And I thought this was going to be a garden makeover thread Blush

RickOShay · 08/04/2018 10:03

Just how big is this patio Grin
might have a few contenders
mostly dishwasher related crimes

SneakyGremlins · 08/04/2018 10:03

I'll give you an alibi if you need one Grin

Hamster Jam is the pay-off line from a joke back in the 70s.

Shouldileavethedogs · 08/04/2018 10:20

Every time my phone goes off my DH thinks he should say......you've got a big bum. Hmm

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 08/04/2018 10:22

Is there room for someone who thinks they are good at accents ...

Crispbutty · 08/04/2018 10:24

Mine thought it would be funny to bring me a cup of tea in bed at 9am, and while I popped to the loo he whipped all the bedding off to put in the wash 🤨... I swear he’s the reincarnation of my bloody mother.

Crispbutty · 08/04/2018 10:25

I must add this was to be my only lie in of the sodding week 😡

AverageSnowflake · 08/04/2018 10:27

Mine runs a full dishwasher without a tab to "rinse" the dishes. Why why WHY?! Angry

glitterbiscuits · 08/04/2018 10:30

@AverageSnowflake - I can help you dig the hole.

My DH used to rise the dishes under a hot running tap, using up all the hot water. He has improved since the dishwasher arrived. It was a marriage saver.
This was 20years ago, even thinking back to this makes my blood boil!

GoodyGoodyGumdrops · 08/04/2018 10:44

Looks like we're going to need them, PostcodeJack!

OH loves to change the names of things slightly..the microwave is a MICK- RO. Drives me potty

lazyarse123 · 08/04/2018 10:47

Mine just breathing lately is enough to make me start digging.

turnipfarmers · 08/04/2018 10:50

I need a new patio, can you all come round and dig up the existing one for me?

Sprogletsmuvva · 08/04/2018 10:52

The kitchen worktop/ table filling up with stuff that could as easily have been put straight in the bin or recycling.

DeputyBrennan · 08/04/2018 10:56

My fiancé has been obsessively and repeatedly singing songs about how wonderful Mo Salah is for WEEKS. It is doing my head in.

deadringer · 08/04/2018 10:56

I have an annoying dh but no patio.Sad

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 08/04/2018 10:56

Discarded clothes always left on the floor!
Never, ever closing cupboards which he has just removed something from!!

NoParticularPattern · 08/04/2018 10:57

Yeah my husband does this hilarious thing where he pretends he hasn’t listened or watched when I’ve told him something or point something out. So next time we go past/talk about said thing he says “well you could have told me about xyz!”. Apparently this is absolutely hysterical eyeroll

TerfsUp · 08/04/2018 10:59

This is a great thread! Just the thing to cheer up a grey Sunday morning. (And my cat may be visiting your patio very soon if he doesn't shut up with the bloody howling about being fed his seventh breakfast of the morning.)

Zaphodsotherhead · 08/04/2018 11:01

Have you got enough space for anyone (anyone) who tells me again how 'hilarious' Jim Davidson is?

turnipfarmers · 08/04/2018 11:06

@DeputyBrennan he's not worth wasting a good patio on, LTB Grin

BluthsFrozenBananas · 08/04/2018 11:08

Me: As you’re in the kitchen can you put the kettle on?

DH: It won’t suit me.

Every. Single. Time.

I too feel the patio calling.

Butteredparsn1ps · 08/04/2018 11:11

Where were you all last night? DH thought a re enactment of kids mini disco songs via Spotify was an acceptable way to spend a Saturday evening.
