Lol - that's pretty much it, or as she seems to think, princesses don't clear up their own mess, that's what their servants are for!:eyebrows:

It must be a woman thing! Ursula's not that bad but she still has a tendency to leave her clothes draped over the foot of our bed, despite us having a walk-in wardrobe barely a few paces away! I daren't say anything as she instantly retorts to point out that the house is full of "your hi-fi crap" which is an argument I can't win. Consequently, when enough items get piled on the bedframe and are a bit unsteady, I push them off onto the floor and blame one of the cats...
Lol - I think it must be! Does she also 'abandon' her shoes simply where they're been removed? That's a particular per hate of mine, as heels are so easy to trip over!:rolleyes:Quote:

women usually say "if you wore high heels and tights all day you'd dump them anywhere when you got home too"Quote:

Lol - I just copied your style darling, as you carry it off so well and look simply divine!:kiss::DQuote:

And Del's the veritable 'pantyhose princess'... She literally must have 100s of pairs in different styles and colours, from crazy ones, such as red and white striped opaques (for Christmas and parties), and pink fishnets, which she wears with her Doc boots and a short(ish) black skirt, to her 'everyday' thin skin-coloured ones - so I've got plenty to choose from - if only they fitted me!!:lol:
Marco.
Lol - this is becoming too common simply to be a coincidence! Was she a take it off and 'chuck it where it lands' type, too?:DQuote:

No. It was laundry piled everywhere that was the problem.Quote:

Lol - I know... Certainly I've got no complaints about smells with Del, even from her feet, after she's taken her tights off at the end of a long day!:eek::lol:Quote:

The carelessly discarded shoes thing seems to be a common denominator... Anyone care to come in and praise their girlies for being the opposite?:DQuote:

In terms of the bit in bold, does she also have 'her' wardrobe, 'her' cupboards, 'her' drawers, etc, which she's quite private about? That was the problem we had, and the general lack of space, which is why Del wanted her own dressing room.
Marco.
It would set of my OCD to see the above cited dyslexia! ;)Quote:

I often do the washing (or rather let the machine do it) and will also do the ironing; and if the washing has included her clothes, will iron them as well and put them away in her wardrobe(s) and drawers. Happy is neither coy or 'private' about any of that. I do let her iron the bed sheets as I hate doing that.
The only time she is messy is when she cooks - it looks like a bomb has exploded in the kitchen! And since we have a house rule: "They that cook, do not wash up afterwards", means I have to clear up the mess. Since we roughly alternate cooking roles, she gets the better deal, as I clear up as I cook.
:lol: You say how neat and tidy she is, then proceed to tell us that the only thing she does is occasional cooking, when she leaves the place a complete tip :D Oh and a bit of sheet ironing. She's got you so well trained you don't even see it :ner:Quote:

My cooking is tidily done though and the washing-up is promptly dealt with.
I used to work with a guy who on the rare occasion he wore jeans, came in with them neatly pressed with a crease down the front :rolleyes:.
That's cool. I guess everyone's different. Del's always been a little private (or as you say coy) about her 'girlie things'/women's stuff (she's quite a bit younger than Happy, remember), so doesn't like me going or rummaging about where I shouldn't, as it were, not that I'd have any desire to!Quote:

Piggurs is right though, she's got you trained!:ner:;)
Marco.
She doesn't do the "occasional cooking", nor does she leave the house "a complete tip": only the kitchen. She cooks as much as I do, and will also do the laundry and ironing (and not just "a bit of" it).
You really need to learn to read posts properly. :ner:
Just assembled two three door wardrobes, you know, no veneer n all that.came in three sections, I'll sleep tonight :)
Wife and two daughters here - I hate clearing hair from the plughole of the bath, shower and rotating brush on the vacuum cleaner (I say rotating, but it regularly gets stuck with all the hair wrapped around it).
Also, I seem to be the only person in the house who can be bothered to put fresh bog roll on the holder and put the old "inners" in the bin.
No doubt they get pissed off with my failings :)

Just bought a new Hoover, vacuum, great for picking up hair, the previous Shark just got clogged up
No, our wardrobe is shared but we have our own compartments and it’s all very tidy! Although she does have a full wardrobe in one of the spare rooms, too.Quote:

I suppose it looks like an old fashioned, dare I say chauvinistic arrangement to outsiders, but it works for us. Anyway as I've said before, my cleaning/ironing doesn't meet her standards, ie I'm doing it wrong ;)
Ha - love it! Well... Del's dressing room is tidy for NOW, but your guess is as good as mine how long that will last for!Quote:

And no, sadly I don't get an invite to that:(
Marco.
Delivery of Xmas groceries from Tesco arrives tomorrow, followed by another from Asda a week later. We won't go short!
Might even be naughty and treat myself to some alcohol for the weekend, which I will no doubt regret. It disagrees with me, probably due to the meds. :rolleyes:
Still, you only live once as they say. There again, you only die once! If I go missing, you'll know what happened. :eek:
sure 1 can wont kill.. i drink whisky on top of mine :eek: ive a sainsbury one coming on monday
Just back from doing our last supermarket shopping before Christmas, and even at 7am the car parks were more than half full... Inside the shops wasn't too bad, but no doubt it'll be chaotic very soon!
So we've just got the butchers to go now, to collect the fillet of beef, for the Wellington on Xmas day, and a nice ham for New Years Day, plus pigs in blankets, sausage meat, stuffing, etc, which will happen on Wednesday - then it'll be feet up, relax, stuff ourselves and be (VERY merry)!!:christmas::drunk::santa::D
Marco.
Food wont run out this year. Hopfully they will get the lorry thing sorted.. France playing hard ball i think re brexit.. its a good excuse.. I mean lorry drivers dont even get out of their truck, so how are they going to infect anyone. just drive over and get it lifted off...
Yeah, let the others get on with it. It'll be building up to the usual chaotic pre-xmas frenzy.

Very happy
Further to the previous chat on Xmas decs, Del's been a busy wee bee again and made a garland, out of the remaining foraged items, to dress the front door and wreath:

...the stuff needed used up anyway, and I think finishes things off nicely:)
Marco.
I have visions of going to the park by you and it's completely stripped bare of all foliage.
Looks really good that though.
Lol - cheers! Yeah, you're not wrong:D
But she's mega fussy about what she wants to use or not. I just take her there, carry the tools needed, and she points at what she wants cut down, which I do, then carry it all back in a big sack! She is very creative, though:)
Marco.
Well there's one benefit from isolating and ordering everything online. I haven't had to listen to the mind-numbingly awful Christmas music the supermarkets play at you non-stop :lol:.
Now I've discovered I can live without using the supermarket I'm never going back.
