If you feel the need to start housework, stop immediately. This virus wipes out your social life. If you should come in contact with housework go straight to the nearest store and buy the only known antidote. It is called wine.
Please forward this warning immediately to a least 6 friends. If you realise you do not have 6 friends you are already infected.
Me too!! I think I must be the only person on the planet who regularly went into the bathroom after any guest had used it, to clean and shine the washbasin!! Nothing less than sparkling would do!! Fortunately, I have now discovered the remedial benefits of said cure! Hic!
Boxy, on the other hand, admits to having the poshest dust in Britain - and that I now admire!!
Em, may I take this opportunity to say I think you're a great asset to this website.
I have some beautiful layers of dust so can I challenge boxy with her claim to have the poshest dust in Britain. Pistols at dawn might do. If we could get up that early.
Great tip naomi24, should Housework try i on with me I'm ready for it now.
However the virus I fear more than any is called Ironing. I've got to a good age without being infected but wonder if you have any advice in case it turns up unannounced one of these days?
I have the virus because I can't drink a lot of wine. Only Answerbank seems to take my mind off the dust, although I hasten to add, not as thick as boxy's dust. I do dust nearly every day. I agree with you naomi about em10, I like her posts.
rich, Boxy isn't in my 'sights - I don't do 'sights'. I posted this as a little jokey accolade' to her good sense where slavery to housework is concerned.
Starbuck, game on - and may the worst duster win!!!
Marval, all you need to do is think posh and you're in with the best of them!
Maidup, ironing!!!! Urrrghhhhhhh.................... Now you're talking!!
I hate housework and prefer to do it when you can tell its been done (ie one minute lots of dust, next minute all sparkly, don't see the point in doing it just for the sake for it) - however, for me that is a slippery slope, and I tend to let it slide too far. I am currently on a cleaning kick - believing that keeping on top of it is the best idea (I give this new regime till the weekend though).
