Impossible instructions

So i got to the nearest village to get some boxes to put all the books in for the internal move. None to be had. Return home and announce that I as have to go to a different dump following the previous incident I will try another supermarket further away and do the shopping at the same time.

Mrs Can you take all this (huge pile of curtains) to the dry cleaners?
Me: But I have just been to the dry cleaners in the first boxless place.
Her: Well go back there

 

Her: ANd can you put all this stuff (gestures at pile of other boxes) in the back of your car for storage while the builders are here?
Me: No
Her: Why not?
Me: Because if I do that I will have no room to put the shopping or all the other empty boxes in will I?

Silence.

And the doorbell is broken for some reason which is why I spent 15 minutes locked out of the house.

My mother would have said "We may be poor ~ but we do see life"
Thanks Nick for making my life seem almost normal.

I am sure the day holds more horrors in store yet. Ah yes, I await the "Let's put the piano in the kitchen now" order

Might go and see Growler at his swamp.
