(You have my sofa!)
How are you feeling today?
-
LOL!! Thanks all, but can you keep it down a bit.... ;) Still really happy, but bit delicate to say the least!! Lovely planter Wardy....!! Thanks again, and yes it's a fabulous feeling, but more so cos of your wonderful replies, thank you. Lottie ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
weldone lottie weldone you :) :) :) proud owner of nice shinny sheild just what yoiu have allways wanted , really chuffed for you , put that baby down you have enough :o :o :o
-
Still trying to work out why I'm holding a baby myself, Dibs??? OH could of put mop in hand and I woudn't have noticed....then I would have hit him with it obviously...!!! ;D Aqui, can you come and mend it then!!!! Thank! ;)I'm having nice meal cooked for me tonight, and my Dad has dropped round 2 bottles of wine......Oh dear :-\ Lottie ;D
-
I object to that broad brush statement about husbands Wardy ! ;)
I for one am quite capable in the kitchen and regularly 'prepare' ingredients ready for the pot, and am a dab hand at using odds and ends to knock together a meal. Almost without fail, when I bring produce up from the allotment, I will leave a pile of pile of carrot batons, courgettes, peeled onions ready for chopping etc.
I can then descend into being a lazy drunken slob with a clear conscience ;D ;D ;D
Derekthefox :D
-
sorry Derek i agree with wardy man can be bloody lazy us women are slaves , not all are the same but most , i love my oh dearly but the older he is getting the more dam lazy he is getting :o :o :o :o
-
I agree with Foxy Derek.... I too love to cook and can manage to produce a pretty good meal or two.
The problem is my Governor won't let me in the kitchen.
all say AAAHHH!
She (who must be obeyed) says I use all her stock up on one meal...not true of course ;)
I am allowed to wash the pots..I am the dishwasher folks, I don't break down and am economical on the electricity although I do accasionally come out with strange gurgling noises.
I am not allowed to clean either (Yep, I'm the guy who married an angel)....maybe it was something to do with the time I was allowed loose with the vacuum and ended up washing paintwork, windows ad infinitum.
I was then accused of insinuating that my dearly beloved's cleaning wasn't up to scratch...that was it... banned!
Only trying to help...you can't win fellas
Derek
-
You poor lamb, Derek, it's a hard life!! But, I have to say, I'm with the boys on this one. My OH is pretty good, OK, really good. We don't really divide jobs, if something needs doing one of us does it! So he could be ironing, while I'm cutting the grass!!! Still no sign of meal yet though ::) ::) ::)....the worm could be turning!!!! I've not been allowed near electricity for a while though..... :-\!! Lottie ;D
-
do you wont to swap then lottie , you can send my oh back when you have him trained ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
This looks like an interesting version of the traditional sex war . . .
So I am gonna pull up a chair and a beer and watch it happen ;D ;D ;D

My old man must be a dinosaur. He left home at about 7.30 am and screeched to a halt outside the gates at 5.30. I says can you help me lift this massive great heavy planter which I;ve just filled with home grown spring bedding etc. He says nah going to footy. Returned home at 11.30 ish to bowl of fantastic home made chicken and celeriac etc broth, went to bed. Don;t think he spoke two words :( Is it me? ......
-
Wardy. A'HEM can't answer that!!!! He must be the strong silent type, should have let you see how strong by carrying in the great heavy planter. LOL Best wishes Lorna.
PS Shall I send young Lorna up to you? She is only 5ft 1in but as stong as a horse.
-
Oh Wardy!! Think subtle yet noticeable strike action could be called for...But must carry out with permanent smile, gliding calmly as you go about it!! No more broth, cold sausage from yesterday!!! Leave planter where it is in his way...accidently, of course......Praise for good behaviour, slap his legs for bad...! Dibs, happy to retrain, but I'm a hard task master.....Do have trench that needs digging.....He could be returned whimpering , but very grateful to be home.. ;D ;D ;D Lottie ;)
-
Great result lottie a very impressive shield it is to. You must be very proud and a bit of big headidness is allowable methinks.
I'm slightly confused though as to why a young thing like you brought that old lady home {WEG} ;) :D ;D lmao!!!!!!!!!
<<<<<runs and hides behind the nearest alien..........
-
You were so close, Icy.......my lettuces now have heat seeking technology...so no escape now... and Bob is trained in martial arts......and...you obviously don't know about my new toy, typical man, will never ask....sigh ;D ;D ;D Lottie
-
Methinks a banquet is in order..to our Queen Lottie.

