...do anything? I don't know. I just know that in the time it takes my husband to get up, showered and breakfasted in the morning I have usually loaded the dishwasher, put on the washingmachine, tidied up, made packed lunches, dressed, breakfasted, filled in various forms for various sons' schools, checked the weather forecast and emptied the bin! nell

...do a barbecue ! [gottcha lol] i got home from work at 6.30. barbie was lit. its a gas one so does not take much heating up. when i asked what we were eating he said 'chicken drumsticks and chinese pork and lamb chops and sausages'' the sausages were ok- they were in the fridge. the rest of it was frozen solid in the freezer !!! can any man on here explain the common sense factor of his male mind ???? sue [ feeling more confused than normal] ps- we finally finished eating at 8 o'clock !!!!! after having to defrost everything in the microwave , before it could be cooked!!!!!

Sue - Surely you know that men cannot 'multi-task'!! (Lighting a barby, opening a can of lager, opening a freezer door = 3 tasks) Bet he did the 2nd one ok though!! Kim x
