Time to go for a walk

[HeronNS]

Does this seem familiar?

[karools16]

VERY familiar! I also look to see what needs doing, if I bend down. How times have changed.

[Constance13 in reply to karools16]

Trouble is I find too much fluff/dust too so I’m inclined to think it’s not worth bending down.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Constance13]

You have to learn to prioritise - fluff is at the bottom of ANY list...

[Constance13 in reply to PMRpro]

Hee hee!

[markbenjamin57 in reply to PMRpro]

.. and it's only God's Dandruff after all

[Daisychain12 in reply to markbenjamin57]

Ew. Horrid. Xx

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Daisychain12]

[Nuff1 in reply to PMRpro]

That's the problem with any housework - as soon as you've finished it starts ndoing!

[Dontwannabesick in reply to Nuff1]

I've always grumbled that people never notice when you've done the cleaning but they sure notice when you don't!

[Constance13 in reply to Dontwannabesick]

Whoever would have the gall to make a comment/or be seen to “notice”.😡

[Dontwannabesick in reply to Constance13]

My in-laws!

[Constance13 in reply to Dontwannabesick]

Blimey! You can’t even ignore them.😟

But, when you’re round “their place” you can be found looking in likely places for ‘some’ mess. Nobody is perfect!

[scats]

Oh that is so true. Made both of us laugh thanks.

😫🍷😂😂😂

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer]

Certainly does at the moment!

Additionally have been at son’s for Christmas, and he has stairs! I’ve lived in a bungalow for last 21 years, and my hip is not very happy at the moment with the extra effort!

[markbenjamin57 in reply to DorsetLady]

I told my GP I now have difficulty getting up the stairs at home, and asking for his advice on how to deal with my mobility problem. He checked my notes and reminded me that I live in a bungalow..

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to markbenjamin57]

Well, it has been said there’s not a lot up top! Not by me of course 😳

[markbenjamin57 in reply to DorsetLady]

Of course!

[Daisychain12 in reply to markbenjamin57]

Haha your doc is a smart ass. Ignore him and go home to your caravan cxx

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Daisychain12]

Caravan? I should be so lucky...

[Angiejnz in reply to markbenjamin57]

'Shoe box on the side of the road' a la Monty python????

[Daisychain12 in reply to Angiejnz]

Great minds Angie!!! “ ‘ andful of ‘ot gravel’ lol xxxx

[Daisychain12 in reply to markbenjamin57]

“ ....we used to dream of living in a corridor “. 🤣🤣🤣

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Daisychain12]

That were nothing - we used to dream of having dreams...

[Ladybird25 in reply to Daisychain12]

My sister is always quoting that Monty Python sketch! Accent and all.

[Constance13 in reply to markbenjamin57]

You get “nuttier”!! But you certainly keep us smiling!

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Constance13]

Glad I'm of some use here Constance..

[Constance13 in reply to markbenjamin57]

You keep a lot of people happy, you make them smile/laugh - that’s a wonderful thing to do.

🕺🎩🥢🍾🍸

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Constance13]

Well, I do my best to try to raise a giggle or two as an antidote to the more serious (but important) stuff here. My Philosophy: a few Smiles and some Laughter can help in the coping process with our types of illnesses, if nothing else (me included)? On the other hand, a few of You Lot seem to be semi (or Full Monty?) Bonkers in the first place - so it makes my job even easier!

[Grants148]

I know that feeling,and l do not vacuum as much as l used to,a lot of dust seems to collect behind the settee,a feather duster usually sorts that out !

[markbenjamin57]

With PMR pain and stiffness, too true..

[Chrob]

I know if I drop anything in the morning that’s how it stays till late afternoon.

[stellafmdm in reply to Chrob]

You need a long handled grabber! I would not be without mine for anything!!!

[Dawnint in reply to Chrob]

That's where it stays til the cleaning ladies come once every 2 weeks. There's only me lives here

Donint

[Daisychain12]

Oh yes that is so true and so funny. It really is like that for us cxxxc

[tgca]

I had 2 walks over Christmas... nearly killed me!!

[Constance13 in reply to tgca]

Make it only 1 on New Year’s Day.😂

[SheffieldJane]

Yup!

[yogabonnie]

hahahahahaha love it.

[Jean56]

Oh yes. I knelt on the kitchen floor and decided I didn’t like what I saw residing down there. I know it’s Christmas and there’s been a lot of food being prepared but how does so much finish up on the floor. Kitchen floor a lot cleaner when I had a furry mobile vacuum cleaner in the shape of a cocker spaniel!

[HeronNS in reply to Jean56]

In my new home, if I ever get into it, I'm considering getting a Roomba. My furry dusters will enjoy it too, I suspect!

And, yes, kitchen floors seem to breed food crumbs. Just as counters and table in our home cause paper to multiply beyond reason!

[Jean56]

Good thinking. I miss my furry vacuum dreadfully but haven’t the energy to cope with a new dog and an aging and not very well husband. I content my self with being a doggy aunt and dog sitting for friends. Rather like grandchildren you can spoil them rotten and send them home. I’m fortunate I do have a cleaner, she tackles the floors and bathrooms. She’s worth her weight in gold. I hope it’s not long before you are settled in your new home. We’ve thought of downsizing but it’s too daunting! Happy New year to you, may 2019 be better for us all.

Too much of the late Summer Wine myself! Oh! Well Rock on as we do !
