We were having a small argument this morning when OH said 'Oh, and when did you last make ME a cup of coffee?' I said 'There's one in front of you but you haven't drunk it yet because it's too hot'.

Very similar to my OH’s trips to local shop….. and he’ll always say “I’ve brought you a treat….”

that was a very expensive paper. mine still gets the papers and tend to pick it things that take his fancy. im trying to reign it in a bit as he was buying too much and i couldnt use it all so went in the bin. sometimes i will ask why he bought it and he just says i dont know.

This morning, whilst feeding my OH her breakfast & mug of tea she said "that's nice" and "I get meals delivered, you know". "Who delivers them?" I ask. "Oh" she said "the other carer" (that's me in disguise in the same clothes!). "He seems quite nice, but he's very busy you know!"
Wow, an acknowledgement.
Just then, an oldie came on the radio, and it was entirely appropriate as I have difficulty fitting in all the jobs required in the eight days of the week! Does this song apply to you too?

Oh most definitely @Chizz 🤣 at the moment ten days a week. Oh has severe diarrhoea. Waiting for lab results.
My oh thinks my day clothes are a uniform too. All carers wear the same🤣🤣

Hubby after I helped him get ready for bed - do you get all of my pension for looking after me.

Me - no but that sounds like a good idea.

Just been watching breakfast television. They were talking about invasive bamboo in gardens and the damage caused. The presenter said, jokingly, they'll have to get a panda to help get rid of it

OH: I remember doing that
Me : doing what?
OH: I got a panda for my garden!
Me: really?

Got the giggles🤣

My husband woke up this morning and instantly asked me when I was having a holiday. I wanted to say I had just had one because I hadn't had to get up to change the bed during the night. Bliss!!
