I give up - just whining and venting

[Guest guest]

Hiya everyone

I give up trying to tidy up the house! I spent 5 hours yesterday clearing up two thirds of Steve's side of the bed and I got rid of 4 full bags of rubbish... 24 hours later and the only person who has been up here all day is Steve and I might as well have not bothered yesterday as the bed is full of rubbish again! The only reason I even attempted it was 'cos Steve said he was going to work from home on his laptop with his legs up on the bed like his GP told him to on Monday so that he wouldn't be forced into hospital!

I tidied up the bathroom, stairs and hall today but I bet by tomorrow I might as well have not bothered again! Tomorrow is the living room and Friday is the kitchen which Steve said he would do as, he admitted, most of the stuff in the kitchen is his! Who wants to take on the bet that he won't do it? I bet he won't!

While Steve is doing the kitchen on Friday I'll finish off the hall as I only got half of it done today 'cos Steve was fed up of keeping (once) coming to take the (one) bag of rubbish outside - the only reasons I didn't do it was because the bag was too heavy for me to lift and even if it *wasn't* that heavy I am too unsteady on my feet and need to use both arms on the walls of the hall to get to the door!

I'm going to finish off the hall and do the living room (as that's where I sleep and it's mostly my stuff in there) then it's up to Steve to keep things going tidily in the bedroom 'cos I'm not doing this over and over again... I'm just not well enough to! By the end of the week I'll have done what I started out the week promising I would do and the only rooms I will be looking after from Saturday are the kitchen and living room!

I haven't got a clue how to cook but when I can get into the kitchen I'm going to try to make a healthy meal for us each evening as Steve is a busy bunny at work so it's the least I can do!

Sorry... just had to let that out as it's been building all day!
