I just wanted to say that since I accidently clicked onto this site just a few weeks ago it has opened up the wonderful world of Genealogy to me I have avidly been researching for my ancestors and have found that my great grandfather changed the family name from Trick to Trigg just after the turn of the century. this is fasinating stuff I am addicted. I just need some tips on keeping the computer turned off long enough to do some housework. |

My boss has been on holiday for a month and it's been pure pleasure taking advantage of being on the intenet all day! However I am really behind and when he comes back tomorrow I'll have to start working my socks off :0( Naomi |

My husband bought me a fridge magnet that said, "Boring Women have immaculate homes" I bought one for him that said, "Behind every successful man is an astonished woman"!! |

I guess Max is a female then lol IN answer to the previous question "who rushes around to tidy up when hubby comes home from work" (or words to that effect; certainly not MY wife lol I'd wonder what was happening if the house was tidy ;-) She does do the washing machine trick though lol |

Hubby's asked me to do him a meal for when he gets in from work. Any advice, I haven't got a clue what he's on about. Chris |

Just read through this thread and have come to the conclusion that life is a mystical time in our existence where we flit from one phase to another (takes on average 70 years) before we get on to the next adventure. Take your time ladies, sod the ironing and washing and cooking and decorating...just get on with enjoying yourselves...like we men do!!! LOL |

How right you are Brian, it has taken me 70 years to realise that there are other things in life other than a neat and tidy house. I have two pairs of boots and a pair of shoes at the bottom of the stairs waiting to be taken up(they have been there for about a month now) but a pair of the boots will be handy to step out into the snow - saves me going upstairs for them. Yeah!!! Norah in Hampshire (with a light covering of snow, but thunder and lightning two or three hours ago!!!) |

I do the Washing Machine thing, then forget I have done the washing and don't hang it out. Hang on a minute, I've just remembered I have a load to hang out now, Sorry. Sylvia |

I love this thread.... It confirms everything I always suspected about houswork (and the people who do it). The crucial question for the ladies is... Have your partners actualy noticed? Bob |
