Height of laziness

Spikes no use on our lawn today, more likely jet skis...........no floods here but the grass is sodden and squelchy with sloppy mud.

We used to wrap dusters round our feet and skate up and down our hall when I was young. Great fun and it got the job done

My sisters puppy looks like one of those slippers , you can borrow her to 'swish' round the floor

Old socks are great for dusting wooden floors and skirting boards can do the job hands free.

Phoenix these days the au pair would be sacked!

Mr N keeps asking for those spiked things for the lawn but I keep 'forgetting' to get them!

I find getting down on knees and scrubbing the kitchen an extremely good way of getting rid of anger. Actually I used to, just don't seem to get that cross any more.

I find it very therapeutic mopping the floor with an old fashioned mop.

Somewhere online I've seen an outfit for crawling DGC which coverts the dear little one into a handy floor duster!! Honestly!

It definitely sounds like a recipe for disaster to me, I presume the manufacturer will have a disclaimer against those suing for broken limbs?

phoenix my mansion is not quite big enough and with my falling history, I do not think that I will indulge.

In my childhood I used to go and play with the children in quite a "big house" down the road. They had an au pair and I remember happy times with all of us with dusters tied around our feet "skating" up and down the parquet floor in the hall

At first there wasn't much "slide" (presumably because the polish was newly applied) but after a while we could glide with ease!

A clever way of getting the work done and keeping the children amused!

You could root out old pairs of socks and get him to put them on. Or old, discoloured, threadbare towel or tea towel, secured by a rubber band.

Maybe you're not like me. Maybe you throw all tat out?

And those lawn aerating shoes don't work - the tines are too close together and anyway would need to be at least 3-4" long to have any effect at all. 6" is better!

There's a pair of those floor mopping slippers languishing in the back of my under-sink cupboard. So call me gullible and don't follow suit.

An ad. for slippers keeps popping up on my Fbook page. Now, I never click on to these annoying pop-ups but this was for indoor slippers with a removable 'outdoor' sole. What a brilliant idea, I thought . So I broke my no-click rule..... 58 quid a pair??? Picks self up off floor and sticks slippers in the house , and cheapo crocs by the back door.

Well I'm a tad lazy but that sounds hard work to me. Prefer to sweep and mop. As for those things for the lawn they sound gruesome.
I first saw overshoes of some kind in Italy back in the 60s where someone was polishing the floor with them in a public building, skating back and forth. Probably wouldn't be allowed under current H ans S laws.

You mean those shoes that get stuck fast in the lawn and you're only option is to remove them merlot

I doubt it and the ones that I have seen look a bit bulky so please be careful that he does not slip as he dances around the floor!!! .

They're about as much use as those shoes with spikes on the bottom for aerating the lawn
