Yes, was watching CNN the other day and they had some hysterical woman on who stopped just short of demanding that Trump be dragged out of the White House and shot in the street.Quote:

Phonetic - that’s a good word. So is ‘banana’.

Haha - well, you've seen me, and also the size of Del. so do you honestly think I'd fit into her knickers?:eek::D Not even her super-stretchy Sloggies with Lycra!:lol:Quote:

Quite right too, nobody likes a nag :doh:Quote:

Heh-heh... Not a slow leaner, but determined to 'train' a messy wee pup! Plus, it's me who hoovers, dusts and tidies up the house, and I'm not having her newly decorated dressing room (as requested by her and designed to the detail of how she wanted it, at not inconsiderable cost), turning into a midden...:nono:;)

I find mentioning bonfires whilst looking at any disorder works.Quote:

As a parent of two teenage girls I feel qualified to say you're on a hiding to nothing, I'd just go along with it.Quote:

Washed the car earlier and now I have a ice cube

The roof is a sheet of ice :eek:
I'll be really interested to see how that plays out - Marco, updates please, as and when :)Quote:

Im sure you have lots of annoying habits to her... maybe being "perfect" is one:D
My prediction is that after reading these posts, which she probably does every time you go off for your hourly "comfort break" (dump), she'll ramp up the Marco-baiting. Probably starting with piling up crap on the window cill so you can see it from outside :)
Edit: And using the curtain pole as an extra hanging rail
Hahaha... I'm far from perfect, mate! The only thing that's perfect is the remarkably consistent length and firmness of my 'stools':DQuote:

Ha - now THAT would really put the tin lid on it... However, I know she won't do that, as it might damage her spangly lights.Quote:

In all seriousness though, I'll defo consider the 'Marco-baiting' angle, as I didn't think of that, dunno why. Anyway, ta!:thumbsup:
Marco.
Too cold to go out today, so spent the afternoon hanging up some heavy lined velvet curtains. In taking down the old curtains, I realised the windows could do with a good clean, so that was done as well. Afterwards dusted and cleaned up the room.
We certainly know how to have a good time here! :lol:
You forgot to add that all the time Happy was dressed as a French Maid and you were sat in your smoking jacket and Farah slacks, pointing out up high where she'd missed!:D
That paints a slightly more interesting picture....:eyebrows:;)

I think I’ve seen that video.Quote:

Unsurprisingly, as a Portsmouth Man, I used to be tour guide on H.M.S. Victory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Trafalgar
29-0 to the English in 1805 against the combined French and Spanish fleet. Good result. :)
All went horribly wrong subsequently. Awful storm blew up later and killed nearly everybody.
The man who came out of it with credit was not Lord Nelson. It was a Frenchman, Captain Lucas of the Redoutable. Suffered from Captaining a 3 decker against the 3.5 deckers of the Victory and the Temeraire. A close run thing.

The rest, her actual clothes, are ok, so different rules must apply there:hmm:Quote:

Have you thought of “accidentally” standing on a discarded shoe and damaging it? Add in some “Ow, ow, ow, I’ve hurt my foot” noises for maximum effect.Quote:

The biggest problem though is tights, especially as it's winter and she wears them nearly every day.
When she tries a pair on with a skirt or dress and decides that they're not quite the right shade, or horror of horror, there's a run in them, instead of either chucking them away or folding them back neatly where they go (she's got drawers with separate little boxes/dividers, where all her socks, tights and knickers are supposed to be stored neatly in colour order), they're just abandoned either on the floor or on the bed, often scrunched up in balls...
Then she moans when she can't find anything - and asks me if I've seen it!!:lol: Can't win, mate... I think Geoff's got the right idea, I could always burn all her tights and force her to go barelegged - now *THAT* would teach her!!;)
Marco.
Lol - no I think it's a girly thing, rather than teenage. Del's in her early forties (although she looks and sounds younger), but has been the same, in that respect, since I've known her. I think the biggest problem is she's become too accustomed to me tidying up after her, and now considers that as the norm.Quote:
