Niggles and smiles.

Why do men always load the dishwasher from the front? On the other hand, my snowdrops are blooming.

Gypsyqueen13 don’t apologise that’s so sad. I lost my son 10 years ago, still have his mug in my cupboard.
I don’t have a dishwasher but if h washes up he throws plates cups saucers knives and forks in the soapy water.
But at least he is washing up so I don’t moan. (I just give them a rinse)

My H loads the dishwasher but does it completely wrong half the time I have to rearrange it or rewash it ?
On the other hand my orchid has bloomed and my son is feeling well after his vasectomy ?

Facebook 'look at me posters.
DD and Sil offering to come over on Saturday night and cook us a lovely meal as a thank you for the help we give with childcare. Lovely.

the

DH ‘making’ the tea which involves getting out the mugs, teapot, cosy and tray (we are dead posh ?), then he switches on the overfilled kettle and wanders off............ If I don’t get up and make the tea at this point the kettle would be reboiled when he comes back. He seems to have been born without an Eco button.
Big smile that despite his health problems he is still around to wander off and re boil the kettle!

A friend who takes her shoes off in the hallway ☺ but the puts her feet up on my sofa, even summer with bare feet ?which is totally rude.

My Chrismas rose which is blooming beautifully even after being hacked back last year. ?

Sorry to put a downer on this post - I lost my husband last year and I would love to have the chance to put his mug in the dishwasher for him once more ?
Smile has to be the beautiful sunshine today and the air of optimism that February brings ?

Son and granddaughter (both live here) who never listen to anything I ask them to do or not do.....like Not using a different spoon to lift out tea bags from mugs when there is a tea bag squeezer kept beside the container for the used bags.

Watching the beautiful family of bullfinches which come everyday to my bird feeders. Used to be just mum and dad, but last year they brought 3 babies along, two males, 1 female. Im hoping that the babies will find mates and bring them along too.

Whoops, sorry, Jalima!

We're married to the same man! If I can see the greasy water in the bowl, why can't he?

17 month DGS falling asleep in my arms, I didn't move for almost two hours!

A domestically incapable husband - he really does do nothing in the house at all, which does niggle from time to time.

My smile for today is going to see my grandaughter

DH is very helpful and will often do the pots and pans - but leaves a bowlful of greasy dirty water there and doesn't empty it or clean around the sink.

A nice little clump of snowdrops is out in the garden, the daffodils are up and have buds and it was sufficiently sunny (but cold) to go out and prune the roses this afternoon

Teetime, I can let you have half a dozen squirrels!

My niggle is the blinking squirrels and my smile will be handing them over to Teetime

My real smile is the huge hug I get when I pick DGD1 up from school.

My slight niggle is her grumpy hormonal brother!

Marydoll My OH has just walked MY dogs and is now doing MY ironing.Why couldn't he just do it without announcement??

My smile is that he's doing it!

Marydoll Funnny how it's always OUR washing!!

Niggle, the friend who rang yesterday for half an hour and only talked about herself, could hardly say a word.

Smile, snowdrops my favourite.

Neither man in our house knows how to check their pockets for tissues before dumping stuff in the laundry basket. H niggles me when he constantly leaves the door between the dining room and kitchen wide open letting the heat out instead of using the door stop. We can't shut it fully because of the cat.
Todays smile, a parcel I've been waiting for has arrived.

Niggle today.... DH never pushing his chair back under the table when he leaves.
People who don’t listen to more than half an instruction or answer and assume they know
the rest.
Might be something different tomorrow !

Smile. .... thinking of , hearing from or seeing any of my lovely family.

Niggle: My DH kindly brings in MY washing from the tumble dryer in the garage, FOR ME. He then proceeds to dump it on the sofa, sits down and gets on with reading paper/tablet/ watching football etc. He has a persistent habit of leaving my underwear on the top of the pile, time after time, despite me asking him not too. Inevitably we have an unexpected visitors and my knickers are lying there for all to see! It drives me mad!!
Smile: My toddler granddaughter's smile when I unexpectedly dropped in today.

Niggles are about silly men who want to be in control of EVERYTHING (not DH but fellow trustees of a charity)
Smile today was a squirrel running across my garden. we have been here 7 years and never seen a squirrel as there aren't many large trees.

Mine will 'load the dishwasher' if I'm really unwell but he only ever puts in cups, bowls, plates & cutlery, leaving roasting trays, pans etc. on the side or to soak....grrr. Obviously awaiting the washing up fairy eh? Might bright moment will bec waking without a headache having got over a nasty cold which has had me worn out for the last ten days!

I get very niggled when I get up to hear football news from Sky Sports blasting out. OH to blame. Not only is the volume too loud (I always ask him to turn it down - he isn't deaf) but why football/sports news first thing in the day? I retreat to the kitchen and listen to the radio.

Blessed to have a long lost friend (recently found) tell me yesterday that I have enriched her life and I always cheer her up. That pulled on the heartstrings.

Forgot to post my smile ? Yellow crocus under my cherry tree.

Lemongrove, mine does the same and likes to think he is a logical human being.
