging baskets. Cut the grass. Pulled some rhubarb from a neighbour’s garden, planted a rather pretty pink plant (?) donated by another neighbour and sat in the garden In between each event, culminating in 2 very large G&Ts as a reward for my exertions. Thank heavens it’s the weekend & I can have a rest ?

I posted a letter too! That’s two tasks today. Luckily I was able to recuperate while Dh made my tea, too.

Oh snap, SueDonim. I’ve been for a walk and posted a letter. My DH is making tea now while I recover.

I’ve been for a walk. Am off to lie down in a darkened room now.

I'm obviously genetically predisposed to watch TV. I'm doomed.

If I’d cut my hair I’d have to sit in a darkened room - for at least a month

I'm afraid I defied my resistance to anything remotely like physical work yesterday - I cut my own hair. The subsequent clearing up of clippings seemed far too much like real housework (sorry for using profane language on this thread). I feel exhausted.

Can't decide whether or not to go and lie in a darkened room!

A group of five friends who attend the same gym and have lunch once a month and are generally there for each other have been doing a once a week email, keeping in touch. This week the fittest and slimmest of us was proud to say that because she was afraid of drinking too much during this lock-down she was now drinking less and with all the vigorous walking she had done, she now hadthe extra bonus of having lost weight as well. Rather ungraciously, I notice that none of the other four of us have commented on this. A lovely person, who does not need to lose a single pound and she actually loses weight. Why are we not thrilled for her? What does that say about the rest of us?

Pamelaj1 I’m taking that article seriously, I’ve just moved more, by shifting from one sofa to the other!
