I pruned my wardrobe on Monday and found several brand new pairs of trousers or jeans that I bought in the Sales during the last year. They are all “longer fit” which, I presume, is why they were reduced by so much. All fit perfectly but all need shortening by a few inches. Had I shortened them as I bought them it wouldn’t look like such a daunting task but I HATE shortening trousers. It is a job I always put off and in the past have thrown out trousers that are too long because I can’t face getting a needle out. Today I am determined to shorten all 5 pairs before I go to work at 5pm. What jobs do others keep putting off? Gwynne |

Cleaning windows - I loathe and detest it, and they always look smeary, no matter how hard I try! If I could get a window cleaner I'd pay him the earth just to do the outside. We've got tons of windows and the upstairs ones are really dirty at the moment. |

Polishing the floors, they are due (only do it once a year), and I'm not looking forward to getting my knees bruised. Heather x |

Of all the house jobs taking the venetian blinds down and cleaning them is the pits! I do them outside so sometimes if the weather's bad I have a very good excuse not to. lol I'd gladly do your hems Gwynne if I lived a bit nearer, was a sewer by trade and....... I like ironing........am I a strange woman!! Mau :0) |
