A poem wot I wrote ...

I had such plans on sunday
Of what I would do on monday
But monday came and monday went
But monday was a day well spent
I spent it planning tuesday
Now tuesday was a day of fun and play we had Amelia for the day
And thought what to do on wednesday horrible day neither here nor there
I didnt do the chores,but really.....
I dont care
Thursdays here and so are we,sitting in bed waiting for my tea
today I will plan for me and my man
What we can do on friday
Well it wont be housework sorry to say...for we are going away and not home again till sunday
When I will sit and plan
What wont get done on Monday

Made me think of the Flanders and Hart song' The Gas Man Cometh!' Googled it for a bit of fun:

Yes I know the song * Imp* but that wasnt in my mind ..my lovely OH is off work this week and we have done S*d all ...we are away this weekend having fun...but I have made a small start of pulling off a strip of wallpaper ready to decorate

I have re-rinsed and taken out the washing from the machine that I neglected to put out yesterday . Still not on the line though - but then, I would need to get dressed

Still sat in bed drinking tea ...washing in basket washed last night ...still waiting to go out and got to attack Tescos

This is not domestic, so I am going off piste, but I wrote this after one of my first fishing trips. It is true!

I was fishing on a reservoir, casting flies into the gale (it was bloomin' windy!)
When I hooked into a good sized trout (it felt more like a whale);
As I tussled with this denizen, prayed my line would not give way,
Two old guys walked up behind me and blithely said
"Good day, Lad; Tha't doin reight well theere.
Don’t give 'im no slack and tha'll bank 'im, never fear."
I turned around and gave them
Both a nod and cheery grin, '
Twas then their mouths fell open
As if I'd socked them on the chin!
"By 'eck! It is a woman! '''Tis a lass beneath that hat!
"By 'eck! A woman fishing 'ere! Would you ever credit that!
Then "can we give a hand, lass? For tha's hooked a feisty thing!"
I assured them I could manage, so they stood back, muttering.
When I got my monster to the net, it surely did me proud,
But the muttering continued and then one chap said out loud
"Can't ever see it catchin' on, this 'women catchin' winners'.
They're only good for two things: dancin' backwards; makin' dinners!"

greyduster that made me laugh out loud!!! You painted such a clear picture.

Reminds me of the time when I was newly divorced and began studying for a theology degree. My dad came to visit and I was in the middle of translating some New Testament Greek -trying to teach myself the rudiments. He just shook his head and said ' A man wants a woman to cook his dinners for him, not speak Greek to him!'
Bless him!

Thank imperfect. Pink is fine for me but everyone else's post appear green! Oh well..

I've washed and ironed
I've vacuumed the floor
The dogs have been walked
I'm doing no more!

Nanny27 your posts only appear pink to you so they are easy to distinguish, they are green to the rest of us.

When I woke up this morning there was one thing on my mind,
DD2's results are out so please let them be kind
Her grades were just amazing - her hard work has done her proud
So now I'm here considering if boasting is allowed
Oh, what the heck, I've done it but a curious thought remains,
If she's in the top percentage just where did she get her brains?

Seriously though......Well done sweetypie

Ah, that's good news merlot - well done indeed as it has been all change this year too and much harder by all accounts!

Yesterday was shitty
Today has been more bitty

And you are very witty ...
- Or should that read knitty?
