Oh dear

It's strange, I remember the twin tub and mangle of my youth. A family of six and my parents both running seperate businesses 24*7.

Now though I see some of the mummy mafia exhausted if they make a cup of tea.

I'm obviously a misogynist.

Ahem...womans opinion alert....

If your women are getting on your nerves, get them told! You get what you settle for fellas. Grow a spine and tell them "WOMAN, NO!!!"

(A word to the wise - we find that kind of arousing also!)

My brain has an uncanny knack of ruthlessly editing out useless and redundant information which leads Mrs Lucifer to continually accuse me of not listening to her. It's not true, I do listen but just don't retain the information if it's something not likely to affect me. For example, tonight Mrs Lucifer might tell me that she's going into town for lunch with a friend and for a spot of shopping afterwards on Thursday. All my brain will store is "Mrs Lucifer not in on Thursday afternoon" but she will then get offended that on Tuesday morning I can't remember where she's going, why or who with.

I got caught out last night about some supposedly important conversation (I doubt it was, otherwise I could have remembered). In a moment of frank honesty, I told her, "darling, I can remember you will be late home on Wednesday but all I can recall of the conversation is, 'blah, blah, my mother, blah, her dogs, blah, blah, late home on Wednesday'".

Now, I was not praised for being honest, quite the reverse in fact, so can anybody help me out and remind me what it was Mrs Lucifer told me she was going to do on Wednesday evening? I can then amaze her with my attentiveness later on this evening.

And I thought I was alone on this one.

When WORKING from home in my OFFICE I am doing just that, therefore just "looking after the kids for a bit" is about as relevant as if I were working on a client site i.e. it isn't.

Oh, and I post on here from client sites as well so that doesn't count.

Hang on, more nappies to change...

Get a job away 5 days a week, it works wonders.
