REPORT CARD

The Old Girl has  been up here recuperating for 5 days now - 3 weeks to go.
Normally she is in Auckland during the week and spending 3 day weekends at the house. For a month she will be spending all week a the house - with me!

Now this is good for company and essential for her post-operative recovery but it allows her to keep an eye on my housework practices. To date the result hasn't been favourable.

REPORT CARD

HOUSEWORK

1. Vacuuming.

     Just moving the furniture around doesn't count.

     If you change the bag it will have more suction.

     Corners have to be done.

     Still visible cobwebs.   C minus.

2. Floor washing.

    Too many streaks.

    What were you using in the hot water?

    The mop has to be cleaned before using.   B minus

3. Toilets. 

    Really! Really? It looks like a student flat. Dunedin students!

    Just using the toilet brush isn't good enough nor is just squirting in some toilet cleaner.

    The bowls have to be scrubbed. FAIL D

4. Bathrooms general

    See comments as per floor washing.  B minus

5. Bath and shower cubicles.

    See comments re toilet bowls. FAIL D

6. Kitchens.

    We are supposed to cook and eat in here! Really!

    Is there something wrong with your eyesight?

    If this was a restaurant we'd be closed down. FAIL D

7. Outside porch at back and deck at front.

   It's lucky that we've been having gales that blow all the leaves and dirt away. 

   That's all I'm saying.  B minus

8. Window washing.

    They don't look like they've been done since you got back from the UK. FAIL D

9. General observation.

    Effort and aptitude is definitely lacking. Could Must do better in all areas.

              Overall C Minus.

OK, only 3 weeks to go.
