Hmm. Let me see now. 9828 hours per annum at the minimum wage of £5.05 per hour plus insurance plus paid holidays plus pension contributions etc.
No, on second thoughts, I`d better stick with what I`ve got and endure the disgrace of being seen in un-ironed t-shirts..
Fix the cars, put the rubbish out, clean the bathroom, tile the bathroom, clean the paths / garden, take stuff to the tip etc etc. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Folding things is womens work - they're simply better at it than us. Must be the genes.
SWMBO is in charge of a number of items - folding (flaking comes in this category), webbed items (dingy bag etc), paper items and security - it's amazing what these categories can be stretched to cover!
All in the cause of the fair division of labour. When we recently needed to get the animals off our prop it was me that went into the cold water and did it. I commented to her that in truth she hadn't even considered offering to do it - she freely admitted this was the case.
Ditto folding!
(what would we do if we had a folding prop - now there's a conundrum!)
Last year in Pontrieux a man on a nearby boat dropped his folding bike into the water. I was very impressed by the way his wife uncomplainingly stripped and dived in for it. Could she have been your SWMBO, by any chance?
Hmm not a bad fight back BUT I do all those things myself as I haven't trained my kids to do them properly yet...
plus I winterised the boat engine and fixed the heads this year...
hmm maybe I could employ a man about the house, they love working for less than minimum wage /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
