Cavey, don't choose Tesco's. I have only ever used Tesco's and they have always screamed "Fuck off!" at me complete with flashing neon lights. This is clearly the fault and spite of tesco and not me being not pregnant.

I think about all my exes have bred now. Yes.

I slept in a bra last night the boobs are so sore. On day 21, I have at least 5 more days of this to look forward to

And I have Teh Rage. How's this for a tale? Last night MrA promised to make tea (he's been promising for several days and finally did so) He said "What do you really really want?"
I said, "Really? I want toad in the hole with roasties and cabbage."

He looked a bit pathetic, so I offered to make the batter. I also gave him instructions re: parboiling potatoes and timing etc after he had asked how to do everything else as well. I HONESTLY was not setting up for failure, as I would doubtless be accused of in AIBU. A man of 36 ought to be able to manage roast spuds and Yorkshire batter. He decided to phone his mother. Now women can crucially check the dinner whilst on the phone can't they? Apparently this task is beyond men. Well my man anyway. I went into the kitchen and the potatoes were over cooked and falling to bits. Nothing "par" about the boiling here. They went into the fat anyway. The electric ring was left on. The oven gloves were left on top of the ring. THANKFULLY it was only the oven gloves which were on fire when I next went into the kitchen, rather than the actual kitchen. I shouted "fire" and picked up the oven gloves and threw them into the garden where they smouldered for a while. Did the exclamation of "fire" even bring him running? Er...no. "I saw you had dealt with it." Hmm

There's nothing really to add is there?

MadameBoo · 09/12/2011 10:31

Oh Rie. Yes. I hear you. MrBoo is EXACTLY the same.

MadameBoo · 09/12/2011 10:34

Re- exes - My most recent one has blocked me but I know he has a girlfriend who is fatter than me (why does that always make one so happy? :o) and has no children other than the one he already had when we were together.

KatAndKit · 09/12/2011 10:39

I would love to stalk my ex for fun on facebook. However he blocked me. He was the anglican priest who was getting divorced from his lesbian wife. In my defence I was recovering from a mental illness at the time I met him. I can't imagine myself being a Mrs Vicar, what with me being a fairly convinced atheist and all that. And he was a bit messed up in the head too.

AriesWithBellsOn · 09/12/2011 10:40

READ MY STORY PAY ME ATTENTION.

AriesWithBellsOn · 09/12/2011 10:41

PS sorry Boo Grin

MadameBoo · 09/12/2011 10:43

I'm friends with all my other exes. Hardly any of them have gone on to have children but I suspect one who I lost touch with (and am sad about that too) has gone to be a Dad.

Your ex sounds like a joy too Kat. With all of out shared experience we really should write that ESH book.

KatAndKit · 09/12/2011 10:44

rie you are absolutely right that Mr A should have been able to rustle up your dinner for you. It sounds exactly like the sort of think I can't be arsed learning to cook for myself and so I get my man to do for me. I give the illusion of being a crap cook at many things in order to get them done for me. And of course he should be able to cook and phone at the same time. I have been doing that for years. As for setting your oven gloves on fire, well really. Must Try Harder.

AriesWithBellsOn · 09/12/2011 10:44

Mrs Vicar? Like out of Rev. I watched that last night and was sniggering at their joyess TTC sex.

AriesWithBellsOn · 09/12/2011 10:45

HOW MUCH are we looking forward to the new Sherlock Holmes? Oh, so much! Robert Downey Junior - still got it.

MadameBoo · 09/12/2011 10:46

What sort of attention are you requiring Rie?

MadameBoo · 09/12/2011 10:47

When is it out? (SH)

RBJ has so still got it (we have the same taste in men actually don't we?).

KatAndKit · 09/12/2011 10:47

New Sherlock Holmes? Is there something I don't know about? Is it a film or a second series of that really good tv programme from last year with Benedict Cumberbatch in it?

AriesWithBellsOn · 09/12/2011 10:47

I was thinking more of tea and carrot cake.

AriesWithBellsOn · 09/12/2011 10:48

No, not Benedict. The FILM! With Downey Junior and Jude Law!

KatAndKit · 09/12/2011 10:49

I see a cinema trip coming on. When is this visual feast hitting our screens?

MadameBoo · 09/12/2011 10:50

I love the BC series anyway too - they left it on such a cliffhanger and they are going to do another series. That's settled then. Trip to London to the flicks and meet up with the Capital ESH.

blondechristmas · 09/12/2011 10:59

Mmm Benedict Cumberbatch.

AuntieDoris · 09/12/2011 11:02

I think a BESH Book of Wisdom would be a sure-fire hit on the Christmas Book Chart!

Right. Nails are painted. I am haunting the front door because the shoes I ordered to wear tonight haven't arrived...

AuntieDoris · 09/12/2011 11:08

Nobody has stalked me on FB yet. I feel like a social outcas!
