It does anooy me when Rich doesn't cook, but then I look at the housework & he does more than me & he does go shopping more than me, he also des the cat litter more than me aswell & I don't see the gardening as a chore as I enjoy a good potter about. Laundry ooops that's our downfall we do it infrequently (except socks, pants & work clothes) generally I'm happy with my lot

Don't worry ED - I was just off on a favourite rant too - I got a LOT wrong as well as the right stuff that I brag about.
And:
If she had seen what I have written there is someone who would very forcibly ask "Who's this "I" who did all this?" So please read all "I's" in previous post as "We's"
How many men does it take to change a loo roll?

Martin is very good at changing loo roll but not much good at putting the cardboard roll from the previous one into the recycling.

Cardboard inners from loo rolls make the best cat toys ever. FACT. You can keep all your catnip filled mice, because my two love having a fight with a bit of cardboard instead!!
cats are weird.

The standard answer to the question "How many men ....... etc. is "No one knows - it's never happened!"
Butterfly We have returned to "Hang it down the Front of the Roll-ism". While we had small children we were ardent "Hang it down the Back of the Roll-ists" coz a small child batting the roll round from the front re-wound it rather than unrolling it!
Frankly my dear .................... Its gone with the wind anyway!

A good tip for lighting fires. Fold cardboard loo roll inners lengthways and put inside another tube until you can't get any more in. These make excellent fire starters and work much better than kindling. They are also lighter and easier to transport than kindling.

My husband will do all the house work, cooking putting the children to bed as long as he gets rewarded...if you know what i mean Other than that he thinks we have a washing fairy that magically makes all clothes clean and returns them to the wardrobe. Jo

I will wash them, I will iron them - I will not put them away. What am I, a slave?! They all know where the wardrobes are. It's that square box that they chuck all their beautifully ironed clothes into the bottom of. I've got much more fun things to do than housework. I do the essentials, and then extras when I can't stand it any longer. My mother hates it! I have the most lovely cobweb, fat with dust, hanging over the TV which has been there for over 6 months, just to annoy her.

My mind was wandering at the begining of this reply & thought you put them on the legs of your cats to make them do a robotic walk

Totally agree - life is too short for housework.
I get all sorts of comments at the factory where I work when I talk of ironing my work shirts [ We have arranged life so that there isn't any ironing - then my boss introduces a uniform that won't tumble dry [in winter] and needs to be ironed!] But why should my wife do it, I didn't marry a drudge? And anyway - what makes people think that she can do it better than me!
