VIRUS WARNING

A VIRUS is going round called HOUSEWORK!!!!

If you feel the need to start housework, stop immediately. This virus wipes out your social life. If you should come in contact with housework go straight to the nearest store and buy the only known antidote. It is called wine.

Please forward this warning immediately to a least 6 friends. If you realise you do not have 6 friends you are already infected.

I have had that virus, but after copious amounts of the suggested remedy, found virus went, miraculous.

[naomi24]

Me too!! I think I must be the only person on the planet who regularly went into the bathroom after any guest had used it, to clean and shine the washbasin!! Nothing less than sparkling would do!! Fortunately, I have now discovered the remedial benefits of said cure! Hic!

Boxy, on the other hand, admits to having the poshest dust in Britain - and that I now admire!!

Em, may I take this opportunity to say I think you're a great asset to this website.

[nungate]

I always say Admire the dust, just don't write your name in it

[rich47]

naomi, we have always known of em's qualities but why is boxy in your sites?

[starone]

I have some beautiful layers of dust so can I challenge boxy with her claim to have the poshest dust in Britain. Pistols at dawn might do. If we could get up that early.

[marval]

I have dust, but I am not sure it is posh.

[Maydup]

Great tip naomi24, should Housework try i on with me I'm ready for it now.

However the virus I fear more than any is called Ironing. I've got to a good age without being infected but wonder if you have any advice in case it turns up unannounced one of these days?

[askyourgran]

I have the virus because I can't drink a lot of wine. Only Answerbank seems to take my mind off the dust, although I hasten to add, not as thick as boxy's dust. I do dust nearly every day. I agree with you naomi about em10, I like her posts.

[naomi24]

rich, Boxy isn't in my 'sights - I don't do 'sights'. I posted this as a little jokey accolade' to her good sense where slavery to housework is concerned.

Starbuck, game on - and may the worst duster win!!!

Marval, all you need to do is think posh and you're in with the best of them!

Maidup, ironing!!!! Urrrghhhhhhh.................... Now you're talking!!

[marval]

Thanks naomi, I am thinking posh now.

[sherrardk]

I hate housework and prefer to do it when you can tell its been done (ie one minute lots of dust, next minute all sparkly, don't see the point in doing it just for the sake for it) - however, for me that is a slippery slope, and I tend to let it slide too far. I am currently on a cleaning kick - believing that keeping on top of it is the best idea (I give this new regime till the weekend though).

[naomi24]

Gran, well, as long as something takes your mind off it, that's good!

As far as em is concerned, I like straightforward honesty - and she appears to be well versed in that.

[naomi24]

sherrard, steady!

[sherrardk]

Don't worry Naomi - the oven is filthy!

[marval]

Did someone mention the oven? that is a virus all on it's own.

[naomi24]

Oven? What's that?

[Maydup]

Got it - put the iron in the oven and let them fight it out. Hot heads!

[boxtops]

Gee naomi, you've been peeking..... nungate, my fridge magnet says "if you must write your name in the dust, please don't date it" - LOL!

.. and I now have to contend with paint-marks from little cats' feet stepping in wet floor paint - I think I'm going to make it a design feature!
