"what have you done with my - blue jumper/ grey trousers/ favourite undercackers? " as if I've deliberately hidden it from him! He's supposed to have looked all over for it, I stop what I'm doing and within minutes I've found whatever he couldn't see under his nose hmm

Can you do me a favour?
Will you be in tomorrow?
What are you doing next Wednesday?

When you get up from sitting down: While you’re up, would you just….
Come and look what the dog’s done
And most often: Have you seen my phone? (why do I have to look for it too?)

That made me laugh Lexisgranny - whenever I say the words 'I've been thinking...' Mr A gets a blank expression and I hear a very quiet 'Ooohhh noooo' 😄

Where's my..? I hide quickly.
Well I didn't have it last. When he has lost something
Your better at this than I am.
I'm going to be asked to do something that will take ages
The DD's like talking to you better than me when he can't be bothered to communicate with them ,which after I have is followed with "Are you sure you've got it right?"

Or the other one, “I’ve been thinking…” 🤦‍♀️

When DH says, “I’ve had an idea…” - time to run for the hills! 🤦‍♀️

Haha😂 universal I’d say.
DP looks up worried when I say those same two things, and I grit my teeth when he says he’ll do something soon.

These are words floating across from my DH in a different part of the house.

1. “I’ll start it shortly, it’s only a 5 minute job.”

2. “I’ll be there in two minutes”

Today I asked him to reciprocate and my words that bring on a sense of doom are:

1. “I’ve been thinking……..”

2. “I’ve been writing a “To do” list of jobs.”

Are these universal, and should we be lucky that we could only muster two each? smile
