    That's a shame upsydaisy about your hubs,my hubby doesn't mind it.
    I'd rather see it at home, got very lazy about going anywhere, I'd rather stay at home. Have to push myself just going to the dentist or the opticians. I'd prefer spending my time in the garden when the weather is ok and walking the boys. :smile:

      Having the windows replaced today, they're doing 5 upstairs today.Had to move all the blueberries away from the patio doors so they can get in and the dogs/boys stay in the kitchen out of the way.
      Took all the curtains down and pasted the wallpaper back on the wall. Got the opportunity to wash the curtains, would have done it in the summer but busy with the garden.

        Have fun! Agree there are more important things to do in the summer!!:heehee: I washed some at the weekend it amazing how grubby they get with having the windows open all the time.
        My bug bear is window washing, I regularly do the downstairs but embarrassed to admit the upstairs ones ( outside that is) don't get such so often.:whistle:

          I'm like you @Logan, love to spend time in our garden or attending to my Dad's too.:)

          But I do like to have my 'catch up ' time with my friends too. We tend to get together as couples every so often , but it not the same as a good old gossipy girly get together ! We meet up before our cinema dates and put the world to rights.....we've even solved Brexit!!!:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            Thanks upsydaisy, haven't washed them in years :whistle:or the windows, but the windows look alright.

            I always think that I'll do them in the summer so that they can dry outside and I'm not aloud to use the dryer for everything, but hubby said that i could this time just because we're having new windows.
            :yes:

              Yes well we all need a break from things in a while. That's why i go and see our friend Keith on Saturday afternoons for a few hours. It's better listening to hubby snoring in the chair and he does things when I'm not there. Like doing some weeding or something.

                Yes I begrudge using our tumble dryer...in fact I can't even remember the last time!!

                I just check the forecast and pick a dry but breezy ( ish!) day.

                It's worse if your one and only neighbour has window cleaners in every month!!!!!:yikes:

                We asked their chap to quote washing our gable end ( think it's called that)...£85!!!:yikes:

                I can and do wash the downstairs ones but we have 24 windows and 15 are upstairs, once a year hubs sets up the scaffolding and does the lot...hmmm just thought not this year he hasn't;)

                  All the neighbours have theirs done by a window cleaner, but they don't look any different from not doing them. :smile:

                    I should clean my windows more often than I do (about twice a year, depending on what company we are expecting. I live in a bungalow so there's really no excuse. I could run around the whole thing in about half an hour of so.

                    The worst parts are the patio doors. They are generally covered in a combination of dog prints and tiny handprints.

                      I've only got three windows, the insides are easy to do but I'd have to abseil to do the outside as I live about 90 feet up :)

                      PS..... any volunteers :roflol:
