Do not look at the bottom yet, note the numbers before doing it. It only takes 2 minutes. 5 things are happening at the same time in your flat which need your attention.

1- the phone is ringing
2- the baby is crying
3- somebody is knocking at your door
4- you hang out your washing outside and it has started to rain
5- you did not turn off the tap in the kitchen and the water is starting overflowing

In what order will you solve these problems?

Note the order in which you would settle these problems on a paper and check how your decisions have been taken.

Do it, the results are very interesting...





























Each point represents something in your life.

You can see on the following list the definition of each point :

1- phone : work
2- Baby : family
3- Door : friends
4- Washing : money
5- Water : sex

The succession of numbers you have chosen define the order of your
priorities in life.

So, who decided to turn off the tap first?????????

Didn't want a wet floor

1. Turn the tap off - didn't want a flood, and it only takes 2 seconds.
2. Open the door - invite your mate in.
3. Answer the phone, whilst asking your mate to:
4. Tend to the baby - not urgent; the bastards are always crying. It's when they're silent you need to worry.
5. When all else is sorted, get to the washing... for fecks sake, it's only just gone out so it was bloody soaked anyway!

I thought it was only practical, but maybe I am just sex mad after all?

It all depends which room you're in at the time. As you've got the tap running then you'd probably be in the kitchen anyway. So, turn off the tap, then grab the phone as it's probably closer than the baby, mine is anyway and as it's cordless I can take it with me anyway. Explain that the baby is crying as you run to it, and tell whoever is on the phone that you'll phone them back or they can phone you later. Answer the door with the baby in your arms, and sod the washing. It can go in the drier later.

Obviously there are other scenarios, such as being a twat and leaving the tap to run, and going into another room, then all of this happening, but who would leave the room when the tap is running anyway? That's asking for trouble.

It's actually amazing how much you can do with a baby in one arm, as the mothers on this forum will agree.

5 (Tap - Sex)
1 (Phone - Work)
3 (Door - Friends)
2 (Baby - Family)
4 (Washing - Money)

But think about it logically who in there right mind is going to pick their washing in before turning a tap off that is going to cause a couple hundred quids worth of damage?

Baby first. Then tap on the way down to going through the door seeing the person on the way outside to taking the washing in. Whoevers ringing can leave a message :)

You might have a flow/hole thing on the sink to stop it overflowing totally ;)
