Jimmy Shaker Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) The war department is a fine cook. Particularly with the baking, which I have no knack for. What she can't do is clean up as she goes, or after herself once she's done - or at all - in the kitchen, meaning it's easier for me to make a batch lot of anything that would feed 50 than it is to let her do so much as pasta and sauce. She has more than once arrived home at night and found the kitchen clean and asked if I've actually made the tea, seemingly thinking it impossible that someone could actually cook and clean up at the same time.

Hedgecutter Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Last minute planning for somewhere to go this long weekend. Her: I've never been to Yorkshire. Me: Not even driving through it? Her: Well, I went to York on a school trip. Me: Last time I checked... Eta: Turns out our annual holiday is going to be spent at a hotel <1 mile from my childhood home. #jetsetter Edited September 24, 2021 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is, it’s literally 5 minutes from our house. Ah good I’ll let <insertnameofuselesspalhere> know. We’ve been messaging each other this afternoon and I was going to phone directory enquiries to find out. Two women, messaging each other using iPhones connected to the internet, one was going to phone a fucking irrelevant service because neither of them thought to access the fucking world of information sitting right there in the palm of there hands. Ho ho, enjoy your new oak dining room tables and chairs. Probably set you back about 2k. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised there are any plates left to eat off after she's turned the kitchen into Hiroshima. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave258 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) My issue is that despite working more hours than your average convenience store clerk recently & typically coming home to sit on the laptop til 10pm, it seems that the fact she's on the rag means all my shit has to stop and the world must revolve around her. Literally just wanted 15 mins to myself last night after people barking at me since 8am, but apparently it was imperative that I learn about what Tracy did at work and why it was Trudy's fault and why that means Tina isn't allowed to sit with them at lunch anymore. The names may be made up, I could only hear white noise after the first 30 seconds or so tbh.

buchan30 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 On the cooking. I have got to give mrs b her due. She has always been a good cook, fantastic at baking as well. Can make a lot of things from scratch. Probably why i put on about 2 stone in the 1st year of us living together. My mum was a fantastic cook as well, her stovies were the best. My dad wasn’t the best of cooks, but we never starved to death. I am probably not the best cook either. When the boys were both really young, she used to work weekends, so it was left to me to cook and i have been able to make stuff I didn’t think i would be thanks to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) She's going to a surprise birthday do tonight. Earlier she drove home from Aberdeen past three supermarkets yet has needed me to go out and get stuff for her to take with. Also, the big 'surprise' was at 1900hrs. She's still upstairs.

mizfit Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I’ve no clue what she has done, but she’s managed to f**k the television viewing somehow and now everything is blurred and is sniggering, thinking it’s funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvellous excuse to order yourself a televisual upgrade and make her pay for it. If nothing else, mentioning the possibility will wipe the smirk off her coupon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 My mrs has gone from arranging nothing with her friends (“because I’m a mum”) to having shit arranged every weekend. I don’t actually mind this as I’m enjoying spending the weekends with my kids etc. However, it is the little comments from her and her mum. “Oh I was due a few” and “well deserved”. She has spent the last however many years not organising shit by her own choice. I have pestered her to arrange stuff but she never did. Then if I go for a night out and come home late then I get hit with “you are always out”.I also give her a long lie if she has been out whereas I’m expected to get up with the kids. Ive seen me coming in at 4am and being up with the kids at 5.30am still absolutely mangled 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
