My husband had a horrendous upbringing. I think this is why he can never relax and is constantly running around trying to look for things that need to be done in the house. His dad and step mum would beat him to a pulp if he didn't do what they said, he had to do everything in the house and they'd pretty much take it out on him even if something wasn't his fault, they didn't need a reason.

On a lighter note - we bought this steam cleaner that they keep advertising on TV, it's fantastic! We got it primarily because our carpet cleaner is rubbish and it claims to clean carpets perfectly. We have a cream carpet in our living room, four kids and three cats so you can imagine how filthy it looks! Wy we picked cream is beyond me. Well, we tried it on a patch to see what it did and it did make a difference. I think we will use the rubbish one to get as much up as we can first, followed by regular cleaning with the steam cleaner, fingers crossed it'll look more like it should! It has different attachments to it so you can use it on pretty much everything in the home. I used it on our grubby kitchen floor earlier and it was fab! The thing that attracts me most to it is the fact it kills 99% of bacteria. I cannot stand the thought of germs, so if it kills those nasty little wotsits brilliant. Kitchen floor has never looked cleaner. Can't wait to try it on the oven
