discobob Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 She has done it - she has cleaned my office - except her cleaning involves shoving things that she has no idea of away - so when you go "where did you put this" she has absolutely no idea - so there is a set of sim racing pedals now that have the nuts on the potentiometers missing - amongst other things. To me cleaning and tidying are two different activities. If stuff is left somewhere there is a reason for it or else it will go in the bin. Right - I am going to clean the living room - lets see if she will find where I put all the ornaments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 I don't know if i'm lucky or not, Mrs D has no idea what cleaning is, the only time the vacuum comes out is when your footsteps make footprints in the dust. I have no problems loosing stuff, but i do have problems finding stuff, Like a pair of her glasses that she had lost months previously and been replaced with a pair from Poundland or wherever. Once found i highlight the find much like finding a million pound loto ticket and she's amazed that she'd been sitting on it all that time.

Happens all the time here….😡 Even worse as I’m away so much that on my return I’m lucky if I can remember where I placed things, yet alone when she can’t remember where her cleaning exploits have relocated stuff!

Bigbob Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 In the garage , shed and loft if i want something i can go right to it and put my hand on it In my spare room (i call it the shooting room to annoy her ) after she's been in there i don't have a chance of finding it . Them she came out with a cracker leave any stuff laying about and you wont find them so now i even lift my beswick and border fine art ornaments and dust under them myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Don't get me started on the garage - worse thing I ever done was buy a house with an integral garage that is accessible from the kitchen... I go to start a job and find it in a mess from SWMBO opening the door and dumping stuff in there wherever. Although I do put my hands up to not putting things away but this is primarily when I am the middle of something- that that something may take weeks to do is another matter I got the attic sorted last year - another bad move was getting a loft ladder/hatch put in - she could have stuff shoved away within 30 seconds and be out of sight. It came to a head when we were expecting a Sky Engineer and he might have needed access up there and I went up - as far as I could - as it was full. There was quite a few runs to the tip after that.
