Four Christmases In And Dave Still....

[gness]

....hasn't copped on.
I was sweeping the kitchen floor when Dave came in. Hey! You shouldn't be doing that today, he said....It's Little Christmas!.....and left the kitchen.

Dave...on Little Christmas Day the men are supposed to do all the chores.....not just tell the women not to do them! That doesn't count. ;-)

[MissTerious2]

Ha ha.

Then for poor MrT, every day now is little Christmas Day 9 weeks so far!

[Cloverjo]

I’d never heard of that before. Just looked it up.
Is Dave Irish?

Dave has just informed me, indignantly, that he put three things in the dishwasher this morning, MissT.

Not yet, Clover. I'm still training him. :-)

[Barmaid]

You wait for the incessant sighs of "Doesn't the house/room look clean now?" after stacking three cups, removing one dusty cobweb, and hoovering the hall.

[gness]

Exactly, BM!

[Barmaid]

I do not believe I have ever said out loud in response to said sighs "What do you want? A ******* medal?". But I am not entirely convinced my thoughts have been inaudible.

[sunny-dave]

You can get a medal for *******, BM?

[MargoTester]

What really winds me up is " I've just emptied the dish washer FOR YOU" "I've just put the cleaner round FOR YOU" Don't get my wrong my OH does his fair share around the the house it's just the "for you" bit that annoys me

[MissTerious2]

I have to honest and can't complain but when I go downstairs his idea of tidying up, cobweb riddance and occasional Dusting are not mine. Dog toys everwhere. He also thinks loos are self cleaning! I can manage the loos fortunately!

[gness]

Me too, Margo. But in fairness to Dave he never says that now. I think the chase around the field with the mop cured him.

[Tilly2]

Gness, why were you sweeping the floor? You must have a vacuum... or are you saving on electricity?

[MissTerious2]

Fortunately, the 'for you' ending is very much now a thing of the past!

[Barmaid]

Yes, SD the medal is a round metal thing.......

[Tilly2]

If I ask Mr T to do a job and he does it, I always say, 'Thank you for doing that'.

Why do I do that?

[gness]

Sweep the edges and under low things before vacuuming, Tilly.
We get so many grants for electricity use here that our last bill came as quite a surprise. It was fourteen euro for two months. We're using the savings for wine and whiskey. :-)

[gness]

I say thank you too, Tilly.....god knows why.

[Tilly2]

Wow! 14 Euros?

Wine and Whiskey in abundance then.

[rowanwitch]

Dave did stuff around the house, he only did the for you thing once.... He was firmly reminded that he lived here too, and I don't ask for a round of applause every time I clean the toilet.... He said he was happy to clap if it made me feel better or he could down load some applause tracks on you tube... It's no wonder I miss him he was so funny at times

[Tilly2]

Can I ask why everyone seems to be a Muppet?
