The invisible work nobody sees!

The sun is streaming in today and highlighting all the jobs that need to be done that nobody will see!

I have so far cleaned all the light fittings/chandeliers, hoovered and changed around the dining chairs, ditto the sofas.
The mirror wardrobe doors were screaming clean me as I lay in bed this morning so they have been done and I am about to start on the cupboard fronts in the utility and kitchen.

My lovely husband has spent the morning tracking down a hose connector and just said “ you wouldn’t believe how hard it is and how long it’s taken”.

He is still alive just but can make his own bloody lunch today.

Oh gosh - where did you find this energy. I’m sitting with an electric ‘throw’ over me and don’t feel like doing anything 😫

Sago would you like to borrow my superb cleaner? She does all you have done and even moves furniture to hoover behind and underneath.

I have employed a few cleaners over the years and I can honestly say as long as I fit and able I never want another!

I see cleaning as a gym workout, I have a robo vac which I love and a steam mop to make life easier but I really don’t mind doing it, even the invisible jobs.

It just annoys me when my husband sits there telling me what a hard morning he’s had on the internet!!!!!

My modest abode doesn’t run to chandeliers but if it did, I’d get Rodney and Delboy in to clean them, solving the problem either way at a stroke.

So with you Sago when I’m busying around my DH appears from watching TV or doing the crossword or playing some game in his phone and says, in a jolly voice, “don’t overdo it darling!” And “let me know if I can help”, then promptly disappears for the next three hours 🤣😂🤣😂

Your DH could have got a hose connector on the Internet, delivered to your door within a couple of days. But I suspect he probably knew that before he made himself scarce while you cleaned & dusted! wink
