SPRING CLEANING DAY


I STARTED ON FRIDAY FEELING GOOD FRIENDS THE SUN FOR A WHILE WAS SO BRIGHT.

SO INSTEAD OF BEING SAT FEELING FROZEN I THOUGHT I'D SPRING CLEAN A BIT RIGHT.

STARTED UPSTAIRS IN THE BATHROOM MAKING EVERYTHING SHINE.

SCRUBBING AWAY I WAS IN MY GLORY AND SINGING MY LID OFF ALL FINE.

I'D CLEANED ALL THE CHROME ON THE WASH BASIN TAPS AND PLUGHOLE CLEANED OUT AS YOU DO.

NOW I WAS CLEANING THE BATH TAPS WHEN I LOOKED DOWN I COULD'NT SEE THROUGH.

THE SIEVE ON THE PLUGHOLE HAD FILLED UP WITH ALSORTS HAIRS AND BITS OF SOAP.

WELL THIS MOTHERHEN IS QUITE HANDY AS YOU KNOW I'M NO SILLY DOPE.

EVERYONE TELLS ME THAT I'M A JACK OF ALL TRADES THE THINGS I ATTEPT.

BUT I WILL ADMIT OUT OF ALL JOBS I DO FROM PLUMBING I AM EXEMPT.

HAVING SAID THAT I KNEW IT WAS EASY TO CLEAN OUT THE PLUGHOLE SO I.

WENT DOWSTAIRS FOR MY SCREWDRIVER TO TAKE OFF THE SIEVE I'D TRY.

THEN I COULD CLEAN IT OUT IN MY BUCKET I HAVE FOR DOING THESE CHORES.

I DON'T OFTEN USE A MOP I LIKE TO GET DOWN ON MY KNEES ON THE FLOOR.

WELL I BENT DOWN ONTO MY KNEES AS YOU DO LEANING OVER THE BATH.

I WISH YOU'D HAVE BEEN THERE TO SEE THE SIGHT FROM BEHIND OF ME LAUGHING KATH.

I PUT THE SCREWDRIVER IN THE SCREWHEAD AND STARTED TO TWIST AWAY.

THE SIEVE THEN LOOSENED BUT WOULDN'T COME OFF SO I SCRUBBED IT WHILE LOOSE HEY HEY.

SPARKLING AND SHINING NO BITS OF DEBRI WERE LEFT IN THE SIEVE NICE AND CLEAN.

WASHED ALL THE BATH OUT AND STOOD BACK WITH PRIDE NOW THE BATHROOM DID GLEAM.

MOST OF YOU KNOW ROOSTER COMES OVER FROM HOLIDAY FLAT TO STAY WITH ME.

USUALLY FRIDAY LUNCHTIME FROM WORK AND ARRIVES HERE ROUND ABOUT THREE.

SO FIRST THING HE DOES IS HAVE HIS BATH WHILST I AM FINISHING OUR MEAL.

I WAS MASHING THE PAN OF POTATOES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MOTHERHEN FEELS.

A SHOWER OF WATER POURING DOWN ONTO MY LOVELY HAIRDO.

SO I LOOKED UP TOWRDS THE KITCHEN CEILING AND AS I DID GOT WET THROUGH.

GOOD GRIEF THE CEILING WAS LIKE A SHOWER WATER WAS POURING OUT.

SO I RAN TO THE BOTTOM OF MY OPEN STAIRCASE AND UP TO ROOSTER DID SHOUT.

EMPTY THE BATH I YELLED OUT IN PANICK WATERS COMING THROUGH KITCHEN ROOF.

I HEARD HIM SHOUT BACK WELL THE BATH MUST BE CRACKED THEN AS YET THOUGH HE HAD NO PROOF.

HE GRABBED ALL THE BATH TOWELS THREW THEM OVER INTO THE BATH AND BATH MAT.

I RAN DOWSTAIRS AND ON THE WAY I PUT ON MY SHOWER CAP HE-HE.

AS I WENT INTO THE KITCHEN THE WORKTOP WAS FLOODED WITH SUDS .

AND LOW AND BEHOLD NEARLY ALL OF THE WATER HAD FILLED UP MY PAN OF SPUDS.

I'D ALSO JUST PUT SOME NESCAFE IN MY POT FOR A CUPPA AND SO.

INSTEAD OF PLAIN NESCAFE I NOW HAD A LARGE FROTHY CAPPUCCINO. HE-HE.

HE THEN GRABBED MY LITTER BIN IN THE BATHROOM AND STARTED TO LADLE IT OUT.

THE WATER LUCKILY WASN'T DEEP BEFORE I HAD GIVEN HIM A SHOUT.

EVENTUALLY AS I LOOKED UP THE DRIPS IN THE KITCHEN WERE GETTING LESS.

BUT MY LOVELY HAIRDO AND PAN OF POTATOES WERE A RIGHT SOGGY MESS.

I DIDN'T KNOW BUT THE SCREW I HAD LOOSENED WAS ALSO ATTATCHED TO THE PIPE.

WHICH LETS OUT THE WATER AND OLD MOTHERHEN HADN'T FASTENED THE SCREW UP TIGHT.

POTATOES LIKE SOUFLE ME A DROWNED RAT ROOSTER WAS NOT TOO PLEASED.

I TOLD HIM I'D UNSCREWED THE SIEVE TO CLEAN IT BUT ONLY UNTIL IT EASED.

AWAY SO THAT I COULD GET ALL THE DEBRI FROM PLUGHOLE AND MAKE IT SHINE.

SO ROOSTER TOOK OFF THE BATH PANEL REPAIRED IT AND THEN EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

MY HAIR LIKE RATS TAILS MY SPUDS LIKE SOUFFLE WHEN WILL THINGS GO RIGHT FOR ME.

SO THE BATHROOM GOT A SPRING CLEAN IN THE END AND MY KITCHEN ALSO HE-HE.

JACK OF ALL TRADES AND MASTER OF NONE MY SPRING CLEANINGS NOW BEEN PUT ON HOLD.

MY TOOLBOX AND SCREWDRIVERS ROOSTERS REMOVED AND LEAVE THINGS TO HIM I'VE BEEN TOLD' HE-HE.

IT TOOK US A COUPLE OF HOURS TO GET STRAIGHT THE DINNER WAS RUINED THIS TIME.

BUT ROOSTER TOOK ME OUT FOR A MEAL AND I THEN WROTE THIS "SIMPLE RHYME "

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

The things some people will do to get taken out for a meal ,hee hee Kath what are you like ?,as I have said numerous times it could only happen to you! lol ...love Jan xx

Aileen said...

Dear Kath
What are you like!
We could be twins, as everything happens to me....ask Allan.
I will do an update soon, Drs yesterday, and off to Hospital today.
Allan being 'off work' will take me, a change from being on my own.

That would be my kind of luck for sure. I try never to do anything handy around my house as I cannot ever get it right. A lot goes undone at my house too. I clean, but never never take anything apart. Unless I can get one of my sons to help out. You were so fortunate your Rooster was there to rescue the day and take you out to eat too.

Oh boy! What a mess, aye/// No more plumbing work for you. Let that to Rooster. I am glad you have a sense of humor over it. I put thinned out tar on my roof one year knowing it was going to rain soon. It ran down onto my new shingled area. I spent days removing the new shingles and caulking the holes. Then used the tarred shingles on the roof top where I would not see them from the ground. It is finally becoming spring like weather here in the 50's F today. Winter is finally going away for another year. mark/salty
