glammanana Thu 21-Jun-12 20:59:53

Annika You are not supposed to swallow that much you are supposed to save some for the jellies,we will end up with Tee-Total jellies ??? now where did I put that spare bottle ? (madly runs off to look in all the hiding places that mr.glamma doesn't know about)

I'm bringing my purchases from Amsterdam!

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:09:50

Not in party mood, having a big sulk and a bah humbug moment.

So there.

But those that are partying, have fun.

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 21:11:35

It's not til tomorrow!
Why the big sulk?

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:18:23

variety of reasons, but Mr P has really, really, really, pissed me off made me a bit miffed.

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 21:25:17

Oh dear! Men can be a pain. But you have to remember they are not rational thinking creatures like us!
They keep their brains in very odd places, and their brains have no connection with their mouths.
You have to humour the poor things for the sake of the propagation of the human race!

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 21:28:38

Huh! I've done my bit in that regard - the only reason I humour Mr A nowadays is when I want him to take the bin out! grin

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:29:26

Humph! Doesn't require much brain to see a pile of washing up! Might actually put it on AIBU.

glassortwo Thu 21-Jun-12 21:35:10

phoenix you should know by now that men wear magic glasses........ they live in a perfect tidy world where nothing ever needs done wink I need a pair!

glammanana Thu 21-Jun-12 21:37:50

Can we get two for the price of one at Specsavers.grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 21:38:35

Sorry, but you haven't recognised the well known medical fact that men suffer from a rare form of congenital amblyopia. This renders them unable to recognise certain things.
Egs
1 they cannot discern it is neccessary to remove the top of the linen basket to place laundry in it.
2 visual impairment renders an inability to realise a pile of dirty plates requires action
3 that when searching for a pair of socks they will be in the same drawer that has been used for socks for the last x no of years.

A loving wife will realise and give tender love and understanding to these poor underprivileged individuals!

Mr. M is really good at getting corks out of wine bottles. So good, in fact, I found a neat little hole in the middle of a screw top. His excuse is he's partially sighted.

glassortwo Thu 21-Jun-12 21:41:11

grin you have it there. jeni
glamma do you think specsavers would give us a GN discount wink

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:49:44

I have worked from 9am to 4.45pm today, albeit at home. It was one of my designated days for my new part time job. I shut myself in the home office, only coming out to:
Make coffee
Have a pee
Make more coffee
Have another pee.
Get some lunch

On one excursion to the kitchen (making coffee, not having a pee as that would be so wrong) Mr P was in the kitchen eating a sandwhich. Last nights washing up was on the side. Next trip down, to make some lunch, Mr P had retired to the bedroom to read his book, the washing up was still there and had been added to. I couldn't make myself some lunch with it still there, (not a case of lack of room or crockery etc, I just couldn't!) so I washed it all up, made my lunch, ate it, then washed that up and went back to work.

To add insult to injury, he forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer for tonights supper.

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:54:40

Ha! Just got my own back, in a rather minor, petty way! Used his bathrobe to dry the cat!

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 21:57:02

grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 21:59:08

Oh dear.
In other words 'typical male behaviour! '
This is quite normal for his sex.
Don't worry! Treatment is not neccessary. Just a withdrawal of conjugal rights and non provision of services such as cooking, shopping, laundry etc for a few days.
This should soon restore his sense of proportion.

And coming to the party tomorrow should restore yours!
grin

Anymore problems, please remember,agony aunt jeni is available for consultations! smile

Perhaps I should start a new thread?

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 22:02:41

Yes!

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 22:04:15

Yes what?

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 22:06:36

CONJUGAL RIGHTS! CONJUGAL RIGHTS! I should be so bloody lucky, and have a good memory. Mutter mutter, grump whinge curse.

Or I could have a Father Jack moment and just say "feck!" "arse!" but I think for now I'll stick to his other favourite phrase, "drink!"

glammanana Thu 21-Jun-12 22:13:29

There you go phoenix you will feel better now you have had a good old rant grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 22:13:57

I get the impression you are really pissed off a little perturbed?
Remember, there are good moments in your life as well.--tell him you are fed up--
Then try to have a nice cup of cocoa together and snuggle up.-- give him a slap round the chops--
