If anyone has one in quite good condition,that they wish to get rid of, I'm willing to try them out.
The only conditions are
1. They must be housetrained
2. Can cook
3. It is on a sale or return basis.

I have been known to ask the 'wrong husband' his opinion on what he would like for dinner or which wine to buy. They are usually quite friendly and often more helpful than DH.

I NEVER go food shopping with DH or any other shopping if I can possibly avoid it unless we're on holiday. He just wanders off and is hopeless at finding things we need. But he does pay which is a bonus, because he finds stuff HE wants very easily. Bless him

Slightly off topic. We had loaded the car after shopping. I had got in and DH was taking the trolley back. I then watched in the rear view as he passed my car and attempted to get into the one three cars away which although it was a silver hatch it wasn't even the same make as mine. tbuhmm

At a party years ago at my house, I introduced a couple to my husband [who was looming behind me]. Only it wasn't him! His amazed face when I introduced him as my husband, will stay with me forever.
On another note,narrowboatnan the high price of comics.... I bought a Beano recently for DGS 1 , couldn't see a price on it until it was through the till, it was £2, unbelievable. tbushock I used to buy the Beano for DS when he was young, and they only cost pocket change [he had one every week.]

Not long after we were married I had gone out with some girlfriends and arranged for DH to pick me up. I came out of the restaurant and saw him so started walking towards him, only for him to walk straight past me and head for the restaurant! He was 22 at the time (he was lucky to make it to 23!)

Its not only you narrowboatnan who makes mistakes like that,a few weeks ago in Morrisons I parked my car and hubby sauntered off towards the prom with Poppy to give her some excercise and said he will come back in and meet me in about 20mins after he had put her back in the car,I was through the till and 45mins later when I saw him again his excuse was he had forgotton I had changed my usual coat and put on a jacket and he had given up trying to find me !! he had approached 2/3 blonde haired ladies from the rear and made a fool of himself by popping some goodies into their trollies only to then realise it was not me,I was wearing a bright pink jacket so really he had no excuse hmm

I would like to share with you today's Senior Moment. There we were, DH and I, trolling around Asda, him with the trolley and me browsing the shelves. I had stopped to choose a couple of comics ready for visiting grandchildren (they're coming on Monday), made my selection and headed off to the vegetable aisles to find him. I put the comics in the trolley and explained to him that I'd got a Thomas the Tank Engine comic for DGS and a Princess comic with free pretty necklace for DGD. Then I looked up. Ooops! Wrong husband! Well, one white haired bearded gentleman looks very much like another, don't they?? This chap's wife said that I could have him if I wanted, but assured me that I'd soon send him back! They weren't even wearing similar clothes - my DH had a black jacket on and this other chap was wearing a blue check shirt! Goes to show how much notice I take of what he's wearing, doesn't it?? Oh dear me!
