Husband for sale

[EcclesCake]

Having spent most of yesterday in the kitchen I really couldn't be bothered to cook, OH suggested getting a takeaway.

Found menu, read through it made my choices and carefully marked menu. Handed it to him to make his choice.

Off he toddles to takeaway and returns 30 minutes later.

He returns with exactly what I requested and nothing more. What are you having I asked? His reply - 'yeah, I did wonder about that'.

He really couldn't understand why I was so p'd off at having to share my dinner with him.

Any takers?

Absolutely definitely not, no, never, not in a month of Sundays.

The house rule is whoever cooks, the other washes up. I am quite abstemious with the use of utensils he can use 13 wooden spoons, 3 saucepans, 2 measuring jugs, 4 knives, 3 teaspoons, 4 chopping boards, 6 plates, 2 cups, 1 watering can, 1 mixing bowl, another chopping board to make a sandwich.

I don't get blokes who refuse to cook or say they can't cook either. gawd knows what they would do if they ever had to look after themselves. in this house If I don't cook then I don't eat. (and takeaways every night would soon skint me right out!)

My OH isn't of the won't cook variety, he's "can't cook, will cook", his idea of flavouring food is salt and pepper, he then gets huffy if I add other stuff to my plate, God bless sweet chilli sauce, I am apparently unappreciative of his efforts.
When he got very early retirement, I used to come home from the chalkface to be regaled with tales of the delicious meals cooked on TV. When asked What's for dinner, the usual answer was sausage casserole, this culinary delight could take 2 hours, many Becks and still be tasteless.

If he was that bright he would have known to order his own dinner in the takeaway last night.......

Eccles, I think we have the same husband.

Mine was on a no food on Wednesday for a hospital test on Thursday. Gets him home in the afternoon, asked him what he fancied for his dinner.
Me thinking of something nice for the poor guy, all sympathetic and all.
Him "anything, providing it's not burnt"
He had a salad.........

Alba - a perfect example of "be careful what you wish for".

[albaqwerty]

I put it down to the effects of the sedation.

I ignore him the other 364 days :)

[Barmaid]

I'm waiting for mine to peel his backside off the sofa and help me lift a bag of compost out of the car. Then I am going in the polytunnel for the afternoon with my wine and my plants. Bliss.............

[EcclesCake]

Alba, has he finished pulling pieces of cucumber out of his ears yet?

[ricky2525]

Would a fiver cover it ? !

[albaqwerty]

I did try once to give mine away for free, that didn't work either :(

[EcclesCake]

For a fiver I'll deliver!

I've had a really good laugh at these posts - I remember a time with OHmk1. I had a really bad headache and he, being the caring husband he was, said' why don't you make me a pan of chips and take your mind of it'
I often wonder why he was mk1

OH mk2 - ex chief cook RN - brilliant cook having cooked for sailors officers and famous people - cleans irons mends etc etc etc and makes me laugh!! whatever did I see in him - we celebrate 27 years on Thursday
