Oh it was very obvious he was going to win (sorry if you haven't watched this!!!) feel so sorry for the other two tho!!

am going to google who won now

Bronze - It makes me really hungry too. Even if I have just eaten. And I always want champagne when I see others drinking it.

BB - John Torode James the Cat

Sometimes DH annoys me even when he is trying to be nice.

I wake him up at 8.30 to remind him there are three people here who need a bit of rudimentary assistance with breakfast as I can't do it.

He provides a tray of breakfast for me and the kids, and then goes back to bed until 10.30.

He then gets up and makes pancakes for the kids (a Sunday ritual I started in my mobile days).

He then rushes around like a loony in his bathrobe for 90 minutes, generally doing low level inefficient 'busywork' tasks that don't really need doing IMO.

He then puts the pre-prepared roast in the oven and the pre-prepared veg on the hob, all at the wrong temperatures so they start to burn, because he is faffing about trying to multitask in his bathrobe doing busywork.

He then offers to take the multitasking to new heights by offering to collect DD from college (20 minutes away by bike down a bike path) and drive her back here, while apparently simultaneously remote cooking the lunch.

He then declares he wants to have a long soak in the bath, but then decides a shower would be better, except there is no hot water by midday (it comes on 12-1 again).

He then gets dressed at 12.15 and leaves to get DD, having announced he has to do office work this afternoon so will be out of commission, so it's looking like the two square metres of wall in the bathroom won't get painted, and my bathroom cabinets can't go back up, and my toiletries will remain confusingly in random boxes for another week.

Tell me ladies, am I right to find this both funny and frustrating in equal measure? Why cannot men do things in the right order, i.e. get up, get washed, get dressed, feed people and then do the DIY we truly need them for????

BoffinMum · 01/03/2009 12:35

I can't even snap at him because he's trying so bloody hard!!

bronze · 01/03/2009 12:36

You're right and he sounds very familiar. Men pretend they're the logical ones but it's just not true.
I also think it's part of their method of dpoing things so badly you'll do it for you except of course at the moment yo can't but that hasn't regsitered properly

bronze · 01/03/2009 12:37

Can I now excuse my typing my children have gone horribly clingy and dd always seems to want to be either pulling on my arm or sat ont he desk in front of the keyboard.
In fact its doing my head it because I've been in one of those noone touch me moods for a couple of weeks now.

BabyBolat · 01/03/2009 13:03

In terms of weird feelings I have been really funny about being around 'people' at the moment - I hate being around anyone apart from DH my mum, dad and sister, but my friends and work colleagues, I just don't want to be near them - feel really uncomfortable - is that normal???

Am also being a bit clingy with DH (which I am not normally!)

What do you think...

bronze · 01/03/2009 13:07

think its normal and hormones

PuzzleRocks · 01/03/2009 13:18

Boff - DH was like that when we first married. We now start our weekends with a to do list and an order in which I would like him to do thngs. I am also a fan of leaving instructional post its on the fridge.

BB - It's completely normal.

BabyBolat · 01/03/2009 13:18

I hope so as I feel really bad as people are trying to see me and I am avoiding it!

BabyBolat · 01/03/2009 13:19

DH tries to do it his own way and then I have a strop and he does it in my order!!

BoffinMum · 01/03/2009 13:19

I certianly get it.
Roast looks like a bit of roadkill from a Carl Hiassen novel.
I do hope DH doesn't read this!!

BoffinMum · 01/03/2009 13:20

I think I will have to do a task list like for the AP!!

Bless him.

bronze · 01/03/2009 13:24

Wish we were having a roast but DH didn't take it out of the freezer.
Yes I can blame him my chickens (the dead ones) are in the deep freeze which is in his workshop and theres always something to do with his hobby on the top and I'm not allowed ot touch.

BabyBolat · 01/03/2009 13:25

Wonder how springy is feeling, hope she is resting lots and things have calmed down!

bronze · 01/03/2009 13:27

Is she still in hospital?
I was just about to post asking about her

BoffinMum · 01/03/2009 14:06

Roast actually tasted really good despite apparent innolation.

He has promised to do the bathroom wall before doing his office work.

What also amuses me is he runs a flipping department in his day job, and a multi-million pound budget, and is really organised and efficient!!

PuzzleRocks · 01/03/2009 14:49

Nutty - FYI so we can keep our tallies even

Where is everybody? DH is cooking a beef stew and DD is playing in the kitchen.

I hope Springy is ok.

of Boffs roast and Bronze's chicken ownership.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 01/03/2009 14:50

FFS AM REALLY FECKED OFF AT SHEFFIELD BLOODY HOSPITAL!!!!!

Springy Update - Getting really fucked off. They're not stopping at all, just slowing as i dont move. the second i go to the toilet, they start up again. still waiting for the second steroid injection and its looking like im in for another night AND the internet doesnt work on patientline here. I keep explaining about my family history and making a fuss and asking if i really am expected to just keep growing a baby who obviously wants to be out until 42 weeks. to which the answer apears to be yes. 42 weeks then induction & then if that fails it will be a cs WHICH CONSIDERING THE PROBLEM IS MY CERVIX IS REALLY LIKELEY. imn not happy at all. nobody's listening to me about my family history or how i feel they're just giving me iron tablets (nutty - WTF? is that for????) and nobody can make consistent descisions about anything!!!

Thanks puzzle

sorry have'nt caught up, i'm not being rude i will catch up later xx

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 01/03/2009 15:03

can they really leave her like this for that long just to go full term???? is it normal?? (springys not convinced)

previous txt re family history - my instincts are pretty much that i'm meant to be havig this baby. but theres nothingi can do. my cervix wont play fair. Just spoke to my mum on the phone for a while. she says she had very similar with me & even when i was 8 days late & she was in labour that ended in a baby she was a very painful 2cm for about 3 days and had to have her waters broken etc, so its clearly hereditiory.

PuzzleRocks · 01/03/2009 15:04

Oh hell, poor Springy. Fingers crossed they just stop as quickly as they came on.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 01/03/2009 15:07

do you think they will go away? as they start up when she goes to the loo etc?

i dont know what to say to the poor girl and i really want to give her some reassurance.

I have no idea. I'm going to see if I can find anything on google. Or maybe the archives.
