You Just Can't Win!
« on: October 16, 2006, 14:03:54 »
It's Joannes (SWMBO) birthday today.

So I got 'Small-Child' up this morning & let her have a bit of a lie-in (till 07:15), got into trouble for letting her over-sleep

Took 'Small-Child' to school, got into trouble for forgetting her PE kit-bag


Went to B&Q for something, called back at Sainsburys for one of those Thorntons chocolate/toffee cakes for after tea.
Doubtless I'll get into trouble & get the usual;
"Don't You Know I'm On A Diet!!"


Like I said, you just can't win




I also got into trouble for telling her I wanted absolutely nothing for my birthday next week :roll:
(unless she's bought me a Griffith, or a 101FC :wink: )

Don't worry BTM - you can never please 'em.  :wink:  They're all the same.

I spend so much time in the dog house I've redecorated it and had satellite TV fitted.  :lol:

[RANT]
I'm in it again actually.  It turns out that it's my fault that an event on Sunday that was due to start at 1400, did not start until 1445.  I had no involvement in the planning, or the schedule of events (one of the teams was stuck in traffic with road works it turns out) - but hey, I get more grief than the organisers did!  :shock:
[/RANT]

When we do good things - we're after something (or did not do it good enough), when we make mistakes, they will never be forgotten.  Ever.

And the list goes on......

This week we have had Sarah's long time friend staying with us. Happens to be a tad attractive (not that that has any bearing on this, you understand  :lol: ) I am getting accused of paying more attention to her than Sarah...... ME???? Well, actually it's probably true  :oops:  :oops:

So maybe sometimes the gripes are founded!

But you are right. Bought flowers the other week. For no reason. Don't do it often. Just decided it would be a good idea. "What do you want?" was the reception .... excuse me? do have to want something?  :shock:

This is a transcript of a conversation between a man and his partner upon returning from work after working hard for 12 hours to pay the bills etc.

Man:- Hi honey I'm home.
Woman:- YES I CAN SEE THAT!!!!
Man:- Everything ok dear.
Woman:- FINE!!!!
Man:- What’s the problem?
Woman:- NOTHING!!!
Man:- There is clearly something wrong.
Woman:- WELL IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAN THERE IS NO POINT IN TELLING YOU.
Man:- With the greatest of respect my darling if I don't know then there is every point in telling me.
Woman:- THATS JUST TYPICAL OF YOU, NOT A CLUE HAVE YOU?
Man:- No
Woman:- WELL I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU, IT DOSEN'T MATTER ANY WAY!!!
Man:- Ok, what’s for tea.
Woman:- TYPICAL, ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IS YOUR BELLY.
Man:- Ok my love I will go and get a takeaway.
Woman:- IS MY FOOD NOT GOOD ENOUGH THEN
Man:- Your food is lovely, we can eat when you are ready.
Woman:- JUST LIKE YOU, PROMISE TO TAKE ME OUT FOR A MEAL AND THEN WHEN I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.
Man:- I give up.
At this point the man starts to walk into the other room to see if he can get some kind of clue why this all started
Woman:- THAT IT JUST WALK AWAY, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME DO YOU.
This can go on for hours and you will never get to find out what started it so why bother going home after work just go down the pub and then when you get home you will know what the problem is "you have been down the pub" but you just won't give a monkeys and you can then fall into your chair and start snoring.

Q. Why does it take three women with PMT to change one lightbulb?

A. IT JUST DOES OK, DON'T ASK BLOODY STUPID QUESTIONS. IF I WAITED FOR THE MAN OF THE HOUSE TO CHANGE THE BULB I WOULD BE SITTING IN DARKNESS FOR DAYS. THEN WHEN HE DID CHANGE IT HE WOULD LEAVE THE OLD BULB JUST LYING AROUND FO ME TO TREAD ON. And on. And on.
