That's it all right! I think you could probably add to this indefinitely but the details you've chosen do the job beautifully - I wonder if we'll get a backlash from the fellas? ;

haha very good Sandra, and very recognisable. There's a few here I get accused of doing by my 'man about the house' though, so I guess it just works perfectly as a picture of those little things that get your goat.

Good one - and fast too!

I like this very much.

Thanks Oonah, Kirsty and Jennifer. I missed something out.... I just had to halt the washer mid-cycle to remove five golf tees and 57 pence from the drum. What's so hard about emptying your pockets before stuffing things into the laundry basket?

I don't get it.

Just kidding - very apposite!

My son said to me, Mum wants me to tidy up the mess but I can't see any. There is the problem in a nutshell.
