No harm in him putting up shelving, taking on some heavier gardening work that she can respect but on hands and knees cleaning the bowl - no.
    Besides, get the blocks that foam, clean, smell, whatever and chuck some bleach in once a week = job done for the worst bit !
    Now - I can't get my grout in the shower clean at all - any suggestions ?

    No need to see the man doing the cleaning, I'd happily go shopping while he does it, and when I get back home its as if the place was cleaned by magic, I do other chores when no one is watching, and everyone thinks the washing the ironing cleaning the whole kitchen is done by a an invisible fairy

    Suggestion : regrout or retile !

    Only a man would think rolling the blinds up was a chore

    Keeping me happy
    Oh, and lighting.

    This normally works quite well, until I (very occassionally) have a bit of a boggle about something mindless like leaving things under the sofa (why that bothers me I will never know!) then I normally go on strike for a couple of hours, we shag, make up, and repeat for another few months.

    I like doing stuff in the house - cleaning the kitchen or bog is very satisfying to me. Bizzarre, but true.

    *Sorry ladies - I've probably set the women's lib movement back about 300 years.
    Are you my wife?

    My wife says that watching me do the cleaning is very therapeutic.

    thought in the marriage contract the role of cleaner housekeeper was assigned to the lady - but apprently not!!!!!!!!!!

    to be honest tohugh with 2 kids under 3 the place is a tip - clean but just covered in bright plastic things that flash n buzz!
