You two have made me laugh at the tightening of things. I know exactely what you mean................ We have lights in the caravan that get flies in them but oh always cleans them out for me as he says I may break the glass and cut myself. |

Oh Ann, that did make me laugh!!, I expect he thinks he's being helpful!! I hope you don't disillusion him too much!! I have to bite my tongue sometimes and stop myself being a bit dismissive when OH does certain jobs!! So much quicker to do them myself!!! but then I moan if he doesn't offer to help!! He can't win really, poor old sod!!! |

I don't know why, but OH's default position when he does something wrong or has a problem is to always call ME!!!!! Yesterday he filled his car up while we were out and suddenly the car started rocking to and fro and my name was being called sharply. :-S Well he'd only gone and jammed the nozzle in the filler so tight he couldn't get it out again could he!!!! :-S It took us a few minutes of twisting and pulling to sort that out and goodness knows what we would have done if we hadn't been able to free it. Then only 5 minutes later, after we'd parked in the very windy supermarket car park and I'd set off to get a trolley while he got the bags out of the boot I heard my name shouted again. :-S :-S He'd opened the boot wide and all my (now precious!!) plastic carrier bags were being carried high and wafted in all directions by 'HENRY'. Again it was me being expected to retrieve them while he sorted something in his boot, but luckily the Polish car wash people saw what happened and chased after them. At home I still can't get some of the lids off the pickle jars as he jams them on too tight for me to get them off and we now have a porch light with a glass shade he can't unscrew because last time he put it back on too tight. I reckon we'll have to buy another fitting when the bulb goes as it's enclosed. I'm sick of looking at the bluebottle that met it's end and is upside down in it. :-S I cleaned these things out myself for years.....then he retired and we started sharing more of the jobs!!!!!!! :-S |

OH right Anne. I think 'he's' better on a pedestal. I agree with Mel, I'm not that keen on the loo, bit unnecessary! |

I think there would have been a party, cake and a present from the home Mel. No doubt there will be a small do when he hopefully goes back. OH rang the hospital before he went out and they said he is no worse and is sleeping mostly. |

The statue of ' The Thinker' is actually sitting on a stone pedestal, not a loo. I've never seen it except in pictures, but it's a significant sculpture representing philosophy and learning. |

Liz, I found a lump where the cancer was removed I rang the hospital and they saw me straight away, they took a sample of the fluid where it was and I had another mammogram but it was harmless scar .tissue It was such a relief. So I understand how you feel. |

We've just got BT back, not that we noticed as OH was out with Cas all afternoon, and I was engrossed in my book, and only realised that we hadn't got broadband when I tried to look something up! The problem was on the news so we waited till it had righted itself! |
