This text adventure is the third in the Ernie Spludge saga.
The stories are not the usual crime/fantasy/adventure type. Instead you play an anti hero doing normal everyday tasks. His idea of braveness is
to take a bath without wearing his water-wings! - reads in the instructions booklet.
In a way this reminds of the sitcom "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" where.

The main object of the game this time is to return the house to its original tidy condition before spouse Rosie returns from the hospital. Ernie has also to carry out all the little tasks that Rosie asked him to do. Ernie is not the sharpest tool in the shed, so you the player has to help him out.
