Just let me explode..........

Everything glamma said I know I'm very lucky. He also lets me decide where to go on holiday.

Oh Dear I thought it might be just me but DH has recently (or I have just begun to notice) been talking to me as though I am a total incompetent!

Things like telling me to drink my tea before it gets cold and today, on a trip up to town, he told me to remember to take my ticket out of the barrier machine . I find it extremely irritating and he can't see why..he thinks he is being helpful

Mishap Take it to somewhere else and get them to fix it. is there a reputable local computer shop nearby?

Flipping heck!

We bought 14 matchpots

DD1 is always grateful for our indecision as she uses the matchpots.......................

Thanks goodness mr.glamma does not have a clue which key to press to start up lap-top or tablet,he must be a one off my hubby as he will eat anything put out in front of him I never ever have to ask him what he wants for mealtimes,I choose the colours for decoration and he enjoys doing the work for me he is so laid back he is horizontal some times,as long as he has a constant supply of his favourite choc's and biscuits he is easily pleased.

Explode away Mishap - better to explode at us than DH.

I used to be really decisive but I've caught indecision from DH. When we decorated we bough 14 matchpots most of which were a variation on cream. DD1 is always grateful for our indecision as she uses them to do big art things for school and for murals in the children's bedrooms.

Oh Mishap!

Me and my old sit-up-and-beg computer understand one another. Behaves perfectly for my needs on the whole. However, if and when it does behave in ways which I don't understand, I KNOW Mr. P has been using it. I screech - he pops his head around the door and says "...ah, yes, just give me 5 mins ...." I groan. It's going to be longer.

He has a newish, wizz-bang ipad thingy - so I'd really rather he kept his hands off my old dear.

I lust for a sweet Apple.

Sounds familiar to me *nanapug". I get a slight variation on the theme. If I ask Mr Gaga what he would like for dinner the usual reply is "anything". One of these days I'll give him some bird food and see if that fits (or fills!) the bill.

I get this kind of thing too.

Recently I decided I couldn't stand the shilly-shallying any more and now I just firmly take control and say something like, don't worry about it, I'll decide/take care of it/know what to do etc.

DH usually agrees, feeling relieved. Don't know if the technique would work for anyone else.

And from me, too.

Not sure if I would have the patience, tbh.

Ah, sweet Apple. Charge up and go.

I like that Bez.
I'm just about to go into B&Q to get some colour cards so we can spend the next two months deciding what colour to paint the hall
Commiserations mishap!

Fortunately for me DH knows very little about computers and asks me if anything goes wrong! I usually solve it by emailing DS! But I do understand the problems as we can rarely decide to do anything within the house which is not thought about for a few weeks. I have got to the stage now where I actually say ' here is something for you to mull over'. The current mulling is about which coat to wear when we go to USA next week.

Sounds very similar to my OH Mishap!! I want a new lap top for Christmas, but I have told him he can have NOTHING to do with it. My DD will choose it and set it up for me, otherwise I will not see it for weeks and it will all be so complicated. He can never make an instant decision, every thing has to be researched and thought about and it too drives me mad. Even a simple question like "what would you like for supper?" gets great consideration and the answer is always "I don't know as I am not hungry yet". As if I can wait 'till just before supper to decide. I too am very good at counting to ten. Grrrr ;) xx

Totally different scenario Mishap but I pointed out to my son on one of his rare visits that my kitchen telly couldn't get some channels. After he left I realised that he'd 'looked at it' and, guess what; no channels at all and no idea when I'll be visited again. Then get annoyed with myself for a]being a slave to so many gadgets and b]not being able to fix things myself. Nearly threw my pooter out of a window several years ago when it stopped working .
