Arabdownunder Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm WFH from home today, its her day off. She's heading to the shops and asks if there's anything I want. "You could get a couple of pies for lunch" "OK what do you want?*" "Depends what he's got. Chicken & mushroom or curry" 30 minutes later "I got you steak and pepper.

scottsdad Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 My wife went for her shower this morning. As usual she put a spotify playlist on - we have a bluetooth speaker in there so you can hear it all through the house. Kelly Clarkson's Christmas songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time spent is the inverse of the value of an item. House; "Yes, this is the one" as soon as she walks in Car; 20 minutes in a couple of showrooms Shoes; Two shopping trips over a couple of weekends, every shoe shop in town, multiple conversations with pals/sisters 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I have no problem with the albums. As Christmas songs go, these are probably amongst the best. Underneath the Tree is fun and jaunty, and Glow on the new album is very, very good. The wife is welcome to use the month of December to play them on heavy rotation. But for the remaining 11 months of the year, I'd rather forget all about these. As PG Wodehouse said: Quote You know, the more I see of women, the more I think that there ought to be a law. Something has got to be done about this sex, or the whole fabric of society will collapse, and then, what silly asses we shall all look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm having to work at my Grandparents-in-laws house today so needed the car this morning. I'm only working til 1 as got a half day but we have a deadline of 1pm for some monthly accounts stuff. We're due to be in Aberdeen for 2pm. It's a 35 minute drive. My plan is to leave here at 13:01. "could you finish slightly earlier just to be sure we're in?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
