Sorry Maybelle all I can remember is that she arrived on the day we married and has been with ever sincetchhmm

BBbeven and M0ncia I am quite adept at closing a wardrobe door whilst pushing a drawer closed my foot.tchgrin

Our fridge and freezers shouts if left open for more than a few seconds tchwink

In the interest of equality and not to be accused of misandry, I holding hands up to sometimes leaving the bathroom window open and my DH enquiring why are we heating the street blush ??

on reading back, also guilty of emoji overkill

Be careful folks - you may find you are accused of misandry!
shock

ps Why does DH leave the fridge wide open after he's taken out the milk to make tea? And leaves it open until he has finished the process.

I should be thankful he does make tea I suppose.

Me tooMOnica I can usually trace his progress around the house by the cupboards, drawers, door etc left open

I would just like a DH who shut cupboards and/or drawers.

Cherrytree would love a toilet roll fairy. Where can I find one ??

We have mysterious items that move around all by themselves and are never where DH left them. hmm

Maybelle we have our own personal toilet roll fairy.smile

Well, at least SOME men actually open the kitchen cupboards.

Mine just asks, "Where do we keep...."

And not only in the kitchen, but everywhere else in the house, including sometimes his own workshop!

And don't ask them to locate the spare toilet rolls.
Apparently I have been hiding them for the last 40 years !

Ha Ha. I often feel like sticking a note on the cupboard doors saying, 'It's not going to shout, 'Here I am.' grin

Ditto with drawers and everything else. When I go and get the thing he swears blind is not there, I usually speak to the item telling it what a naughty thing it is for hiding itself from him.

I may be over sensitive on this subject but it annoys me immensely...........of all the men I have worked with and the two that I have lived with not one of them has ever been able to open a kitchen cupboard and find anything! If it's not perched at the front of the shelf it's not in there according to the men! Come on guys, move things around a bit and look properly before closing said cupboard door and declaring defeat!
