Shosh - wanna swap dh's? i TOLD mine the other day I was on strike from cooking until I was better - told him I thought I was a SAINT for working as he'd be up in bed with MAN FLU for much worse!! he looked a bit put out but he understood - i didn't get dinner though, just got out of cooking!!! MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

looneytune · 17/05/2007 15:53

Mogs - how jammy is that! Tried all that when I first went to them with it and they were having none of it

I've finally got a sleeping baby but what a nightmare when she's awake - not sure how much more I can take of this and it's really affecting ds - lots of tears in this house at the moment (including me at the end of the day!) It's the afternoons that are a lot worse!

On the subject of DH's mine does all the cooking, he has been off today, so has done the washing, ironing, cooked the kids lunch, moved furniture for me, washed the kitchen floor and cut the grass and prepared tonights dinner, do you think I should buy him some beer and yes he does the drunken slobbering, does it when he is away as well then phones me, and falls asleep on the phone!

PC - just in time, DH having meltdown about money the other day. Let's hope that she loves us and that she gets her work sorted out. Poor thing is going back after maternity leave and trying to get it all sorted. I found that whole situation so stressful I never went back

Mogs -I hope my doc will see it like that and not charge me (but not take so long with it!)

My Dr took about 4 weeks to fill in my health declaration. When I went to pick it up they said they couldn't fill it in because there was nothing in my notes! Hmmm, that's because I'm never ill!! When they did eventually fill it in they ticked the wrong boxes!! Ticked that I had everything wrong with me. The Doc said he wouldn't charge me beacause it was for childminding and I'd be serving the community!! Bloody good job he didn't charge given the length of time it took for me to get it back!!

MaureenMLove · 17/05/2007 14:51

crace · 17/05/2007 14:40

No, but his farm yard animals are not to be beaten - dd is just so taken with it.

Mo, you are making me laugh today - mine does that too. Because we need the drunken slobbery words of affection. Cue me shoving him off me and telling him to go sleep it off. hee

fifilou · 17/05/2007 14:34

MaureenMLove · 17/05/2007 14:31

Mines quite good too. He cooks, most nights and he's good with his hands! He doesn't do Spiderman when drunk tho, just slobbers in my ear 'I really love you, yknow and we're alright aren't we?'

fifilou · 17/05/2007 14:26

but does he do a very good impression of spiderman when hes had a few?

beat that.

crace · 17/05/2007 14:25

Mo - lol

Well, I have got a good hubby as well, cooks; able to sort AND wash laundry; DIY - you name it. :P

fifilou · 17/05/2007 14:19

more money? overpaid? how very dare you suggest such a thing!

no, the degree isnt for another job, am happy where i am. Just for me really, to keep my brain active now the lovely lads are at school.

also my boss loves me studying (is that a bit wacko?)

I'm lucky hey?

great job, great wage, all in need now is a great hubby. Oh, I have one ( smug cow)

MamaG · 17/05/2007 14:16

good on you luv

MaureenMLove · 17/05/2007 14:12

I did and I'm waiting on reply. I'm going to get one of my mums to chase it up tomorrow actually. She's a midwife there, so she's in the right place!

Fifi, I have plenty more Goodhousing keeping tips like that one! Who need the FLY when you've got the LIE - ha ha![Mo congratulates herself on her shinning wit!]

julia5 · 17/05/2007 14:11

Crace I'll get the recipe out later on today, zooming off out now catch you later!

MaureenMLove · 17/05/2007 14:08

You ought to start a thread for ideas! So when you've finished does that mean you can ask for even more money for your already overpaid job!!

fifilou · 17/05/2007 14:06

thats an excellent idea!hoover and duster- Im going to do that but adapt it, so i might put a box of sorted out kids clothes near the door of the office....and ooops i was just checking my emails!

saying that, i have been good and all is done and im ready for the madness of afterschool riots.
