Her mobile is, er, in her handbag. And it's switched off anyway.

Y'Know I have a feeling that given a half decent jury you could shift the blame for most of your "troubles" onto Mrs N. Is it a case of opposites attracting or like seeking like is the only question I have left about your relationship.

It's more liked "armed neutrality" noooo:

She has now got back and The Boy is back inside. SHe enquired as to why he was locked out of the house  noooo: SHe came back because she forgot to take something else vital with her. I don't know what "it" was, but I know from her evasive manner that she has no idea where "it" is. More rummaging and running about.

Ah, she has just run out of the house again and the car has whizzed off. And yes, this time she has locked us both in! Banghead

Doesn't everybody?








TBH We have two "canteens" of cutlery. Both are housed in separate trays with little dividers for each item ie One for Knives, one for Forks, One for dessert spoons, one for soup spoons etc. It really annoys me to put my hand in and withdraw a spoon instead of a fork because the kids have 'filed' them wrongly.

Not us. A place for nothing and nothing in its place. We should get Berek over to organise the place.

On second thoughts...............

Our cutlery drawer has dividers too. Forks, knives, spoons. Unfortunatly Mr Wench grew up in a house where it was spoons, forks, knives.  Banghead How long does it take to retrain?

You chaps think you have problems.

Wait until you see how dotty they get in their 60's. noooo:

It is only us keeping a roof over their heads that stops the lot of them wandering the streets with a Tesco trolley full of cats and gin bottles.

Wenchy, you have a lot to look forward to, although you won't remember that when you get there.
