Treating ironing like it's the premier pastime whilst complaining about how much of it she has to do. (See ironing towels). Leaving the ironing board up in the living room like it's a permanent fixture. Not doing any ironing during the day, then starting it when I've settled down to watch the telly. Ironing towels sounds like a pastime for people in the jail or nut house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It. Won't. Similar vein - if cooking anything that involves boiling water (Rice, eggs, tatties), Mrs Ranter seems to think the water needs to be bubbling at full pelt to cook the food. Can't get it through to her that whether it's gently simmering or bubbling furiously, it's still at 100 degrees, so no difference. The difference in how much of a mess it makes on the cooker, however... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two reasons the jag in the foot, and the knowledge that my limited rail in our walk in wardrobe will be encroached upon soon. ...and how many pairs of shoes does a woman need? 11 hours ago, Black and White Tragic said: Turning the thermostat up high in the belief that the house will heat up quicker.

Jmothecat2 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Egg shells go in the waste food bin, cartons in the recyclables bin. That's what I was thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 On the subject of texts, mine uses text to annoy me sometimes daily with requests to pop into Tesco on way home from work. This is when she's not been working all day (apart from ironing obviously) and the kids are at school. As well as shortening my evening, getting my tea later there is the fact that Tesco need paying for what's on these lists. Previous generation didn't have this annoyance. Technology is not always to the benefit of mankind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Most of them are just annoying and thoughtless.Personally, I want to know what sort of Hell world is being inhabited on Wed 19th July, when the "required" shopping items are Pot Noodles, Fruit Shoots and Capri Sun.That's a shopping basket Viz would have Tasha Slappa buying as a week's meals for her kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Instead of sending everything in one text she'll send it in 5. Then if I don respond she'll FaceTime me. FaceTime is a c**t of an invention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
