Haha, I'm pleased he makes someone laugh! Do you remember that programme with Frank Spencer called Some mothers do have them? Well, I thought no such petdon existed, until DH came along that is. I really could tell you some stories indeed. Like him and his lovely large dog, who is very sweet, and just like his poppa. Clueless. These two were made for each other, I swear. This boy is definately a daddies dog. He is supposed to be a big, strong and dominant breed. It will cry when poppa has to leave him, sleeps on the bed as I always find him laying beside poppa when I get home from work. His poor derrière is too soft to sit on the floor. He likes the sofa. I usually cook mince and veg for said dog. On more than a few occasions, I have come home to find dog has either eaten poppa's tea or poppa has eaten dogs tea. If you don't know which of you I've cooked for, ask! Some details I will omit, a bit outing. Most of us drive, yes? And we know what our cars run on, yes again? Well, not our 'Frank". Let's just put petrol into the diesel car and drive home. Oops, we've broken down, haven't we. Right, huge kerfuffle and a tow truck later. Hooray, we're mobile again. Lesson learned, or was it! Yep, you guessed correctly. We obviously had so much fun the last time, we thought we'd do it all again a couple of months later. Car now completely gubbed., He is an expert seaman and anything to do with driving a boat is like breathing to him. Could turn a boat on a sixpence. But not a car it seems. At the petrol station, let's just reverse into great big petrol station signpost thingy. He enjoyed paying for that one. Being a sailor, he can tie any kind of knot you could think of. I had some tomato plants and some stakes. Please would you just pop these stakes into the pot to give my tomato plants some support. Support? He had them hog tied and tied up like hostages. Sweet Jesus and all the orphans, it looked liked scaffolding ??? also, there is a reason for following instructions on the laundry liquid bottle. Half s cap does not equal half a cup, because that much could never clean a load of dirty clothes. Took pity on him and gave him vinegar to help get rid of some of the suds. I don't know why, maybe domeone out there can tell me. Why are towels hung sideways on the rotary drier instead of, like most people, longways. He is banned comety from touching my undies but one time he thought he'd help by washing them. No problem, but I do not wish to see rows of my knickers and bras pegged up like bunting on the outside of the rotary drier for everyone else to see and enjoy. I really could go on and on, but probably bored you enough already. I now understand why married men live longer than single men and why single women live longer than married women ? I hope you all have wonderful day and to any other Mrs Spencers out there, I truly do understand ?

Get one of those whiteboards you can put in the kitchen and write a list of the chores that need doing daily. He can tick them off when done. Or you could get a little star chart and give him a gold star when each job done. You are obviously trying to treat this irritation with some humour, so keep on at him!

This made me laugh.He sounds so much like my DH.Keep the lists going on a daily basis,and grit your teeth. I often wonder how my DH doesn’t get bored with all the tv as it drives me crazy. Like you I clear away and then,he waits until I am in bed settled for the night and will come in put on the lights and ask if I have seen his belt ,trousers jumper etc, and he can’t grasp why I am not a happy and helpful;He has had all day to sort this out .Are you allowed to think murderous thoughts lol.grin

Probably done to death but just need to vent or else I might just be up for murder! I work full time shift work, DH does not work. He does have quite a few health issues but can still walk, talk and do things., The house is a bloody tip. I'm cleaning kitchen and scrubbing cupboard doors and over it pops. "Is there anything you want me to do?" Says he. I shall not write my thoughts here, too incriminating ? I hate clothes draped over chairs, so after 3 days I hung up his good trousers. Again, over it pops. "Have you seen my trousers?" Yes. "What did you do with them?" I hung them up. Get this, "Where did you hang them up?" In the bloody fridge you twit ??. I can give him a list of things I want done, no problem, he'll do it or I'll ask him to do something and it will get done. However, no instructions, nothing done. Parks his bum on the sofa and wstches TV, he's there right now.,I never knew someone could love a TV so much. Once I "accidently" took the remotes to work. Haha, I swear he had withdrawal symptoms. Well sweetie, enjoy your programme because you're about to get hit with a request to please clean the bathroom......, He is a lovely DH really, no real issues apart from the fact why does he need to be told what needs doing? All the time? Rubber gloves sweetheart ? ???
