Oh my word I loved this! I’d add that my OH should NOT leave the cardboard toilet roll tube on top of the bathroom bin. On TOP of the bin! And if he could not ‘watch the news’ and then rant over every item so that I haven’t a clue what’s actually on the news that would be great too! 😂

ON TOP OF THE BIN!!! This is so relatable - my entire family put banana skins on top of the food waste bucket and yes, things on bin lids - you know why? My favourite hobby is having to touch their foul litter and pop it out of sight - said no one EVER!!! X

Wow, an upgraded model that actually knows how to take the loo roll off (okay, it doesn’t make it inside the bin) but wow! Jealous 😉

😂 He’s pretty good. Does the ironing! And he would have to carry the cardboard tube down to the recycling bin in the kitchen…

Living alone I guess I ought to make some vows to myself! 😂 like don’t feel guilty for having a lie in when you can, it’s ok to iron when it’s cooler, even if that is midnight, etc. I do set myself little challenges such as how much water can I save today, I just got my bill lowered, yes I said lowered, because I’m frugal with water. I have a reading schedule and a knitting schedule and Iif others don’t like it, that’s their problem. 😊 xxx

Sorry, I’m going to be smug… V2 is pretty incredible! If I put something on the stairs to take up with me next time I go up (don’t want to do 10k steps too soon!) by the time I do go up he’s taken it up - okay it’s on the bed for me to put away, but it’s upstairs nonetheless! Result 😊

All the above plus

Don’t keep talking to me when I’m reading. It’s sooooo annoying

Use soap when you wash your hands not just water.

Don’t use the tea towel to wipe the sweat off your face. It going to be used to dry crockery that we eat off.

Don’t eat the food I put in the fridge for lunch tomorrow then deny doing it. Have we got an elf living in the fridge eating all the cheese.

Don’t…. Oh I need to stop 🛑

My hubby is the worse for this, no matter how many times I’ve told him he still interrupts. It’s a wonder he’s still breathing really 😂

Oh! And if you wash the dishes “for me” - have the good grace to finish the job and dry them and put them away. Leaving them on the drainer isn’t doing the full job! 😂

I needed this, this morning when it’s my day off and I’ve had to get up at crack of dawn because the dog has decided he needs a wee and then the child who won’t surface and has to be pulled from his bed during the week when we have no time at all is also up at the crack of dawn !!! And all the while he is still soundly and peacefully in bed asleep!

Funny you bring up marriage vows as it will be my first year married on the 30th how the time has flown !

I hope you have a fantastic paaarrttyy!!

A good few of those I'd pinch! As well as Wash the dishes, don't just expect them to magically clean themselves!

And I can't wait! One week and counting!!

GREAT😄🤣😂😅

It is HOT here too - triple digit all month and no rain in sight. It makes me quite testy.

My husband is actually pretty good. I must admit much better around the house than I am. The main thing I would change is that he never throws anything away. He has an old tin can that I just know was his mother’s that he keeps old grease in and leaves it on the counter. And food. I hate to get started. I find things in the fridge that I know have been there six months at least. It can be turning green and he will take it out with the intention of eating it.

Yesterday he spent hours in the heat in his shop hanging out OLD and HEAVY plasma tv up on the wall so he can have tv when he’s out working in the heat. I can be in the sun and heat for five minutes and completely melt.

Thankfully we don’t have stairs because I could fall down those with nothing left on them.

Enjoy your PAAARTY!!! and try to stay cool 🧡

Laughing at your husband's fridge habit - maybe he's growing Penicillin?

Well he probably needs it to counteract what he’s eaten

The dishwasher one resonates really well with me, just load it properly, it’s not rocket science. 😂

Though shalt not leave socks lying RIGHT NEXT to the laundry bin. What’s that even about? Just lift the sodding lid and stick em right in.

And DO NOT rearrange the dishwasher to

make the cleaning process “more efficient”.

Please DO NOT bulk buy loo roll, noodles, men toiletries etc any more “because they’re a bargain”. The kids have left home and we don’t have the storage for the equivalent of Boots the Chemist every time you see a bargain.

Phew! Better out than in everyone.

Happy Saturday x x x

Oh my word, i just loved this one Mandy xx so true in our house too xx if there is nothing at the bottom of our stairs I’m astounded lol. In our kitchen when my husband had dried the dishes he just leaves the T towel in a pile and doesn’t hang it back up in its place that gets me mad. LOL Enjoy your party, have a wonderful time XX
