@wild edges your wife is clearly out of practice too. Maybe you should take her shopping more often....
Oh god no. Apart from breaking things she's also horrible company while shopping. She's got a two shop tolerance limit and even then she'll be getting annoyed by the second one. Garden centres and bakeries seem to be the only exceptions.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I know how she feesl @wild edges as I have a similar low tolerance. I need to know what I'm looking for and have a fair idea of where to find it and need the staff to know what they're about or I'm out if there. Unless I'm after a particular item for gardening or sewing my limit is 3 shops then home, regardless.

I like my really basic iron with nothing fancy about it at all. If I need a steam function I use a £1.50 sprayer from Wilko. I can’t say I love ironing but I also iron almost everything - underwear, flannels, cleaning cloths etc.
I also like shopping and enjoy rootling around antique shops, IKEA, John Lewis, art galleries, charity shops etc. A slow wander round a new supermarket pleases me and an expedition to a foreign hypermarket is bliss.

@wild edges can you create an extract of your missus that I can put into the tea of my missus please. Despite the fact that there are only about 3 shops still open in our town centre, she can spend 2 hours there every time we go in. She would go in every day given the opportunity.
Supposed to have hospital appointment tomorrow a.m. but got a call today - staff shortages (my heart sank) but do you mind next Tues? Whew. Actually I don't mind too much cos it's MOT day and the logistics of delivering car, getting courtesy car and reaching the hospital in time was a worry esp. since I've never been to this dept before. Next week will be a straight run.

But how much does she hate you @punkdoc ?

Life's far too short to bother with those.
