Why do I bother! (rant alert)

This may strike a chord with you all. It made me laugh anyway. ?

Eat the egg lol

Grandmama Next day no TP anywhere.
Where had it gone?

Luckily for DH I now find it funny but its gone down in family history as one of Dad's big mistakes!

Bull. Don’t you know that women, like elephants, never forget? ?

As I am three weeks into 12 weeks isolation, I am dependent on DH to bring home the shopping.

He doesn’t usually do this, and unloads it from the car with all the pride of having brought down a woolly mammoth on a hunting trip!

His only mistake so far has been to experiment with the list by adding a bunch of kale!

I found it funny as well.

A husband here. I can't wait to actually go somewhere. I insist on driving to the supermarket and wait patiently as she collects her clicks. I pack the fridge and cupboards anyway as I complained once about poorly utilised space about 40years ago so now it's my job.

We had a Sainsbury’s delivery at 11:50 this morning. I’m furious with my husband who simply dumped all of DD’s fresh stuff in carriers on the floor of the garage instead of sorting and putting into the (empty) fridge given over for her use. Minced pork and beef, chicken breasts, cream, milk, yougurts etc. Found bags 3 hours later and it’s 18c this afternoon. Said he thought she would be round to collect shortly after. He knows she works from home all day on Wednesdays. He is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. ?

Don't worry. He is all in one grovelling apologetic piece. For now...

Note: my DH's comment was quite spontaneous and made without any humorous intent
I was wondering whether his comment(s) might be even more spontaneous when you have him castrated; but on second thoughts please don't, otherwise I'll miss all the wisecracks about cracking nuts!

I wonder if the reason it’s quiet this afternoon is because your DH is trying to prise his “special nuts” down from his nostrils??? ?

I have laughed at this thread! Thank you everyone. I was going to suggest grating his nuts.

I would have struggled home with my own Large Easter Egg,
Special Pistacio Nuts, and Pink Lemonade which I am partial too. Plenty of nice treats for the dogs.

I would have told DH "Oh well you will just have to make do with this nice bar of Kit Kat that was all they had left"

Jane 10 know how you feel got back from Tesco after queuing for an hour to get in but we are all in the same boat and my husband told me quite seriously that he has cleaned MY bathroom and washed MY floor ( don’t know what loo he uses and what floors he walks on ?)
Also his a bit disappointed because Tesco doesn’t have the custard tarts he likes !!!

I think that last comment of JANE10's says it all really.. it's expected that you will think of everything. Wouldn't it be a change to just sit back and let someone else worry where the next shop is coming from.

Goodness Jane10, my DH simply wouldn't have dared to make that sort of comment!! IF he had, he would have been told in no uncertain way that in future he would be doing the shopping and to come back with all the things I insist on!! We are going first thing in the morning, 7.30-8.30. One of us stays in the car whilst the other queues and shops. When we get home, we have breakfast, then we both unpack and put away! What we can't get, we go without. Seems too be working ok!

I’m curious to know what’s special about his nuts.....?

Note: my DH's comment was quite spontaneous and made without any humorous intent.

I was listening to my favourite talk radio host on LBC. People were invited to message in about how lockdown was going. A man had said that he would be seeking a divorce when this is all over. He is expected to do all the cooking, cleaning and meals as he is furloughed and his wife is working from home. They are sleeping in separate rooms.
I think the wife will be well rid of such a spoilt, selfish man, many women have to work and run a home as well.

thought it applied to every outraged person (self included)
They look like"the seven old ladies who were locked in the lavatory from Monday to Saturday!"

Note that no men were "outraged" during the making of this chorale!

Jane you could suggest he does an online shop instead of you having to venture out.
I'm sure he will enjoy getting up in the middle of the night to get a slot, and you can share his frustration when it turns out that the single pack of six bottles of beer which he has ordered has been intepreted by the supermaket's website as a single bottle of beer.

Or when the small bag of carrots that he thinks he's ordered is in fact a whole kilogram of carrots, and he can then amuse himself making carrot soup and carrot cake
Happy days

For Easter Sunday I rooted from the freezer a turkey crown that I bought in the post Christmas sales. It’s large, we’ve been eating it for three days and there’s still loads left. DH is delighted, he never complains about the food that’s put in front of him and he loves turkey ?

Send him with the list. How damn ungrateful.

Oh and gloves pick up covid 19 the same as your hands. They are of no use
