If you really love her....

[Stacey Steve]

Some years ago I had a heart attack and had to go to rehab classes afterwards.

Some interesting facts came to light about how to keep a healthy heart

Women live longer than men.

Housework is good exercise.

Ergo, women live longer than men because they usually do the housework.

So I thought how could I in all faith deprive OH of the chance of a long and healthy life?

So gents if you love her, don't offer to do any house work at all. She may be feeling ill but think it through, be kind and although you really really want to help, you may be starting her off to a decline.

However you wouldn't want to deprive her of your faithful companionship by having a bad ticker yourself.

Facts again

Walking is a good exercise

Alcohol is good for keeping a heart healthy

So she has 2 benefits (being a woman & doing the house work), so only fair you should have 2 benefits as well, just for her sake you understand.

Walk the dog!

Better yet, walk the dog to the pub and back

There you are status quo!

Nice thinking Steve, I'll have a think about this when I'm driving to your neck of the woods (MK) this morning and try to come up with some witty reply

[Stacey Steve]

Ah you are travelling to the centre of the earth.

Not shopping I hope. If you are remember to rope yourself to whoever you with, as it can get quite busy.

But Steve, if we're talking statistics... the person most likely to murder you is your partner! I'd recommend caution on the housework point

[squashysu]

well just shows that i will live for a very long long long time!! as my OH does absolutely nothing!!!

right, now going to do more washing, clean the house all over, do more uni work and look after 3 kids and a cat, 3 guinea pigs, etc etc

[HayleyB]

Squashy maybe you and me both will be still on this forum in our 100s then

Stacey Steve - Take heed Seahorses warning, the Grand Union is a pretty cold canal

[Stacey Steve]

Good Grief bit tetchy around here, only what the nurses told me. Can someone please iron me a shirt? There, bet that makes you feel a lot better.

And as women do tend to be way more devious than men, we'd be more likely to get away with it too.

NO, but i know where i would like to put the iron!!!!!

Well i spent from 9.30 3pm cleaning this house top to bottom and all the washing etc and sorting, it is immaculate and i know it will last - 1 hr!!! infact even while i speak it is being destructed by all and sundry!!!

So long live me and my damn housework!!! LOL!!! and Hayley, i will be speaking to you in 60 years then lol!

[Stacey Steve]

OK, Squashysu, just noticed that you are a little to near for comfort. I admit defeat.

Have no need to stand at A&E for hours and then explaining what I need removing.

Will just go off and hang the washing if you will excuse me. Thank you.

I know statistics show that women live longer than men on average; but have you ever wondered - seeing that we do the housework and stuff - that maybe it just seems like that...?

ha ha ha !! i am only 20 mins away from you lol!!! could even be closer and that way the iron could still stay quite hot!! lol!!!!

Mind you, i think i may use the iron in this house on the man who does nothing lol!

I too have washing, come on down and hang mine out for me lol! please, it will make you healthy!!!!

[Stacey Steve]

No time, no time.

I thought Sunday was a day of rest. So far, walked dog, Took down a large computer desk, broken down and baled up loads of cardboard boxes (where the hell they all came from Lord only knows). Loaded up car and been down the dump. Called into Tesco, went to B&Q bought draw runners, quadrant, bricks and 8 bags of 20mm gravel. Filled hole in front of house where a tree was taken out. Wire brushed and painted the base of the greenhouse I was given. Dismantled 2 shelving units and lugged down stairs.

Still all I've got to do now is find the tarps for the market stall and the fittings, put these on the car. Go through all my stock and crate up. Repair girl child's chests of draws (how did she manage to push through the drawer bases of 12 drawers I don't know), move her wardrobe and bed to opposite sides of bedroom (why?) and probably have to do emergency run to Argos for things for her bedroom (that's par for coarse).

Other than that, I can pretty much laze around, so I'll forgo the experience of driving over to Dunstable to hang out washing (good drying day mind).

Oops sorry, iron still be hot, better be polite then.

Thank you

[BrideXIII]

touché we will let you off...........today anyway
