Reasons to be Cheerful - 19.04.2012
Thank you as always to Mummy From the Heart.
I'm not sure what to be thankful for this week. Hubbie lost his job, he's pretty down about it and I'm starting to feel the strain trying to keep moral up for both of us.
So in light of all the depressing stuff that's happening in our household this week I think my reasons to be cheerful should be completely frivolous and just for a giggle to put a smile on my face, and hopefully a smile on yours as you read it.
1.Housework is getting done!!!With Hubbie out of work it means our house will be spotless (well as spotless as our monsters will allow anyway!). He's already gutted the hot press, he's washed every dish in the house, the living room floor has been cleared, today he's finishing the ironing and on Sunday, weather depending, he's going to be doing some gardening for me.Now if only I could get him to cook every meal I'd be a lady of leisure about the house.
2.We have a kingsize duvet for our double bed.For anyone who shares a bed with a quilt hogger you'll understand the bliss having a larger quilt for your bed than is necessarily required.
3.Stickers!Stickers are the currency of choice in our house and if it wasn't for these delightful sticky pictures I'd never get a minutes peace, especially on the days our girls don't nap. Our girls go crazy for them and I'm not sure what we would've done if we hadn't discovered them months ago.Thank you sticker makers wherever you are, you've helped preserve my sanity (well for a little while longer anyway).
I'm sorry to hear that your husband has lost his job, I hope he finds work very soon. Yay for getting things done around the house, that is one of my R2BC this week too! x
ReplyDeleteGetting the housework done gives you a sense of accomplishment, but I find it even more satisfying when someone else is doing it :D Thank you for your kind words xXx
DeleteSending you hugs, chocolate cake and packs of stickers! Hope things feel better soon, Kat xx
ReplyDeleteThe slump can't last too long, I won't allow it! Ta for the chocolate cake, yummy xXx
DeleteSorry to hear about your husband's job. I hope he finds work soon. I'm a fan of stickers too (as long as they're not stuck all over the wooden floor, as I discovered to my horror a few weeks ago!)
ReplyDeleteHubbie likes to get right down on the ground and pick at the stickers when they're stuck to the wooden floor whereas I prefer to use a warm damp dishcloth on them, much quicker and easier. I absolutely hate when they're stuck to the lino in the kitchen, especially the foamy stickers, they're a nightmare to remove!
DeleteI agree, a king size duvet is a must! :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, a double bed duvet just seems too small now after having a king size duvet xXx
DeleteThis hop always lifts me out of doldrums! Help with housework would make me smile :-)
ReplyDeleteHelp is good but having someone else doing the housework for us so we could just put our feet up would be even better xXx
DeleteStickers keep my dsanity too, kids seem to love them for ages. Well done for joining in this week.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about hubbies job, I hope he finds something good very soon. Mich x
He's in a more positive frame of mind now so he's all motivated and raring to go. Thanks for your kind words xXx
