The housework fairy does a brill job in this household, the sock fairy, the pant fairy, and now the pond fairy, my dad absolutely loves it, he goes down the every day and just sits quietly.
I was laughing my head off after that conversation with him, I thought it was like one of those jokes that would just go on and on.
Definitely Job, but what a lovely lot of comforters we have here.

That made me laugh KEF! , i just dont know what planet hes on most of the time, true to form with is aim though seeing as he couldnt get a sandwich through a window!
Lyn, im sorry, that did make me chuckle, i think if we are honest most of us have zoned out and done what your dad did
Just had a quick read back a couple of pages as missed most of this thread.
KEF, a good point well made.....sometimes we can be too trusting and do need to be careful
Lily, I'm glad your friend is home and fingers crossed her health continues ti improve and she makes a full recovery.
Lyn, your post could have been me and my OH on a daily basis...usually when I'm trying to communicate and he is on the football forum - he is only 41!!! Seriously though, it must be so hard when parents get older, I'm not there yet and I'm dreading it already
OL you will cope, because you have too. I was very lucky that we had the chance to build the extension onto my parents bungalow 4 years ago when they were both quite fit. We have all gradually grown into it and its all now very well accepted.
We all jog along nicely at the moment, hopefully it will stay like this till the end.

I've just spoken to my poorly friends daughter. My friend is now in bed with Shingles. Apparently she has it quite bad, its on one side and on her face as well. And on the edge of her eyelids. I do so wish I lived nearer to help her.

Heres one from our house the other night....
Me.. why is there a slice of chicken on the BATHROOM windowsill?
Him...oh, it was from my leftover sandwich, i chucked it out the window for the fox!
Does this seem odd to anyone else, or is it just me???? Im obviously just the housekeeper here! Grrrrr
Lyn are you a descendent of Job ?
Lyn - sorry I had to laugh. Not at you or your Dad bless him,but myself. That could easily have been Mrs F talking to me while I'm on this laptop
Bekkie - your OH sounds like my 15 year old daughter. I'm sure she thinks the housework fairies take care of everything
Bekkie give it a rinse under the tap add some chilli sauce and put it in tomorrow's lunch..waste not want not
