Mine's fetched our first click and collect order. That means we can do this from now on instead of taking a delivery slot from someone who might need it more. All good!

My DH has almost completed an update of my potting shed. I was quite content with the rather shabby exterior it had, but he felt it was a blot on the landscape, so he has given it two new windows (old double glazing) and wooden lapping. At time of typing, he has just made and is fixing a new door. I won't know myself - I just need to keep him out now! grin

Mine has done most of the ironing and then went on to fix a fence post. Makes him seem quite handy. To be honest I think he needs to find things to do to make up for all the bowls he should be playing. I’m not complaining. For a change.

Poor DHs they can't use the classic old excuse: 'I'll do it when I've got time !' at the moment! grin

He just said 'Right then, I'd better go and do something'

Not sure what.

Mine has spilt tea on the new carpet, walked through the kitchen in his garden shoes, I give up!

He’s tidied out the sheds and garage after eleventy billion years of me asking politely and not so politely. This is a major step forward from someone who really doesn’t like throwing anything out - I’m very proud of him.

Sigh - has not gas!

Jane10 Mon 04-May-20 13:58:26

DH gas taken over all dusting, hoovering, dishwasher and dustbin duties. All without being asked he's just slowly done it. Not complaining!

Sorry, there should have been two bs in wobbling!

Inspired by the discussion of the wobling toilet seat and the passing references to husbands, I would like to share the following:

DH has finally (it took three months) identified the grease trap, taken the lid of it and cleaned out the blocked drain, so now I can do a whole washing without having to wade through the wash-kitchen!

What have yours done recently to make you remember why we love them?
