    Yes, you got me there!

    That level of vanity is somewhat disturbing, I agree.

    Thank you for the flattery there (I think) but we've both got the t-shirts on that one and are now just bezzie mates.

    My ex (baby's father) was his best friend, which put paid to any repeat performance.

    I like to keep things as complicated as possible, keeps me on my toes.

    I think I'm getting the good deal, plumbers are flipping expensive.

    I must admit I do prefer a bloke who uses a bit of soap now and again and is more interested in the pub. Old fashioned like.

    - I try to mop the kitchen floor and just get big soapy footprints all over the kitchen
    - I try to do the vacuuming and end up with the cat's rubber ball stuck in the vacuum cleaner

    It's a good job there's a woman in my house.
    I think I can see what the issue is here.

    It's not that you're a man.




    It's that you're a moron.

    Dunno how I landed it, but I have to do it every couple of months. It's quite satisfying actually.
