As long as you don’t involve the whirly line in any way tigre!
I’m with you BH as far as the food side is concerned and looking after Mr. F. but, as for the household tasks it’s not that I have more time but I’m afraid it’s more (I’m going to be very honest here) that my way is the right way – there I’ve said it -sorry!
BV I think Babeth gave some good information about the differences and no, travellers are not the same as gypsies, as you say.
You have nothing to apologise for Fruity, it sounds as though Mr F is a lucky man
Sensing hostility here and games of having to have the last retort so think I’ll refrain from posting for a while…
Don’t sound like your Mrs is ‘put on’ B’h’
Don’t do that J’ easy to misunderstand
Certainly isn’t B, she works long hard hours as a teacher and it doesn’t stop when she gets home, she does do her bit around the house I don’t do it all, she does occasionally pick up a duster
no seriously she does all the washing ironing etc, changes the beds, cleans the bathrooms so she does her wack when time allows. We are a good partnership and work well together.Jazzy, slightly confused by your comment.
Good teamwork BH, same in our household, both do our bit and it’s been said that we’re a good team.
(Am also slightly confused Jazzy)
Don’t go Jazzy , we all like taking the Micky out of each other, no harm meant at all! We would miss your contributions.
I often get the ‘hump’ J’
G thing
No hostility whatsoever, Jazzy, just having a laugh about good wives, sorry you feel like that, let’s face it you did suggest we lighten up, do keep posting.
When I retired at 48 I became a house husband. Still do my fair wack around the house except washing the pots.
I don’t wash the pots, I leave it to the magic cupboard to do that
You’ve a Very Serious!
Waste disposal unit, just grinds it all up and flushes it all away down the plug ‘ole, not even any stacking, brilliant
I do all the shopping, cooking and fix’n’mending of stuff, ‘cos I like it and am a bit better at it.
But not allowed to clean, apparently I am just not up to hoovering standards by a long shot.
My ironing attempts mean that shirts have as many wrinkles as I do.
Gardening? I am allowed the heavy stuff, my ‘making it look pretty’ skills were taught to me by a hippopotamus.
Yet I am the Boss.
I know this ‘cos she allows me say it.
Joking apart, the first time we’ve been invited to the farm next door, about 20 guess, we arrived the first. We are told to “do sit down”. So we did, except that I’ve been told, no, not on this side, the men sitting this side and the women siting on the other, so we can talk what matters for us, women. Ok, I did what I was told, except I had a struggle to translate what was said to Bill. It was the first time of my life I saw that. No offence, that’s the way they do it.
It is different when we are just 6 or 8 people, but now we know it, we both sit together about spot on in the middle of the table, so we are together, and each one on the right side !
This is nothing to be with being macho, we know who is the boss in the farm, and it’s not “he” !
We agreed no ironing chez nous, we shop together, it’s a run out for t’ old feller, (and we enjoy bargain hunting), an’ t’ old lad does t’ fixin’ an hooverin’ while ‘erself is out makin’ a copper at t’ offiss.
Mind, Herself can be quite handy when it comes to filling in forms an’ wot not ere!
I haven’t a clue
She made an Excellent ‘Bricoleuse’, when we were renovating this place
Can’t remember when I last saw our iron! These days no need for one.
Breadhead, I’m going to pm you my personal contact details, if you ever want to take on another wife I’d appreciate a call.
Oi, I though I was next in line ??
Pete, I don’t think Breadhead swings that way.
