Have you seen how dangerous it is out there - that and I couldn't keep up with mine - but that's probably due to one of the others weighing me down in the seat at the back of my bike!:rolleyes:


Daz - to be honest I think AJ's list is more than reasonable - I've have included ironing, shopping, gardening and decorating at least on mine;)

You can't be serious. My wife has always told me that women are genetically programmed to be incapable of gardening. And washing cars.

Washing cars , whats that then, isn't that where I drive to a place with a man and bucket of soapy water;)

I work with someone who claims she doesn't know how to put fuel in her car! She was panicking the other week because she was nearly out of fuel and had to drive 20 miles home!

Well if I run out it's his fault so he can come and sort it.

Nah, it just means it's time to change it... :)

i thought the ladies would be straight on to back AJ up :(
i mean for christ sakes ive just rang the garage up and its not done till 4.oo
guess what time ive to pick laddo up from school with his mates , yeah 4.00
me heads gone.:confused:

okay i will admit there is a lot of shuffling to do in a wife or partners morning but this is crazy

ive got to peg washin out later
get dinner
bit of cleaning up
the list goes on , will i get a pint later i think not
amanda is away for 4 days , longest she as ever been away.

anyway ladies 2 days and i will have it simplified
JJ stop moaning you know its not that hard, sophie does loads:rolleyes:
emmilou i could handle 3 no probs

im sure emily will back me up
you ladies just do it complicated

at least i havnt got to perform for 4 days :)
lets face it ladies thats hard for a guy , having to come up with novelty ideas in the bedroom department constantly year in year out , women are so demanding of a man.
we could crack up under the pressure but no we take it in our stride
i rest my case

no doubt that will inspire some snipey comments :rolleyes:

Not so, saw my wife off at 6.30am this morning to go on a conference in Germany until Saturday night. We men do get used to it, this is her 5th conference in 3 years, leaving me to organise the three kids to school, etc.
Okay, I admit it, I take the days as holiday from work which gives me 6 hours to myself each day. 2 hours housework then off out!;)

Ok, I'm starting to realise that there 'might' be a few competent blokes out there.

Poor daz, have you got to get up and do it all again today? :eek:

nope ive simplified matters

my lad stopped at my mums last night :)
washing was delivered to AJs mums :)
its just a matter of a man putting his touch to matters

day off tommorow and ive strict instructions to go into nottingham and get the lad some new school shoes
oh there just happens to be a camping shop nearby :rolleyes:

:eek: daz i am shocked you have given in so soon and farmed out all the tasks!

but I don't blame you :D RESOURCEFUL!

Wish I could... parents live 100 miles away though, so it would be a bit of a commute to school for them;)
However the sun is shining, and I am off work..... time to go for a run me thinks!

Well, the SO gets back tonight at about 11pm from Germany, and I have managed not to destroy the house. Done many jobs that I have been putting off, and even playing host to 2 friends of my daughters for tea (5 kids in a sitting tonight!) To end the day, a DVD while ironing tonight before she gets in!:D

yep im okay as well
and its funny but ive done lots more housework than usual, cooked more, even painted the stair wall
and managed to run 42miles , mind i had friday off so a bit more time
but no race this weekend
would have liked to watch the 3 peaks but cannot so gonna take my mileage up to 50miles, it must be difficult with more than 1 child and also mine is nearly 15 so is quite independant.

these people that loll about all day moaning about how hard life is really wind me up

I agree, I have done those obscure jobs which you put off and other things, such as fixing the strimmer and doing the lawn, plus all the long grass in the back street for 20 feet either way.:eek:
