Luckily she’s far more disciplined than I am and is not so good at delegation*, so tends to do more than her fair share. *translation. Doesn’t trust me to do such a good job You too eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I'm better at cleaning so I get the bulk of that!! I'm allowed to cook and to dig the garden over. I'm also permitted to push the vacuum around. Apparently when I retire we will be on a 2 week on 2 week off rotation for just about everything. This is rather horrifying so a good reason to keep working as long as I can! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When bedding needs putting back on, she manages this magic trick where she vanishes into thin air. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner at that time bought it as a neglected house, as we have, and had it gutted and refitted. Foolishly, he and the builder had a fixed price / fixed time contract with penalty clauses. Shortcuts / bodges galore as the build progressed and missed its timescale - the owner had to be housed in a hotel at the builder’s expense while work finished. This is a consequence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Just found out today that the toilet cistern at work is an antique and possibly worth a few quid Ours is pretty much identical to the one pictured. My boss is going on holiday soon so it might be getting replaced with a cheap one from screwfix due to the old one springing a leak or something similar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
