Its Unanimous !

Comment Published at 22:4522:4519 comments19 comments59 Visits59 VisitsReport

So, Its unanimous- we don't iron tea towels,which is good because it will leave more time for the socks !   I had real trouble with the socks yesterday. I thought that because I have big feet, and therefore kingsize socks, that the pointy part of the iron would go in easily without the stern getting snagged in the heel !  Wrong !  I have so much to learn, but I'm getting there.  At least I'm improving my culinary capabilities. Last night was chicken stir fry, and I knew before i started that we needed a new wok ! So theres positives in everything ! The shopping went off without a hitch, but it reminded me of an incident in Canada when I fancied a meat pie for lunch. I asked at the shop assistant what flavours they had in their pies and was told "apple" or "peach" ! -  strange people these Canadians, no wonder half the women marry a Frenchman ! They do have vegemite there. I know because I lugged it all the way and in the two days we had with Jess, most of it had disappeared.

Pleased to report that Janice seems to have made some progress. Not much, but enough to be able to check the shopping bill to see if there was any food with the wine. I guess it depends on your definition of food. Nowhere does it say that it must be solid !

Hope you will all excuse my lack of personal responses to your comments, but as most had references to your undies, I thought I'd better not go there!   well, you know what I mean !   

So now its nearly a meal time again !  Strange how fast they appear when you have to prepare them, not just eat them ! Must be a message there, so will go and think about it.

Thanks again for everything,

Steve xxx

Re: Its Unanimous !

You are such a wonderful husband.  I don't iron anything - especially not socks!  That is one job I hate.  I even made my husband iron his own when we both worked in offices.  Food is a good idea though - I must agree with Janice there.  I am glad she is a little better - even if  it is just enough to keep you in line - lol

Re: Its Unanimous !

I am sure once Janice is up on her feet and running around again, she will be taking great care of you... I think you are doing a marvelous job, as I am sure she is too.. Then again, who knows what is really happening... :) 

Hope she gets back up on her feet, and the both of you will need another vacation after this I am sure...  Maybe a little closer to home this time with out any sick people on planes...

Love you both...  Giving you all the good vibes I can muster up.... And MMMMMM Meat Pie... First thing on my list of things to eat when we eventually get back there...

xxxxxxxx

Re: Its Unanimous !

Dear Steve....I feel honour bound to harrass you.  All these lovely Ladies hanging on your every word and so delighted with your sense of humour and writing skills might somehow cause an adverse reaction that Dear Janice will have to cope with...besides if indeed your ego does enlarge it would totally put off your balance and make the next round of golf rather difficult.  I know the Ladies are so very proud of you stepping in and taking over the house for Janice to relax and recover.  I know that the attempts to cook, clean and even iron are done and reflect the love that is so sweet. But still,I know that Janice will be back at it soon and I must do my part to make the transition back to her domain less painful for her. I know it will be so tough for you to lay your newfound skills aside but what must be ...must be!!!  Hope todays harrassment is enough...if not I will muster up more!!! It's a tough job but some one has to do it!!!   Hugs to our Fair Lady and hope she is feeling better!

Hi Steve,

I am glad to hear that mum is feeling so much better as she deserves a break . .

As for your housework skills, it just goes to show that one is never to old to learn new tricks. I do admit however to never ironing a pair of socks . . . Tell mum that if she keeps stirring you over your housework skills then you will over starch her underwear!!!!

Anytime you both feel like some R&R and some old fashioned spoiling you know I have a spare rumpus room with your names on it . . . Remember Steve to take care of yourself too and tell mum to BEHAVE!!!

Cheers Kellz

Oh Steve you really do crack me up..   Glad to here that you didn't iron the Tea towels now as for the Socks well I wouldn't iron them either.   Just pair them up and roll them together in a ball.

Chicken stir fry, yummy you are a wiz in the kitchen....  What next?  you will have to save some so we can come over and sample it all...  With the wine of course!

So glad to hear that Janice is improving lets hope that it continues.  I hope that you are not running yourself ragged.

Take care, love to both - Angie
