DH has just wandered out into the garden stark naked

Because he wants to have a bath and I took the towels from the bathroom this morning, for a wash.

Yes, I realise I always usually replace the old towels with fresh ones straight away, but just this once I didn't. (Shock horror)

He knows where the airing cupboard is, and he knows the towels live in there. "Should I take this one off the line?" Err, please yerself? But dont frighten the neighbours!

We live in a street of semis. Maybe its quite normal if you have privacy.

My DH frequently ‘goes’ on the compost heap when he’s gardening as it’s quite a trek through the house and having to take his shoes off to come indoors.

We’re not overlooked unless someone chose to balance one handed off a satellite dish with binocs in t’other hand and then it would jolly well serve em right!

When we lived out in the wilds my husband did that a few times. He said it made him 'feel free'.
We were about 400m from our nearest neighbours so it was fairly safe, but you never know, someone might pass in a tractor etc.

Farnorth gosh! Lol. So funny!

He was just making a point

And where was he pointing? grin

The British are such prudes wink

I know everyone is laughing but I think it's a bit strange to do that.
What - walking through M&S naked to buy a prawn cocktail?

Doesn't everyone do that? confused

My DH sometimes liked to take a naked run around the outside of our house, after a bath.
Luckily we're in a secluded spot in the countryside.
And postie (or the Mormons) didn't happen past at the wrong moment, as far as I know. blush

annep1 he's got definite leanings towards nudism. Don't worry about it. wink

Gonegirl Sat 03-Aug-19 22:08:20

It wasn't anything like throwing a tantrum RosieLeah. Don't be daft. grin

Minimoo ?

I know everyone is laughing but I think it's a bit strange to do that.. Am I lacking in SOH? ?

'Don't frighten the horses!' grin

When my son moved to his current house my 6yo GS kept saying there was a naked lady next door. Ds put it down to a 6yo's vivid imagination until one day ds saw for himself. Their new neighbour was a very elderly lady who liked to wander about on the flat roof of her house in the buff!

I hope there weren't any gnats or, worse still, horse flies around Gonegirl! My DH said I must be "sweet meat" as I was only out there 5 minutes, when I was bitten. They ignore him.

MissAdventure Sat 03-Aug-19 20:39:06

Ah, I get where you're coming from now, Rosie.
I don't envy you, having that many males around!

RosieLeah Sat 03-Aug-19 20:33:37

No, MissAdventure....but with 3 brothers, a husband and two sons, I know how men expect women to do everything for them. When things are not as expected they can behave just like divas...wandering into the garden naked was the equivalent of throwing a tantrum.

MissAdventure Sat 03-Aug-19 20:23:34

Have you got the hump, Rosie?

Gonegirl Sat 03-Aug-19 20:21:25

God no RosieLeah! I wouldn't be in his world if that was the case. grin

Gonegirl Sat 03-Aug-19 20:20:26

Minimoo I guessed it. We all did. grin

RosieLeah Sat 03-Aug-19 20:17:25

Does everything have to be 'just so' in his world?

Minniemoo Sat 03-Aug-19 20:16:17

Calmly walking through M&S naked I should have said. I always ruin punchlines and stories by missing out that one important word.

Minniemoo Sat 03-Aug-19 20:14:28

I hope this thread isn't going to bring back my recurring nightmare of calmly walking through M&S to buy a prawn cocktail.

Callistemon Sat 03-Aug-19 20:11:47

He was just making a point

If I don't put the towels out then DH always takes the wrong ones out of the airing cupboard.

Although - is there such a thing as a 'wrong towel'?

Gonegirl Sat 03-Aug-19 20:09:20

Great sense of humour you've got there RosieLeah, grin

Callistemon Sat 03-Aug-19 20:08:24

shock

Why is wandering around in the nude in a private garden behaving like a spoilt brat?

It was very funny.

RosieLeah Sat 03-Aug-19 20:05:50

With luck, he might grow up one of these days and stop behaving like a spoiled brat.