Good stuff old girl?
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
LOL!!!! I so needed that Glyn! Thank you. My own stupid fault, I know, but the money from my honesty stall has all been nicked. :'( :'( :'(, talking few pounds for runner beans, few pots etc that paid for kids school dinners, oh well, suppose I'll have to have a dishonest stall, and mug peeps as they walk past.......... :-\ But still have shiney trophy, and now Glyn planning banquet.... ;D ;) Lottie
-
New toy? You got a new toy and never mentioned it? :-[ :'(
What is it, do tell, you know I'm a bog kid at heart so you can't go saying things like that and then not let on.......
-
Never mentioned it! Typical bloke - ignore all hints and down right blatant clues ;D
-
What do you think, Wardy? Few more hints? Just to be really annoying???? Jaggy said it was all "in the wrist action", he has been suitably chastised in the greenhouse... ;) ;D Lottie
-
i have wrapped oh up in brown paper all 6 foot 2 of him took some wrapping and paper all tied tight with string , did not write on parcel handle with care :o :o :o :o sent him to India first so he should be arriving to you in about a month , don't send him back till he is well trained , if he comes back better man perhaps wardy could send her oh next ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
OK, Dibs, will get cage ready......and perhaps hose if been in bag that long!!! ;D ;D ;D Lottie
-
make sure it really small cage and squeeze him ::) ::) ::) ::) in hose might be good ideal , just you wait till he takes his boots of ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
OK, peg on nose, with mask, rubber gloves, surgical gown :o and fire hose do the trick? ;D Lottie
-
you should ahve him shaking in his boots ::) ::) ::)
-
I have had to smile at all you ladies and your perceptions of us mere males.
Keep it up lads ....we've got 'em totally fooled ;D
Derek
-
Don't be so sure Derek, us woman know what you man are all about , :o :o :o :o its us women that have you man fooled ;D ;D ;D
-
Bless him....She says, shaking her head fondly....You have to give him credit for blind optimism though, Dibs...!! ;) Lottie ;D
-
I learnt the basics of married life very early on...simple.
If the woman of the house is happy then the house is happy.... if she's not... DUCK!
I have years of experience at nodding and saying yes in all the right places...and I've survived! Do we get a badge for that sort of thing?
I admit I have sailed close to the wind on occasions and as I am getting older I now have the added advantage of being able to pretend to have fallen asleep. ;)
Derek
-
Even being agreeable can get dangerous with those female types though Derek! I am forever being asked "Are you listening or just making all rhe right noises" :-\ One day she''' find out Im rarely listening ;D ;D So who's controlling who...........? lol
-
So...let me sum up, Derek (I'll get to you in a minute, Icy... ::))....you go out of your way to keep a woman happy, pretend to be asleep which is lovely cos we then get to be in charge of TV controls for once ::) and we're losing out how?!?!?! ;) Lottie
-
Hi All can i say a few words,
All mans problems was caused in the first five years of his life,
Why you might ask- because he was raised by a woman,
byee
windy :o ;D ;D
-
'The Governor' has the TV controls permanently Lottie...she has her own TV...Much bigger than mine of course.
I am allowed to watch it on occasions ;) if I have been a good boy.
Now the trick is that by lulling the Governor into a false sense of security I can go down to the lottie for hours on end plus all the other little things I get up to ...such as talking to you lovely ladies and gents on A4A ;) ;D
After all the years we have been married we do get on pretty well and I wouldn't swop her....sell her maybe...if the price was right.
She would probably pay to get rid of me though
Derek
-
Awwww, you're quite sweet really.... ::)! Have to say, Don't watch much TV myself now, eversince they stopped Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I'm at a loss....!! But my OH pretty good too now, took years of training, mind you!!! He looks after kids at the lottie, whilst I dig, pull, hurl etc!! But then again, he does get to eat the fruits of my labours....Not that I'll ever get him to eat my homemade tomato soup again, signed a contract promising never to make it again... ??? Or to enter the kitchen unsupervised..... :-\
Lottie ;D

Some years ago I was travelling home from a job listening to Radio 4 (well someone has to do it)
The programme was 'Does the team think' where a panel of four well known people answer questions from the audience.'
The question came...
"What does the team think about divorce and have they ever considered it"?
The presenter passed the question to an elderly dowager who had been married for around sixty years..
"Have you ever considered divorce Lady so and so"? he said.
It went quiet for a moment, then a thin wavering voice replied.
"Divorce never....murder many times!"
Now THATS marriage. ;) ;D
Thanks for letting me share that little gem with you all
Derek

Food for thought....
When I was a youth the ladies always wore dresses.
Over the years they have taken to wearing trousers... does this make them transvestites? ;)
When men take on wearing dresses that is how they are referred!.... unless you happen to be North of the Border of course
