printer Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 9 minutes ago, Salt n Vinegar said: Last night the wind was blowing an absolute hoolie. We went to bed at the usual time, but with the racket coming from outside there was no way we were getting to sleep. (Wait for it, wait for it....) After about an hour, Mrs Salt and Vinegar says that there's no way she's going to get to sleep...... ..,.and says "I'm off downstairs to make a cup of tea." Women! And didn't even offer you one? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have a loaf that's slightly too big for the toaster I put up with having slightly squashed ends but all done in one toasting .

coprolite Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I often get moaned at for not doing enough of specific bits of housework; ironing being one. Came out of the shower and the jeans I wanted were unironed so I turned on the iron and ironed about a half dozen kids blouses off the clothes horse and a couple of jumpers while I had the board out. Wife comes in and snarls “I ironed earlier in the week!”, slams door, stomps downstairs. I’ll know better next time. No more ironing for me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five minutes on and the pub heat of your body works wonders. Smart shirts are the only things I iron since covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
