I have an expensive robotic hoover which is very good, but takes ages and it cannot hoover the dust off the top of the imation gas wood burning stove.

I just bought a drag along Vax quite powerful one for £50...does the job

ja...x

I have a Vax also - I can't use it now as it is too heavy for me but it replaced my Dyson for a fraction of the price and was way more efficient !!

A bit fiddly to clean the filter thingy butnot too bad considering the performance!!

I keep going on to Friends reunited with them 'kissie parrots' !! - Does ayone else have this problem ??

Dea Xxx

OOhh - OH half just cooked me some cheese on toast - with tomato and lots of blakck pepper (I have taught im well) !

He set of the fire alarm but hey - that's what he always does - Black around the edges but VERY tasty !!!

Dea Xxx

The area around my cooker - tiles and worktop have a lot of grease which is very stubborn to remove (OOOhh I hate to have to admit this as it sounds VERY horrible) !!

Dea,,
Take a window paint scraper to it,the ones that have the stanley blade thing in them..Then scrub "gently" with fine wire wool dipped in washing up liquid...Voile..!

Thank you Fans - I will try that !!

I have to admit that it really is 'horrible'

My house used to be quite 'sparkling'; but health problems took over and now it is quite 'Urrrgghhg '

Hope you're not referring to us Janey....lol


Dea, I think ja...x has hit the spot. Why not (if you can afford it that is) get a cleaning firm in to give you a head start and then, either do it gently yourself or have someone in once a week??? Just a thought.

I lurves Marmite...

Yuuuummmmmm.

They do it just to annoy you JC .
Not as though that is hard to do.;0)>

I think with a lot of men they dont notice the dirt like us women, I get fed up with the house being blitzed when we are expecting visitors rather than it being done on a regular basis.
When I was married I worked 5 days a week in a Bank 2 nights and sat and sun in a pub did all the shopping, cooking,housework and washing and normally most of the gardening he did his own ironing...now I feel bad about asking HID to do some housework...its not as though he is tired out from work lol

I have thought about it - that is what I really need BUT my house is SO out of control that I would be ashamed to have someone come in to clean it !!

I need to get itn 'under control' first so that I can ask someone for help and not feel ashamed and I can't do that because I do not have the energy ! !!!

Dea Xxx

Why not ask your kids to help Dea

ja...x

Thanks Ja....x

I am sure they would but they have their own problems to deal with !!

Anyway !!!

From tomorrow - I WILL sort it - One wall per day but I WILL get it sorted !!!

Dea Xxx

To be honest Dea, you don't sound as though you are 'up' to getting it under control. Why not google for cleaning firms in your area and, when you find one that you think is reasonably priced, explain your situation to them. I am sure they will have dealt with much worse to be honest!

Thank you Cynthia

You have made me cry now !!

I know you are right but I am still rather ashamed at the state I have let it get into!

we all love you

I've haven't done a lot of housework for years, I've had Teresa, my Treasure, coming in once every 2 weeks since 1995.

But she hasn't been since the end of Seotember last year, when we started ripping the kitchen apart.

I can no longer do very much ........ and have to depend on OH, who has so much else to do that housekeeping gets pushed further and further back.


We do keep the bathrooms clean, and the kitchen, which is easy of course as it was ripped back to the walls and is now in the last stage of being completely re-painted


but don't look anywhere else in the house!


we do have friends coming on Thursday, luckily only for a short time ...... so out will come the hoover and dusters for a blitz on the front room
