Vendredi Dans La Maison!
Ok – I put my hands up! I was struggling with this week’s letter ‘V’ for Alphabe-Thursday over at Jenny Matlock’s blog. I usually share Villandry with you but you know all about that wonderful place. I’ve even shared Versailles, so what to do?
Well as I love France and as I know you enjoy your sojourns with me, I’m thinking outside the box. Bear with me!
Since I retired, we have tried to get a routine going for Monday to Friday. The intention is to create a ‘working week’ so that we can have week-ends that are restful and different. So both hubby and I have household jobs to do. I need to explain that he retired a few years before I did so many of the jobs were all his then! Now we can share them.
Our routine looks like this:
- Monday is shopping and hubby goes to 5-a-side football while I’m at the Pupil Referral Unit where I am Chair of Governors
- Tuesday is washing, ironing, cleaning the top of the house
- Wednesday is picnic day. We like to try to go out and get some fresh air and take a picnic with us
- Thursday is business day with a trip into town for banking.
That leaves Friday which in French is VENDREDI!
The jobs on the list are – clean the bathroom and the bottom of the house. As hubby does not particularly like vacuuming, he does the bathroom.
Here is the evidence!
Now before you all say how wonderful he is for doing this, remember that he did it all when I was working. The fact that he is the best husband in the world does not come into it!
Now make sure you visit Jenny’s to see what other ‘out of the box thinking’ has gone on the for the letter ‘V’!
You two are so cute! I love your happy faces!
My husband does all the floors and I do almost everything else. It’s a fair trade off because we have almost 2,000 square feet of hardwood alone!
This was really a cute link!
Thanks for sharing it!

HAHA, further cements the fact that ‘All the good one’s are gone!” You’d have to see my Alphabethursday posts this year to know why I say this…~grin~
I think I’ll have to save this for when we’re both retired! The Great Dane doesn’t do much around the house due to his recent health problems, so much of it is here when I get home. I look forward to the day when I can do housework and then spend the rest of the time on things that interest me. Love your schedule!
I like your Wednesday! But what do you do in the wintertime, when it’s cold outside? Have a picnic indoor I guess… Cute pics! {:-Deb
Wow! Your husband is really tall! Rod is really good about helping around the house. He has taken over many of the chores I did when the children were living at home.
Brilliant. Ilike the way you have ordered your priorities!
I am so jealous. My husband retired years ago but does absolutely nothing! I retire next year. Life will be very boring!
At least he’s willing to do those household chores. My husband is good about that, too. He is usually the one who cleans out our shower.
=)
I wish I could get my husband to help clean the bathroom 🙂 Of course, he’s the main income of the family so it’s only fair I do most of the cleaning, right? 🙂 I do so dislike cleaning the bathroom though!
Villandry? Oh, I was expecting a post about the Green Goblin, Lex Luthor, etc. My mistake!
I so need to borrow him to clean my showers. I love that you have picnic day!
That’s how my husband cleans the shower, too! What a great idea to have a schedule … Wishing you an heureux jeudi et vendredi et un bon weekend!
