Everyone has likes and dislikes.
Only bloody perfect or brain dead people don't have any.
Take this morning. Jan asked me to help get the duvet into it's cover. This is something I really like doing (yeah, I know it's weird) but............. I hate doing up the poppers which keep the cover on. It's a tiresome little job when you could be more usefully employed saving the world.
Now, Jan's a very smart lady. She knows that if she dismisses me after the cover is on then I'm not grumpy for the rest of the morning (it always seems to be a morning job).
I don't mind shopping (sorry boys, I know that's a tad weird), any kind of shopping, but Jan hates putting the shopping away. I have to say that after I have spent hours driving to the shops and carefully selecting her merchandise, I find this particularly irksome but there you go. Just one of life's little burdens. (What are you talking about? - Ed)
Apply to me if you want a list of all the jobs that Alex doesn't like doing. Expect several pages!
ReplyDeleteDitto Jan.
ReplyDeleteOn the rare occasions when we put the duvet cover on together it is a race to see who can get it into the corner first. Stops us being grumpy and guess who wins?
That's scary... we race to the corners too. I thought it was just us who were "simples".
ReplyDeleteGo on Jan... we could do with a laugh... lets have that list... better put it on kindle and break it into chapters.
Would that list happen to include things like ironing, washing up, opening and closing curtains, remembering where things are kept even though one has lived in the same house for 16 years.........
ReplyDeleteJean - You guessed absolutely right! But the list goes on...............................
ReplyDeleteStirred up a bit of a hornets nest here?
ReplyDeleteThis all seems a bit one sided and I'd like to help, but ..
ReplyDeleteAlex, you're on your own .....
Yes, Ivan, best you keep quiet too!! haha! Have to say Alex, my father and brother are the only two men I know that like shopping. I DETEST it! And I detest EVEN MORE putting it away when I get home! I'm with Jan!
