Niggles and smiles.

luzdoh and Gypsyqueen13

All of the above niggles have made me smile as my husband does most of the same things. With some add ons, he is incapable of shutting any cupboard door when he takes something out. Never puts anything back where it should go back to but knows where I put it back to! Has no idea that the loo seat should go back down, think that’s universal with loo rolls being replenished. Which leads me on to a theory that I’ve had for years that ‘somewhere’ there is a giant brain and all men are plugged into it because they all do the same things!!
My smile is that mine’s still around and wouldn’t change that for anything plus the sun is shining today, I’m still in bed reading this and had two cups of coffee brought up to me.

Kittylester...it’s my 6 year old granddaughter that I swear is grumpily hormonal ...her 11 year old brother is a very huggable boy! I dote in them both by the way. No niggles today as just swum 40 lengths and walked 4 miles. I stopped in the middle of road and announced to an unlistening world hiw GREAT i felt. At least I hope nobody heard me! 10, 000 steps...no probs!

Reading the post about spitting -yuk- it reminded me about how quickly brand new pavements are ruined by by white/ great blobs of chewing gum.
?Dads in the coop £1 a bunch ( though I think they should charge more and pay the pickers a decent wage)

Daffs of course!

Oh Wilma aren't they adorable? I thoroughly enjoyed that programme.

lovebeigecardigans have you watched all the Simon’s Cat cartoons on youtube?

No niggles today ( well, except I have yet another sore throat)

DH now working in the garden on something we planned ( a year ago, but what the heck.) ?

Was just thinking this Gypsyqueen13, but now always tell my friends 'treasure them whilst you've got them', but to be fair I was exactly the same, and used to moan and tell all and sundry that 'he did my head in'. Wish he still did! My smile is my 4 Grand kids ranging from 23, 16, 15 and 11, they're comical when they can be surgically removed from their phones.

Having read this thread, I think I am an exemplary H.

But would Mrs Grumppa agree?

NannyTee it was wonderful.

lemongrove I second Simon's Cat on YT. I thought all cats were like that!

Haha, well, they don’t all wake you up by whacking you on the head with a baseball bat ( fortunately)??

well, except I have yet another sore throat
Vit D, Vit C with zinc and flavonoids lemongrove

And lemons of course. PickYourOwn.

Tell Mrs Grumppa that we all think you're wonderful
Don't know what she's moaning about.

Well my niggles are two excruciatingly painful whitlows on my fingers . Wanting to cry with the throbbing pain.

Just put my house back in order after a lovely mad evening with DD and 3 GC. Priceless but shattered now haha.

Ouch!
All I can suggest is plasters with lots of Savlon medicated cream.

Thanks Jalima always wanted a lemon tree in the conservatory, so handy to slice into my g&t.????

NannyTee I have put three pints of your usual on the bar in The Argy......enjoy! They will deaden any pain.

a whole grove of them lemon!

Have you seen the price of them Jalima ?! It will be one only ( if I’m lucky.) ? but it may produce a lot of fruit,
( to go with my lot of gin.)

Somebody in this house insists on opening obvious junk mail, reading it out loud when somebody else is trying to concentrate (on Gransnet), then putting it neatly back in the envelope and down onto the nearest surface, where it could stay forever, instead of whizzing it straight into the recycling.

But the good news is, my February GN Book Club book has arrived!

Someone in this house follows me round, saying 'you have a letter from 'junk so and so', then, when getting no response, files it in my in tray (where it could stay for weeks!)
Ditto with important mail too

This! Bottom one is (was) my favorite knife from my Sabatier knife set which OH used instead of a screwdriver. He was told off and reminded about the boxes of tools in the garage (and the little screwdriver I keep indoors). The top one is the replacement knife. It took me some time to find one to match the set. I’ve just used it and have found the tip is bent which can only mean that he has been at it again! ?

We're lucky enough to have a utility room so DH has a couple of drawers in there with rubbish screwdrivers and other assorted bits and pieces which he might need handy instead of trekking out to the garage.
Have you got a spare drawer he could use? or one of those plastic toolboxes with a handle to keep somewhere?

the drawers aren't really spare btw - I have to keep tablecloths etc upstairs as there isn't a spare drawer downstairs for them!

However, he does seem to have misappropriated my kitchen scissors, hope they haven't ended up like your knife Rosieroe

Plenty of drawers in the house Jalima but it wouldn’t matter. In the drawer in the hall table I keep a really handy little tool, in its box. It is super wee gadget - a little brass hammer and its handle unscrews several times to reveal decreasing in size small screwdrivers. I bought it and kept it hidden for my use as he always ‘lost’ every screwdriver and I could never find one when it was needed. I eventually revealed that I had this and he uses it frequently (in fact last time I went to use it only the top half was there and the screwdriver parts were missing. Eventually found behind the tv where he had been using it.)

hmm what to suggest?
I can think of something but best not put it into print.
