second time posting on this topic! Dh is not playing ball!

[Rhubarb]

We have a friend staying. As we have no babysitter we agreed that we'd do shifts in the pub. I spent all day cooking tea, tending to kids, reading them stories and then I put them to bed. Dh did do the washing up, but I was the first in our 'shift' to go to the pub. I was there for half an hour and ran back home for dh to go. He's been there an hour and a half and will have had 2 pints - obviously I don't count!

I'm getting mad now!

He's my bloody friend too!

ooooh! that's a dirty, low-down thing for a dh to do but typical of men.

call him on his mobile and give him a bollocking

when he gets back, go out and do the same to him - go clubbing

He doesn't have his mobile on him and we live in a tiny village, pub just down the road. I naturally thought he would come back once he had finished his drink too but obviously not!

Why are they so fucking selfish?

Yeah, and then don't come back in till the early hours

rintg directory inquiries, and ring tghe pub - say it's an emergancy to the landlord, and he has to come home right away.

Yeah but you see, I'm too considerate to start an argument when mate is staying. But I really am getting annoyed now that I rushed home so he could have his turn only to find that he doesn't give a toss and obviously thinks he should have priority because he's a man or whatever lame excuse he has. He must have bought another drink and it hasn't entered his head to think that I'm sat here waiting.

Bastard!

Nearly phoned then but not sure pub would call out his name and I don't want to feel stupid into the bargain!

Tell him I'm coming round next week to get the mandolin book back - that'll mek him think on

hmmm, just down the road eh? could you make it there & back in 5? would you?

And risk MN wrath?????

Yes I could but like I said, I don't want to argue in front of mate and if I went there now it would be obvious I was pissed off and mate might feel uncomfortable. See how I always think of others? Unlike dh!

Now nip out and have another look at that eclipse, it's close to complete!!!!

Yeah. You wouldn't have time to give him hell but at least you could stick your nose in the door & clear your throat ominously while pointing at your watch.

In fact go and stick your head in the door of the pub and shout QUICK! YOU'RE MISSING THE ECLIPSE

and then when he comes out, you run in [wnk]

even!

Yes, i second sauce. We won't tell - run down the road, walk in with a big smile and say 'my turn!' Then hiss in his ear 'Quick, before anyone notices we've left the kids at home alone and we get arrested!

good one, janH!

OMG! I called the wrong number cause I thought dh might have his mobile and this guy answered and I yelled "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? WHERE'S MY BLOODY PINT?" and this Geordie guy said "Err, wot? Sorry but who are you?"

So then I remembered right number and called it and dh does have his phone for once and said that he didn't realise it was a relay and he's coming home now and mate has bought me a Guinness in anticipation of my arrival!

He's still a div though.

Can't see moon still unless I drop my kecks.

yes,JanH maybe we need a smiley for w*nk!

oh rhub! I practically wet myself laughing!

Enjoy your Guinness!

What, so you were doing it in shifts, and he thought you'd have 8-8:30 and he'd have 8:30-11? I hope you got a lie-in this morning!
