Aaargh! Just as I sit down with a coffee....

I am not having a relaxing day. Electricity off and waiting for engineer .. any time up until 6pm. Garage rang to say car was repaired .. £460 bill. I am not a happy bunny today!!!!

HousePlantQueen 😂😂😂

Yes, you are doing something today, Houseplantqueen. You’re digging a large hole in your patio and will be depositing your Dh in it and covering it over again.

Husband's are just great aren't they HousePlantQueen and yours certainly made me chuckle.

Funny, we had this conversation yesterday. I cleaned all upstairs rooms doing jobs my husband would never think need doing, and as soon as I lie on the bed for a rest up the stairs he comes, every time!
Why can he never come up while I'm scrubbing the shower?

Mine said last week 'I'm glad all the Christmas presents are bought. It's early but I'm pleased'. I said 'Eh? Really?. You've got them all? Wow thanks. That will save me do much stress. What did you get for everyone?' Cue DH clearing his throat 'Erm. I mean I've got all yours'. All mine consist of a couple of little things I've asked for!

Kate1949 😂 priceless!

Agreed!

Mine does that too nadateturbe the minute I stop to read a chapter of my book there he is, shouldn't complain as he encourages me to have a break. Why do I feel guilty if I'm not wielding some household utensil

I've lost count of the number of times as we're being thanked by someone for a gift we've given them, Mr. S. is whispering in my ear 'what did we get them'.

Mine used to say: 'You never sit down! Why don't you just relax, put your feet up and watch TV?'

- and I'd think 'When? Why? How?' - with 4 kids, a dog to walk, part-time work and a house to run - I didn't dare sit down.

I'd say 'But I have to peel the veg, get the washing in, go to the shops and collect them from school!' and he'd reply 'You can always do that later!'

Mine says things like "have we booked the flights/hotel/parking/restaurant /bought my sister's birthday present /whatever? I'll just say, no have you? Who is the "we" that is doing the booking/buying?

I know! I even jump up sometimes to look as if I'm working 😁

Smileless when I thank my son, he asks me what his wife bought me.
Men are funny. Their idea of "we".
Having said that I get breakfast on a tray almost every morning and a foot massage every evening.

I do that nadateturbe!

Grannybags that is so funny!

I am amazed that none of you ladies lives in houses which clean themselves.

Hetty that is hilarious, "you can always do it later". You are obviously not utilising the hours of midnight to 7 am effectively.

Mine says the same. I call it the royal we.

It's a standing joke now

DH tells people that I haven't worked for years.
He feels that as he has worked for the money we have and drives us around he doesn't need to do much more. After all everything is magically sorted in this house too.

My DH is like that too, but I’ve sorted the shower out now. DH was so proud of the fact that he can still kneel down without it hurting his knees, that he has to do the shower.

I can bend perfectly well but kneeling is painful.

So funny love this …bless him
Should have said yes we are, “ your taking me out for a meal “
Or ordering a takeout tonight .. lol

I don't think collecting the children at midnight would go down very well with the school! :D

My ex (I wonder why) thought if he'd mowed the lawn and put the bins out he'd done his bit. One Spring I was ill with a chest infection that I couldn't shake off. I was working part time and doing all the usual household stuff but didn't touch the garden. Sadly it has never completely recovered, despite my son's attempts to tame it over the years.

And I thought it was only me. Sits on his phone all day but as soon as I sit down and open a book, WOW starts conversation!
