| 1399244 | 2015-04-24 21:37:00 | SWMBO has just given 3 weeks notice at work. She is finally decided to retire .I would like some advice on what to put in a retirement basket which I will present to her on her last day at work. So far I have got some cleaning cloths, some Ajax liquid and an up to date copy of the Edmonds cookbook. Any suggestions appreciated. Ken :) After showering SWMBO with these extravagances, a first aid kit would possibly be your best bet. |

| 1399246 | 2015-04-24 22:09:00 | And don’t forget you’ll need at least two of everything as brooms, mops, dishcloths, dusters etc. seem to get misplaced. ;) | B.M. (505) | ||

While we are both not working I cook and we share the cleaning duties, whichever one of us ends up working the other does 80% of the cooking and cleaning. We both prefer that I cook though I enjoy it SWMBO hates cooking. |

Nope, I do all the cooking, most of the cleaning and all lawns and gardens. I have only done part time work (for various reasons) for some years now. So I do my bit. That is why I joke about buying her a retirement basket of goodies to help her ease back into the household chores :) Ken |

Whichever..... Husband cleans the oven. He will vacuum if I ask and does do laundry. But he does the lawns. I cook. He thinks he can but the last time I asked him to do something with the mince the results were hideous.... |
