Yes
i am super****ed off at the moment

for the past 3 weekends ive spent all my time cleaning someone elses house. my parents own a house that my sister lives in, shes moving to a flat as we've sold the house. so we have to get everything clear before the house completes.

so why the hell are me and both my parents doing all the work?????? for the first 2 weekends she just sat around complaining about her hangover and how she "isnt in the mood for this" loads of help when shes the only person in the house with the faintest idea what is rubbish and what is to be kept.

the house completes on friday.....
so why the **** are we at her house wondering what the hell is rubbish and what isnt.... guess where my sister is...?????


at her new flat (i hazard a gvuess that shes sat on her arse) waiting for thbe sky man to come and install a dish........ is that really important, cant that be done another time?

now heres the thing....
how can someone with no money, living on a small student loan and constantly scavenging money off my parents and occasionally me, afford to get sky fitted in the house they live in????? ive got a full time job, my own house, and a large disposable income and i cant even afford sky, let alone feel that i need it... it just doesnt make sense


anyway theres loads of rubbish to clear, its already midday on sunday, the house completes on friday so it needs to be clean, tidy and empty before then, my parents work full time as do i and they go on holiday on friday....... am i the only one that thinks the house wont complete on friday and ill end up loosing another weekend (oin my own) to tidy it...?


i am so unbelievably wound up about this it isnt true, im one of those people who cant sit idly by whilst people work around me, i feel guilty and always end up helping, even if i dont need to, so i really dont See how my sister can sit around while we tidy her house for her and stare at myspace all day







GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
 
LOL - if it looks like rubbish, chuck it away. If she moans later then you can tell her that as she wasn't ther to ask, someone had to make a decision, so it's tough!

At the very least then, you get some entertainment out of the situation! ;)
 
Sounds just like my sister when she moved house - everyone else did all the donkey work (except me cos I refuse to be taken for a mug). I'd be having words with her if I was you.
 
Hire a very large skip and throw everything away.

I'd be wound up too.
I work damned hard for my money and value every second of my precious leisure time.

I certainly don't like spending it wiping someone elses' backside.

Its very simple. If it fits into a bin liner, its rubbish. If it doesn't (like a TV or such), she gets to keep it.

If she wants her trinkets sorting out any more fairly than that, tell the lazy little cow* to come do it herself.

(excuse me referring to your sister in bovine form - figure of speech)
 
hehehe....get if off your chest!
 
or...a completely different way. Hire a van, chuck absolutely everything in it, and drive it over to your sisters new flat. Dump everything that was in the house into her new flat. Ta da, problem solved

and, don't bail her out when she gets in debt for not paying the sky bill.
 
my sister is just like that...she used to ALWAYS go to the loo when the washing up needed doing and then appear when it had been done!

I vote this one:thumbs:

To be honest shes the one with a problem, she seriously needs to get a grip on her priorities and grow up - otherwise shes going to struggle when you and your family arent around to bail her out.

Dont blame you for being PO about it though - you need to get out with your camera and relax;)

ha ha...it did sound a bit like that ooops....:bonk:


Do you know, reading this topic makes me realise that families are the same the world over....there are takers and givers....

My Mums best friend/lodger/lover/bloke died this morning and guess who came out of the woodwork....the very person that slagged him off the whole time he was alive....I am very sad today, could do with a group hug! Going off to Enniskillen to be with my Mum on Tuesday til Saturday, feel most peculiar, sort of light headed.....:shake:
 
Sorry to hear that Marianne - my condolences to you and your family.
 
Whitewash,

You do it because you are a good person. Fair play. Your time will come.

Trick is learning to be cool about it and not wind yourself up so much ... hard but doable and you will feel even better when your time does come !
 
We must be related whitewash, I have the same sister!
 
do what the others said and chuck it out. i cleaned out student houses for a summer and i had to throw EVERYTHING out, tv's and hifi and all. so i took it all and sold it to one of those dodgy looking shops, made good side income from it :D
 
all done, everything dumped in her new flat (which amusingly has a huge torrent of water coming down the living room wall) built her bed, dumped all her stuff. wound up all day, ive been to the tip about 5 times today!

all done and im certainly not helping her move house again, its too much hastle. when i moved all the rubbish was thrown away, everything was boxed up and ready to go, but some people are jyst not very organised.


job done and thew house will now be sold and the profit (what the c**ting taxman doesnt steal) will be split to allow me to do some work on my house, which is all good


but im NEVER helping anyone move house ever agvain, unless its me!:bonk:

on the plus side i retrieved some items from her, i now have a signal booster attached to the tv which means my freeview box gets more than bbcthree and a bed for my spare room!

Aww ****group hug**** for Marianne, hope things go ok and your mum is doing ok too !
 
Throw it all in a skip - if she complains, tell her that she should have been there doing it herself if she was worried about stuff vanishing into the bin.

Won't happen twice, I tell you. Since she behaves like a kid, treat her like one - simple.
 
I do have to say that people make a rod for their own backs when they constantly do work for others.

You can't blame someone for sitting on their arse and letting others do all the work if the other do do it. (Not the best English there!)

The best answer is just leave them to it, I know that you had to help your parents with the clear out, and that's cool 'cos they're your parents, but don't help your sister if she's not helping you.

So, one question, why did you build her bed for her?
