We have had builders in for the last week knocking hell out of our dining room. We have left the old carpet down which will be replaced once the over-chatty decorator has been to paint the new walls.
Mrs Nick has insisted on hoovering said carpet each day this week after the builders have left, and they then, of course, return the next day and continue hammering and plastering.
Now the over chatty painter has called to say he can start work tomorrow. Mrs Nick has decided to clean the room and hoover the carpet before he comes!! WHY???? Banghead
He will make more mess and then we shall take the carpet to the tip. SHe has now insisted we cancel the Mother's Day lunch I had booked so that she can clean the room. cussing: cussing:
She is quite irate and insistent scared2:

He's at home cleaning Nick .... You know it, I know it and most of all LL knows it.
As for Mrs Nick ... It is all about not letting the workmen think she has a dirty house. It is illogical but they are all like it. My MiL, who had a stroke before Christmas is now home with "assistance" coming in daily to help her get up, dressed and to do any cleaning etc. The old girl is absolutely determined to make sure the house is clean and tidy before the help arrives so cleans and dusts it every night before she goes to bed. Oh and because the FiL left her "comfortably" well off she actually pays for the cleaner that she is cleaning up in advance of.
You make sense of it .... nobody else can. ::)

Slut.

Where housework and other things eyes: are concerned I am married to a self confessed slut. HOWEVER
The mere mention of a proposed visit by anyone, be they decorator, builder, mother, sister, brother or the ladies of the WI has her in a frenzy of dusting, vacuuming and polishing. The children all reckon that at such times, should they be foolish enough to stand still, she will use the Mr Sheen on them.
Given a totally unexpected visit by anyone and she will spend the first half an hour saying how sorry she is that the place is a tip. She even cleans and dusts the living rooms before the chimney sweep makes his bi annual visits.
Wimmin are weird!

slattern

Now the over chatty painter has called to say he can start work tomorrow. Mrs Nick has decided to clean the room and hoover the carpet before he comes!! WHY???? Banghead
Life is short. Enjoy it!
Dust if you must ....... but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake cookies or a cake and lick the spoon or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need?!
Dust if you must, but there's not much time . . . . with beer to drink , rivers to swim and mountains to climb , music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must ... but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around, again.
Dust if you must , but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. . . And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more dust!
(Pam Ayres, eat your heart out!)

Are you reading this LL! point:

Quentin Crisp says that after the first five years you don't notice the dust anymore.
Although this quote claims he said four years but the point is still well made.

I can positively confirm the hypothesis. As can Mother Wench.

"Quentin Crisp was born Denis Pratt on Christmas Day 1908 to, as he called them, "middle-class, middle-brow, middling" parents in Sutton, Surrey."
