Put it in a non-see through container with a lid, like a big yoghurt tub. (Saves the earth, too; cling wrap is just an abominable non-biodegradable waste of resources.)

Men will never ever open a sealed opaque container in the fridge to see what's in it. Even if you tell them to eat the stew in the yoghurt container for lunch, they'll "forget" and you'll find it next year ...

milk and food can go off beer can`t !!!!

At least you know that should you ever be found comatose on the kitchen floor , he will step over you to make a sandwich before ringing for an ambulance!!!

Ros that is too technical for their brains!

why do they leave empty plates in the fridge?

I lifted one out only yesterday - why if they use the last of the bacon/bread - cannot they either go to freezer and get a new pack or at least draw your attention to the fact! Why if they take wrapping off anything - clingfilm, cellophane or similar or wrapper off tub of butter and leave them on the counter top?

when i'm at work and he's at home how come he dosn't notice if milk is running out, he drinks enough of the stuff

Twiz - you are so lucky that the dog shared with you!

Dear Chris
Its a compliment to you. He knows the location of the fridge and how to make a sandwich. Well done

Why if they have a packet of crisps with a buttie for lunch - why place the mug on empty plate and STUFF the empty crisp packet in to the mug. I complain about this at least 5 times a week. Why do I love him I ask myself - he showed no sign at all of this irritating behaviour even in early days of marriage

All I can say is that this morning my little angel is running true to form! He was up with the lark and off to play golf. Not often I eat breakfast but this morning I fancied a bacon buttie. Two slices of bread left in bin (Ok enough for me - what about his lunch) checked fridge - no bacon - (he must have used it all yesterday) got packet out of freezer as well as loaf - now was that hard - well was it????? (I had a slice of toast)

Don't get me started!! My OH leaves stuff all over the worktops, never wipes them down. If he washes up he doesn't finish the job, says he hasn't seen things still on the worktop. Doesn't load or unload dishwasher if he isn't asked to, comes down for meals as they are being put on the table, now never offers to help as he is more of a hindrance in the kitchen. Can't remember the last time he cooked, he can, but does it so badly now I don't bother asking. He used to do really good roasts, which we don't have any more.
If I ask him to do a meal, he gets grumpy, prepares the veg first, despite the fact that the meat is still in the freezer. GRR. and his son is coming in a couple of weeks, so I will be cooking for three and still no help. If I don't cook he just goes out for a meal, I know it is cheap here, but not that cheap.

Rant over.

And we still love them Roz! It amazes me - still mine does have a good point or two - he has had to take over all the vacuuming and ironing for past 3 years and looks as if it is his for life!

Mine wipes the front of the worktops - not towards the back and as for lifiting anything (like cannisters or breadbin, toaster etc and wiping underneath - nahhhhhhhh - it is covered up so cant' get dirty!
