Pet Hates........or FFS

Aos Topic search which is useless.

The rigmarole of eating.

Cooking & washing the pots every single day equates up to half a day wasted that i just could do without, not only does it drain my time big style i have little time for things i want to do..

I do it cos a] i don't like the wife cooking & b] i know my crockery will get smashed

Oh noes.....we disagree

Food is such delicious stuff that any time spent preparing it is never a waste of time. It starts for us with growing the stuff. We have no dishwasher and, once the meal is digested a bit, actually get to talk to each other some more whilst doing the washing up.

Quality time.

My day {working days}
4:00am: Up Breckki {leave the pots till i get in cos i don't have the time just now}. Jump in the shower, Dressed..
4:45am: Getting ready to go get my bus

3:00pm: home from work, tidy around, morning pots washed thinking about what's for tea
4:30pm: Music
5:30pm: getting food ready
6:30pm: shovel nosh down the neck ASAP
7:00pm: wash pots, get uniform ready for morning, pack up dinner for next day, sit down with the wife for an hour {sometimes i sneak off for a quick listern}
8:30pm: Jump in the shower
9:00pm: in bed an hour watching TV till shut eye.. 6.0 hours kip before it all starts again

If i can squeeze some casual listerning in while im at it i will do.

WORK

Wassat then?

When we did such mundane stuff as having to work for a living, it was exactly the same. In Kingston, we had an allotment and still grew our own fruit and veg. Actually had to buy meat which was a pity.

We both worked full time. Good food doesn't have to take long to prepare. We have never had a TV so music would be on most of the time and serious listening could be done later in the evening. We are one of those strange couples who actually enjoy one another's company, so spending time together sharing the 'boring' stuff is as much fun as the more exciting.

I really like my wife. It makes a whole load of difference to sharing a life together. Neither of us has a particular job to do, whoever is handy or free just gets on with it. We have given up being bugged by being called Tom and Barbara but gumboots are the order of the day.

Mind you, as you say, I do wonder how we used to fit it all in AND work. Managed it somehow.

The only time anybody gets a proper meal here is when I cook it!

The wife can't even heat baked beans properly. Hopeless. The daughter runs a catering company and even she can't cook properly. Amazing!

S'wat gets my goat, everything is down to me.

That's being a bloke for you.

Most of the women I know are too busy looking in a mirror, shopping for clothes or watching telly to do anything useful.

(I do know the odd exception)
