Day five


So this is what some of your house looks like when your renovating! You know, plugs and light switches hanging out of the wall...One more upstairs room to go, and then just the kitchen, hallway and lounge. We are hoping that we will get upstairs, and the hallway finished in Feb, and get the wallpaper peeled and bricks removed, and nice yellow glass archways removed in March in the lounge, then we can go on holiday and come back, do the kitchen, get new carpet in and then be on our way. But then you know what can happen to the best laid plans...LOL!

I was reading angelgurl.wordpress.com - Janine's blog today (you know, while I was munching away on my sandwhich at lunch...) and she had written a post about how her and her other half have different ways of folding socks - and how it really doesn't matter as long as it gets done. So true. Made me think about my DH, now he's a good cook, and he enjoys it, but after fifteen years of being together, I still haven't managed to train him to tidy up as he goes - he makes a big mess and then cleans up, no probs as long as he cleans up...so what do you do? Do you tidy as you cook or do you wait till you've eaten and do everything at one go?

Anyway enjoy your last public holiday (National one that is) until...April!

LOL trace Dh is a chef and the kitchen still looks like a bomb had gone off once he has finished !! YOu think maybe, just maybe they should be trained how to tidy LOL

Great photo too, I so know that look :)

Yes, that sight is a familiar one! We're done with the renovating now (well, almost) but our house looked like that for a long time ;-)

As for the cooking question, I most definitely clean as I go!! Sooooo much easier that way! Your DH sounds a lot like mine. He is a good cook but leaves a HUGE mess, and although he says he will clean it up, I usually end up doing it because I do a better job!!! LOL ;-) Ya gotta love 'em though!

um I clean as I go and Mike cleans up at the end. But like you said as long as the dishes gets done, I dont really care. I just about fell of my chair reading this post. As I have only just discovered that you have a blog.
