I used to tidy it up, but it's got an automatic decleaner, so I stopped bothering. <BR/><BR/>When he does manage to voluntary "lend a hand" (usually following a good tongue-lashing), it's barely noticeable. I'm often forced to re-clean. <BR/><BR/>As for doing the dishes -- he loads the dishwasher every blue moon (usually following a good tongue-lashing).Keeping It Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896136321278702128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-13209947156492882102007-06-14T20:47:00.000+01:002007-06-14T20:47:00.000+01:00hello im bit sad i love cleaning any sort i am not...hello im bit sad i love cleaning any sort i am not keen on doing the dishes but any think else love , do you want a hand jepAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-89270013770820524712007-06-14T20:26:00.000+01:002007-06-14T20:26:00.000+01:00But I felt guilty going out to the gym while they ...But I felt guilty going out to the gym while they cleaned my house.

My theory on this is that I employ a housekeeper as part of the world movement toward capitalism and democracy (or a benevolent monarchy, as I rather like having a Queen). I have someone do my laundry in that same generous vein of thought. See I'm just too bloody good to be true aren't I? A regular Mother Teresa, but with better skin. and taller, and better clothes..but you get the idea.lady macleodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830048414719866472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-76600392325495215082007-06-14T19:06:00.000+01:002007-06-14T19:06:00.000+01:00My husband always does the dishes, I have to admit...My husband always does the dishes, I have to admit, if he's home.
