    Currently on our stairs waiting to go up.
    New pair of trainers to go in my kit bag upstairs.
    Some paperwork to be filed
    A pair of discarded socks to go in the laundry basket.

    i generally put stuff on the stairs as soon as i get in from shopping / work, because invariably the first thing I do when i get in is go into the living room to see the cat/ husband.

    Multiply that by three other people - that’s quite often stuff is on the stairs. I take it up every time i see something. Not so the other members of the house.

    I’m currently avoiding trips up and down stairs due to a knee injury - so stuff is getting left longer.!

    Hmm I'm familiar with that one :)

    The other similar one is "Do you think,,,"

    But if you reply no I think its fine as it is thats never the right answer

    eg do you think we should redecorate the lounge - the paintwork is looking a bit scruffy

    Can you be legally married to a cat?

    Yes, usually. The cat is likely to greet me first.

    As a single man, dusting was something I did when there was a prospect of getting a visit from a nice lady. I didn't do much dusting...

    Edit: And I lived above a Tesco so only did lots of little shops.

    That’s Will’s least favourite task because he knows I’m a weirdo who likes the peg colours to match the item of clothing and all the similar colours to be hung out next to each other. I won’t make him do it but he knows that I’d end up changing it round if I saw it (literally can’t stop myself, it’s a compulsion) so he does it the way I like it, or I just do it myself/close the blinds so I can’t see it.

    Are you sure you aren't the Duchess of Kent? Her husband is called Will and he allegedly likes pegging...

    I do absolutely nothing around the house, the family, garden or with the car. That's always been the case and next year we celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
