fingers crossed
Thanks Ic, yes tomorrow's is a 2nd viewing - so even better....

ONLY does Kitchen , living room , hall & bathrooms - that lot take me a good 4 hours to do properly... plus we have another living room, conservatory and 5 bedrooms....

I think I shall stop paying gardener and get OH to do it and get a cleaner.

Sounds promising with your viewer. Another one to look forward to tomorrow. You can always send the dregs round here after. I don't mind.
Well, we're a piar of mugs, but maybe a bit better off and in control of our lives..... sort of!

I'll certainly send the dregs round - just PM me your address.

No, you're not the only mug!

I can't believe all these lucky people with cleaners and gardeners! Mind you, I only work night shifts, look after the house, dog, horses, run a taxi service for the kids, prepare lunch boxes, evening meals, iron, wash, take care of the garden, run the finances (hubby is hopeless) and in my spare time, I apply for visas, sell our house and research flights, rentals, contact schools etc.

When OH comes home from work and moans about how busy he has been, I could swear:curse:

And just to add to my stress levels at the moment, my 11 year old daughter is pushing me to boiling point, give me boys any time (or maybe I've still got that to come)

Sorry - moan over.

Sam

I "don't work" either, allegedly....

but I don't have a cleaner or a gardener, I just gaze at the mounting chaos & blow the dust away from the laptop

All systems go for next Monday by the way - we sign on Saturday & pick up the keys on Monday morning

PMSL, you have described my relationship with my OH. he resents having to do anything in his 'spare' time. He expects me to do everything at the weekend too. he sits there reading a book and telling me all the things that I really should do.

Sympathies for the DD - mines 8 going on 13...

Must say that I've been admiring Icarus' house in the classifieds & was convinced he had the woman's touch But he's cheated - oh the shame of it!

Sympathies re the DD from here too - mine are 11 & nearly 13 - why oh why didn't I leave them in the maternity hospital? Must have been all those drugs
