Cleaning me Tommy Trinders

Ok, I got the trinder part but, what's the Tommy for? Just thrown in there to make it flow, kind of like apples and pears for stairs?

You mean they don't clean themselves? Yeah we do it ourselves, though the high ones pretty much don't get cleaned outside (unless R is doing it and just never made an announcement about it to me, and since he pretty much downloads everything that's going on in his brain, I'd say it hasn't been done yet)...

I'd love to have someone to do them for me, but I do it myself about twice a year. Once in the spring and once in the fall--they're about due right now. I have the kind of windows that go up and down but can also open inward for easy cleaning. I don't like window washing!

hi pikey guess it pays to be early on mylot I am number one,numero uno, whee. this is a first for me. Okay 'on to your discussion. Oh my this is one perk I really do love, I don't have to clean any windows here, whoee,yipee'and other words of that sort. I am so spoiled.but really I did not mind it too much as I used a mixture of water and vinegar'and dried my big picture window off with crumpled newspaper. the' only two things I hated was the nasty black smudges of newprint on my hands, and my son or hubby calling, hey you missed a spot,'theres a smudge over here. Now get this neither one of them ever volunteered to wash a single darned window. he he he You know living here and having almost everything done for you might sound like a picnic but believe me I would rather be doing for myself. anyway cheers for me, I aM NUMBER ONE.

I clean my windows periodically. I see no point in keeping programs that I'm not using any more, it just keeps the desktop looking cluttered. Last time I cleaned it, I was able to get rid of a pile of stuff. My step-daughter is one who can't visit a website without downloading something. Now she has her own computer to mess up. Besides, what's the point of having a nice wallpaper if it's covered with all those little icons? Oh! Where you talking about the other kind of winders? The ones with a nice coating of 'privacy dust'?

Hi pikefish, well there's no way to get to them, way too high, so I let the elements clean them. Must try and make it into a fun game for my son to do the inside ones but there's an awful lot of them and I used up the last of the vinegar as an air freshner. Don't believe we have window cleaners out here come to think of it.

I do my own. I cannot afford to pay anyone to do a chore that I am still capable of doing myself.

Neither. I have cleaned some of my windows in the past but my home is nearly all windows and so it is a huge job. I would like to have someone do them, but heck, I've only been here 3 years and 10 months...there's plenty of time for that.

IF my windows get cleaned than I have to do them - doesn't happen often...

Ooh, I didn't know that particular bit of slang. Interesting! We also have a window cleaner to clean our windows. I think everyone in our street has him, it just seems like an automatic part of moving to this street, comes with the territory or something! I'm not very good at remembering when he's coming, so I'm sometimes confronted by a man up a ladder staring at me through the window. Have to be careful, lol! And I"m even worse at remembering to pay the poor guy. Many a time have I had to hide from the window cleaner when we pass him on the street because I've either got no cash on me or I'm just too embarrassed about not having paid him for so long. We always catch up in the end, but that's just what seems to happen when someone only accepts cash. I couldn't imagine climbing up a big ladder to clean the windows myself. I'd probably kill myself!

Hi p1kef1sh I find that window cleaners are so expensive these days so I don't have one. They wouldn't actually get a ladder around to the back of the house either without going through the neighbours garden. I try to do what I can myself!

I do the insides but I have a window cleaner for the outsides,it is my luxury as spending money is one thing I avoid at all costs these days.I asked my husband about not having him anymore but he gave me the red light to keep him on.I think this credit crunch has made me paroniod about spending money.Our Tommy Trinder does a good job.

Oh P1key! You Know how I do Hate to clean windows, it is my least favorite chore and that I always make a bigger mess of them than Before they are cleaned but I do...well rather Hubby does fortunately "DO WINDOWS"...actually he has forbidden me to even touch them any more and while I am more of a Dominating person than submissive one, Normally being forbidden to do something would make me all that much more determined to do it, but in the case of forbidding me to even touch the windows I happily become submissive to him!!

hi pikefish, Clean my own Windows here much to my disgust as they don´t last five minutes. I was not born within the sound of Bowbells but my Sisterinlaw was and I quite often mimmick her accent a lot and she just laughs. I love that accent and I love London no matter what happens I will always love it and the Londoners are great too. Would not have reached Wolverhampton on time without them. We went round Piccadilly Circus seven times lol. But yes I have to clean my own windows my youngest son cleans windows all day long and he hates cleaning my windows so I do them myself boo hoo. Take care.

I clean them myself, Pikey, or I just don't clean them. :) LOL! We don't have professional window cleaners visiting houses and cleaning windows. We have to do it ourselves or hire a servant. Since I am my own servant and master, I just clean them myself. Cheers and happy Mylotting

Hi p1ke, either my son or myself clean our Winders, at one time had someone else come and do it especially the top ones but now it is either my son or myself it is also good exercise! hugs LoLo

Hi p1key, I remember my mum used and a window clearner when I was living with mum, since I moved to my own house, we never had one, hubby does it when he can remember or when I nag at him, lol. hugs. Tamara xxxx

since we are in a multi storey building it is very hard for me claen my windows on my own ,many times i take help of my servant maid to help me out,she climbs the balcony and do it for me,it is really a tough and scary job.But i see to it that it is always clean.

Hello my friend I live in a apartment building cleaning the inside is my only concern, my mom lives on the first floor usually the super will spray her windows when he cleans the sidewalk this has not happened in a while come to think of it, her windows can use a good cleaning hopefully someone will do this, sooner rather then later. Thank you.
