Me "darling, are you busy?"

Mr P " no, why?"
Me "would you mind getting some glass cleaner and kitchen roll and giving the tv screen a wipe while I do the coffee table and the bookcase?"

So enter Mr P.

I clear the mantle piece of the candle sticks, polish it and as if on auto pilot, he starts to clean the mirror.smile

As I went out to get the washing in, he was last seen making a start on the glass on the pictures!wink

Charleygirl & Lilypops I was the same with my washing, pegs had to match each other i.e. 2 x blue, 2 x red etc. Different pegs for underwear, t-shirts, jeans, sweatshirts etc & shirts/blouses hung from the bottom. My late DH could never quite get the hang of it!! All washing had to be properly folded into basket when it came in dry. hmm

It's funny because I'm not particularly fussy where anything else is concerned. confused

I no longer have a washing line so not an issue(no room in my small garden) instead have to use tumble dryer sad

My OH does the cooking and cleans the kitchen ( in the morning) . He's pretty handy with DIY / decorating and the garden so I don't mind getting lumbered with the washing/ ironing/ cleaning the rest of the house. Its called division of labour! When I was working I had a cleaner who also did the ironing, so I look on it as saving money.
