What have you been doing today?

[Nikkit]

I never take my hubby shopping for food. He is hopeless. If he has eaten he has no enthusiasm for helping me decide on food for the week, "I am not hungry, how can I know what to get so we eat for the next week?" 
And if he hasn't eaten the trolley gets filled with so much cr@p food that I'm flat out emptying it as we go while he's tossing it in!
Plus he complains loudly about the price of everything (sooooo embarrassing) and it just takes 17 times longer than it should.

He is very very good at unloading the car and putting the food on the bench and heading out to the shed.

Hugs to you Cookie - hope you can manage the pain. Take care of yourself.

We had an interesting speaker at Probus this morning, a lady who set up the Ronald McDonald House here in Adelaide many years ago.  Great speaker and interesting as you'd have no idea how this organisation works if you didn't know anyone who had used the facility. She invited us to pay the house a visit one day so it will certainly be on the agenda to do so.  I went to lunch afterwards with 5 of the other ladies before visiting DH - a great day.

Yup that was a good day.

It certainly was a great day Judy.

Poor us. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not sure which, my caught nerves make me limp. The pain is in my thigh mainly and then it goes numb. I saw it all on the scans and it was fully explained to me. I really appreciated it as I like to know what is wrong. This morning DH helped me shop. Never again, I would rather have pain in my leg. Then he dropped the bocconcinni when we were putting it away. He is not a good shopper.
Take care BZB.

At least yours doesn't trolley surf down the aisles. At 40 something and 6'4" tall, it's not a good look!

Poor you cookie. Fingers crossed it settles for you. Can heat packs or ice packs offer some relief?

[Cornish Cream]

I'd like to witness that Kimmy LOL

My DH is a pain grocery shopping too.

[Kimmyh]

I think it's a secret conspiracy CC. If they are a pain we won't ask them to come again. Maybe they are more clever than we give them credit for??

I had a chuckle about your DH's Nikkit and Kimmy. I usually shop without mine too but he had to "help" this time. He also complains loudly about the prices, thank goodness he doesn't trolley surf. He is another one who helps carry the food in, takes it out of the bags and puts it on the bench and then disappears to the shed. Oh well, they give us a chuckle.

Today I went and paid a couple of bills at the Post Office, then had lovely visitors this afternoon.

Lol Nikkit and kimmy 

[obbie]

love it Nikkit and Kimmy.

Well, My DH is fabulous.

He is going shopping  this afternoon, he buys whats on special, everything on the list, and what ever I ring him for.
I love staying home cooking, while he shops.

He takes DS to soccer, then goes shopping.
He is also good at cleaning, mopping ect.  I found out he can iron  as well. we call him  "The Cleaning Fairy"
 

[Emme]

Your lucky Obbie 

Cookie, hugs , I  know how painful it can be 

I definitely prefer to shop on my own.  On the odd occasion I have been shopping with DH I have lost him.  I am so use to shopping on my own I forgot he was with me and walked off.  Then when I remembered him had to go and find him, took twice as long to get the shopping done. 

[mab19]

How lucky are you obbie.

My DH doesn't do any housework other than dry the dishes but he nearly always goes shopping with me and he is not too bad.  He will occasionally disappear with the trolley and as he is short like me he is a bit hard to find him.   He always loads and unloads the car for me so I can't complain too much.

I dared DH to take me for a ride in a shopping trolley one night after we had been out for dinner with some friends we had met whilst on holidays.  I didn't think he would do it as he is so quiet and reserved but sure enough he helped me in and off we went.  We still laugh about it.

You little devil Margaret  

[judydawn]

Very funny Margaret, that would have made a nice snap shot to show the grandchildren.

I lost DH and DD in K-Mart when he first came on the scene so I got staff to put out a call 'will Geoff & Jo please come to the front desk to meet their Mother'.  Next minute they came out of somewhere with the biggest smiles on their faces 

[cookie1]

Mab and Judy I have just had a lovely chuckle. DH is very good and vacuums and will cook, iron or whatever I ask him to do. He just doesn't shop very well.  ;)I kept working 12 months longer than he did and he did all the home jobs. It was lovely. It made working so much easier, however when I retired he celebrated and declared he wasn't cooking anymore unless it was necessary.
