Household Tips

The Lady Thinker tagged me for a meme about household tips which has had all my friends howling with laughter. They know that I’m the least houseproud person of all.

The sad truth is, I couldn’t think of any household tips at all.

But I couldn’t admit to that, so I’ve been racking my brains and I’ve come up with this.

Always have a roll of kitchen paper, a newspaper and some Dettol spray.

If you happen to be house training a puppy, which we were a few years ago, the newspaper and spray are essential. Don’t use kitchen paper for this.

Newspaper is vital for lighting fires, of course. You can even read it if you feel the need. Why is it that out of date newspapers are much more interesting than current ones? Like other people’s food. Or baked beans from the tin.

Now you know what a real slut I am.

For spillages – of which there seem to be many in this household, use kitchen paper or newspaper depending on the severity.

As for hoovering? My excuse is that I’m too short sighted to see the dust, let alone hoover it up. But I am blessed with a husband who not only knows what the hoover looks like, but knows how to use it.

Thank God for that.
