No matter how good the house keeping is they will pick fault with it so there is no need to worry about doing to good a job. Not doing it at all is the worst thing you could do, they stand over you and make you do it to their standard then

You guys need to come live at my house then. There is a sign here somewhere that says 'Please don't write your name in the dust'. When I find it I will post a pic. That is one of the joys of being married to a school teacher who gives a s**t.
Edit: the sign says 'You can touch the dust, but please don't write in it.'

My house is a long way from being pristine sparkly clean too. It is comfortably crowded with stuff and the main surfaces are almost clean. We are happy, who cares about anything else?

Dust...... I thought I was doing ok if the washing up was done every couple of days and the bench top wiped down at the same time to get the coffee cup rings off.... but dust
Actually, come to think of it, the man came to connect up the wireless internet and voip phone and I used a paint brush to sweep the bits down before we plugged them in, does that count as dusting?

What has happened to me, next thing I know I'll be wearing an apron or something, help.... it could explain all the confusion in the brain box area though, I'm getting too in touch with my female side

That hillbilly heroin hasn't started to wear off yet, has it.

Somehow T1, I just can't quite imagine you in an apron.

Arrr.... I think I'm thankful for that David

It doesn't wear off if you keep taking more, but it does make riding the electric scooter interesting. Stopped at the supermarket, went to take the helmet off and it wasn't there, it was still in the basket on the front of the scooter.... the supermarket is directly opposite the local police Station and apparently they are red hot on that sort of thing. I'm guessing they haven't figured out yet if the scooter is an electric bike or an electric moped so it's still an unknown if it needs a rego plate or not???? But they would have got me for the helmet for sure

Need to keep checking all my bits are still attached, the head hurts all the time so I know it's still there, typing is interesting, often it's all one key to the left and spell checker doesn't have a clue what it should have been, and sometimes nether do I

Stop getting into your female side Terry, you will go blind. Have you made that phone call yet?? Tonight Gman & I were taken down to the Langhorne Creek Hotel for a beautiful meal by Steve & Lorraine aka Ozfueler as a thank you for letting them stay in our yard. Once again a great meal was served and our bellies were so full none of us had any pudding. Great food and even better company, what else do we need huh? It is always a pleasure to have such lovely yard dwellers.

Can I just do it till I need glasses? I heard that it can do your shoulder in as well, that true Dottie?

Steve and Lorraine are lovely people and really enjoyed our dinner together the other night. That thing about extending the social security appeal date, they won't budge and there is no way for me to get back there to deal with it before the Monday deadline, so looks like I'll have to reapply and loose all the back pay.... what's new, if I was pulling rabbits out of a hat I'd get a possum or a hare

Been there, done that Terry!
Pop in to the Murray Bridge branch & tell them your brother (or someone?) died & you can't get back for XXX time.
I got told that they don't expect you to sit at your home address ALL the time.
