Title: Just another day packing the car
Post by: Halex on January 20, 2012, 11:05:39 am
dH comes home, looks at stuff, huffs & puffs. Says leave me alone to pack. As usual I comment would you like my help as there is still more stuff to fit in thats not in the hall, ie eskys etc.

Dh grunts, then says no. Packs car, comes in very proud of himself, car packed to the rafters his way, no spare room at all. I say wheres the food going, dh mutters, uncomprehensible. I go outside, dh huff & puffing, i suggest maybe we hire a professional, more huffs & puffs. I take a look re-pack, now have back seat empty for TM, eskys and crown Prince

DH walks inside looks confused and carries on as normal, has now dissapared, will surface shortly!!!

Ths s a typical day in our house.LOL

I have to do it all myself -  at least I know it gets done properly  ;D ;D
Hope DH settles down tonight Hally and that you all enjoy the week away.  Bring him a drink, get his slippers and stay very, very quiet Hally.

DH is ok, just have to give him 5 mins, then when he reaapears, its back to normal.

Anyway, the friends we are going away with to kalbarri, my friends mum hangs out with dh colleagues, so i said at least we are in with the young set.LOL cracked me up. His colleagues holiday with the older set. Lol

Don't worry CP63 I also get quite a bit of eye rolling as well- usually overt but sometimes covert! Also the occasional kitchen cupboard door slam as well, this normally is relieved by a decent glass of shiraz. The occasional door slam occurs when my DH sees how much stuff I have crammed  into the pantry- anything I need I can find straight away of course, he gets frustrated when he is looking for something, which could take days. I believe this is a totally normal male affliction! ;D ;D ;D

It's been lovely chatting to you this morning Hally, modern technology ;D  Never typed to anyone travelling before. I felt as though I was going away with you and you probably have enough food packed to have fed me for the week too LOL

 :) Lucky you took food from Perth Hally as the further you travel the more it seems to cost!
Have a great trip!

Too funny Hally. My DH was with QF for nearly 50 years, working in all departments including freight. He traveled widely and often and he could not pack a handkerchief in a pocket.

Nah he wound up in commercial  management. He spent a lot of time going to "meetings" which always ended up with a stopover in Thailand on the way home. LOL!

Enjoy your trip. Ain't  the iPad great?

Hally I'm so jealous - a holiday away.

Sounds like you are going to have plenty of delicious meals!   Travel safely

how bout you could try this Hally...put your book inside a plastic bag and then pop it in the freezer. Its supposed to get rid of smells. Apparently you are not supposed to wash jeans...ok it may apply to a certain brand (nudie or something), or a certain stretch - but they recommend if the jeans start to smell you pop them in the freezer. When you think about it, it is a cooking book so it should be freezer friendly as well - at least I would give it a go ;)

Arrived safely in beautiful Kalbarri.

CP its out in the  sea air atm, the smell is definetly reduced thank goodness. I coud give it a go if the sea air doesnt fix it.

We have loads of food, the fridge, freezer & cupboards are all full.

My DH and DS are both stubborn mules  :D

Neither of them will ask for help and always do things better. Never admit they are wrong, because they never are LOL.

I just go along for the ride and keep quiet. When he does get upset he usually huffs and puffs and occasionaly slams a door if he gets really angry. But I couldn't live without him. I still love him and I guess I am just as bad when I come to think about it (but I would never tell him that of course)  ;)

Have a great holiday Hally  :-*
