To think that after 6 years of marriage my husband might know how I take my tea?

Or even care about making a cup I would enjoy?

I like: strongish, one sugar, one sweetner.
He makes (on the rare occasion he makes me one): so weak it's barely tea, half a sugar - unstirred. For me, undrinkable. If I'm in the kitchen I go back, stick the tea bag back in (if he's left it in the ramekin we use for the purpose) add a sweetner etc. I might as well have made it myself. If I'm working 2 floors up it generally goes untouched.

I know, it's hardly assault and battery, but it makes me feel like he doesn't really know me or give a toss, y'know?

It's not as much if a problem ad it might be. His usual trick is to say - would you like a cup if tea? And then do nothing whatsoever about it. To the point that I think it's his way if saying "Would you like a cup if tea? Oh, good, you can make one for me while you're at it".

Oh, and he made HIS HALF if the bed yesterday. I mean, really?!

I probably am BU. But he's really getting on my tits just at the mo.

Ok, so just consider the birthday cake as a dry run. Am sure that no cake has ever had too many Buttons/Smarties.

A potato? A potato? Should be a grapefruit, but a Ruby one to affirm your nod to modernity.

I really like cheese. I quite like pineapple but together I thinks it's food of the devil. I think we should reconstruct the hedgehog idea, but with maybe sun-dried tomatoes & mozzarella. Except I don't like either of those.

Blush at the potato suggestion letting me down.

Agreed, sun-dried toms and mozzarella would be like eating broken in leather and milk left in a teenagers bedroom.

Feta and olives would be nice, but baggy me not put the very crumbly feta on the sticks (I'd crumble it on purpose so I could eat it all).

I have a reason to be up at this god awful hour, what's yours? Grin

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 03:10

Don't let it get you down. My nan worked in a butchers which oddly had grapefruit a-go-go so were clearly our pin-cushion of choice.

Correction. FMLOHB's

fuzzy Son's b day today; just me, mum & kids but am using the excuse of the nightmare that was 14yrs ago to have pushed the boat out tonight.

Mine was double yours so pushing a yacht out.

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 03:24

Do you mean yours was 28 years ago? That must count as a Diamond Launch or something!

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:29

by far the best recipes are the simple ones.

my favourite is melted camembert infused with garlic and thyme. I do the dunk thing with waitrose multi choice breadsticks. mmmmmm

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:35

I was joking spermy.. I also have a lad of nearly 14... arent they gorgeous

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:36

Not old enough to be horrors but just old enough to still cuddle.

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 03:37

You missed the Hmm off the end of your post fuzzy Grin

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 03:40

Sort of. Permanently greasy hair, out-grows his jeans nearly day by day, but otherwise a love & waay easier than the younger one!

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:40

I did didnt I, will add it now Hmm

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:43

My one isn't quite at the greasy stage yet.

I adore the way he is. He has lots of boy mates but he walks his friend that's a girl home, and he sort of awkwardly hugs her too. Bless

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 03:43

My 11 YO is gorgeous too Hmm

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 03:44

Agent! I thought you'd disappeared for more of your DH's snacks!
