Day 3 - The Goddess really does try SO hard!

Despite appearances and rumours to the contrary, The Domestic Goddess really does try quite hard to keep on top of things in Baggy's little house. Today, although she tweeted to the contrary, Creative Clara is not writing (well she wasn't anyway - yeah Clever Bird knows that she is now, but she wasn't, so let's not be pedantic bloggees please), Baggy had set The Goddess tasks! But between the house and the chaos, absolutely every single task ends up being a drama! Take today for instance. First task wash some clothes. Easy-peasy right? No not right. Wash them. Take them out of the machine to realise that thanks to The Goddess  having stupidly let Grotty Groom stick one of Joey's saddle cloths in previously, the new washing is covered in horse hair. Re-rinse the clothes. Take them outside to hang them in the spring sunshine. Easy-peasy right? No not right. The spinny clothes-drier thingy just keeps falling over because it is only in soft (soggy after the storms) soil, not in a proper holder. Clever Bird managed to prop it up with two sticks only for the wind to catch it and it land on Baggy's head - with, of course, all the clothes The Goddess had actually pegged up now dangling in the wet grass.

Wash more clothes. Go out to hang them up. Put them on the wrong side of the drier. Repeat performance of collapse and knock Baggy on the head! Attempt to re-stick it up with sticks. Next task put all the clothes that have been sitting in the bathroom waiting to be put away for a week, away. Easy-peasy right? No not right. Baggy and Calum have way more clothes than wardrobe or drawer space. There is nowhere to put them. Hence why they sit in the bathroom for so long. Give up, make piles of clean clothes in the bedrooms - only for a cat to go and sit on the pile and knock the lot over.

Next task, do last night's washing up. Firstly make enough space to be able to - put away the deep fat fryer that has been sitting on the tiny, teeny-weeny, miniscule work surface since before Baggy and Calum went to Kent. It goes in an overhead cupboard, with way too much stuff in it - manage to knock a glass out of it which smashes on the floor. Glass absolutely everywhere. Both Hinge and Minty Mutt come to investigate. Furry Mama tries to keep them out of the way while The Goddess sweeps up the mess.

Next task put some boxes of tiles that they brought back from Baggy's sister's in the shed. Easy-peasy right? No not right. They can't be heavy because Debby lifted them just as easily as Calum did. But Baggy struggled. Just about got one box to the shed without dropping it, only to realise that there is absolutely no room in the shed. The remaining three large boxes are therefore sitting on the floor by the dining table meaning that they are completely in the way and the sitting room as usual looks a total mess. The Goddess as per usual has now given up and Clara has taken Baggy over. But seriously, can you blame her bloggees?..............
