I've been upstairs building a PC for one of my older boys, so hadn't been down. There's a Sainsbury's bag lying on the couch with a steak pie and some yogurts in it. Yet again I'm a c n u t for asking should that no be on the fridge Putting it on the fridge rather than in it would be pretty cunty, tbf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this earlier and decided not to immediately jump in but it was troubling me so much I just had to come back and bite. You’ve reported in the past how your wife likes her ‘solo’ holidays (fair enough) but 11 days away over the festive period, leaving you with the kids? She’s taking the piss…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She goes to spend time with her pals in Yorkshire, and its also a holiday for me in a way. I mean, what else would we be doing this time of year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diffrnt strokes for diffrnt folks it seems… Different strokes, with different folks... scottsdad gets plenty wanking and star trek/star wars (delete as applicable) time, and 11 days nagging free though. Good deal all round imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oystercatcher Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 We're watching controversial things 1974 . She hits out with, I remember that, that was 1979. Then 10 mins later. When was this 40-45 years ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody else's business, I suppose. Unless you post it on a forum. Personally, I can't see the motivation for doing that in this case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my mum, grandmother and aunts all saying when I was younger that there should be no housework done at all on the 1st January and all washing on airers etc should be put away so the house doesn't look untidy. I was too young to understand that back then which is just as well because I still don't understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brings back childhood memories of the house smelling of gloss and emulsion at this time of year as my mum always had a mad scramble to repaint the house in time for new year. Another of her quirks was putting on a spread for hogmanay that could feed an army despite making sure that all street facing rooms had the lights out and spending all night saying how she hopes none of the neighbours first foot us as she can't be bothered with all that . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw fkn gravy Cumin and Tarragon are never going together. Tarragon with a bit of white wine or lemon goes well with chicken but i'd prefer something a bit more citrussy than cumin if i was going for a spice; sumac ideally or maybe coriander (seed obviously). How are you doing the gravy? Do you make a roux in the roasting pan or just rely on vegetables for thickening? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw fkn gravy Slimming world is one of the worst things to happen to this country, labelling foods as good and bad is a terrible mindset to get people in. Calorie deficit is all that is needed if someone wants to lose weight, that and patience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peil Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Inability to take the car to the garage seems to be one I hadn't noticed. Knew the brakes needed doing, so just before Xmas, she was off work and I was still pottering away. Asked her to go round to the local garage to get it booked in. Much huffing and she did, a day later. She was reminded last night to drop it off around 8. "Will they be open then?" "Aye" This morning arrives, she takes the wee man to nursery and comes straight back home. Then at 8:45 starts moaning, the car needs to go to the garage but i'm meant to be in a meeting at 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
