My daughter has actually been project-managing today. She decided it was time to start stripping the wallpaper on the stairs, by starting without me. She was right, it's lots of fun, and she's quite good at it :lol:

Good girl. Can she come over and slate a roof for me?

:lol:
Would she like a permanent job here, kitten supervising, floor polishing by sliding around and egg collecting?

Oh I forgot. Could she pop over and take a stone from a donkeys foot for us.

She's good on floor polishing (though obviously, quickly undoes her work by distributing crumbs everywhere) and she's probably be quite good of roofing as she's a climbing monkey. Not so sure about the donkey's hoof though :lol:

Don't worry. 16 is probably the peak of idleness and it'll get better from now on. I even managed to coax FF junior and a uni friend into a bit of outbuilding roof work a few weeks ago. Mind you, by the time we'd fed them both for the weekend it would probably have been cheaper to hire the A-team. :shock:

It is for that very reason that we are having two full height fridges and a freezer in the new kitchen. 2 girls and 2 boys are going to eat a lot when they reach those years!

Talented girl. I bet if you scored that wallpaper lightly and gave her a squirty water pistol type thing the work would go a lot faster, and best to hook up the baby bouncy thing now so she can move on to the stuff above 2ft high.
I had three young offsprings like that Moo. "Desperation" is the word. It all got a lot better when I chucked one out of the door, but I was extremely guilty when a suitcase full of her clothes (which I chucked out of her bedroom window) hit her on the head as she was trying to come in and apologise. They ( all three ) got the message, and in an ironic sort of way the older one ( 38 now!!) that landed with the headacke, told me not so long ago that was the time when I knocked some sense into herMoo said:
I also reminded her never, ever, to treat my grandchildren like that , she has two. ( she just smiled)
I did tend to go into "short fuse" mode then
