well of course she allowed to sit everyone entitled to 10min sit down now and again (so long as it doesnt turn into a habit and start stretching). and i ironed a shirt other week :-) i allow her to watch an hour of soaps a day also so i pretty lenient tho i am thinking of cutting it down i caught her chatting to neighbour otherday about them. but i still wouldnt trade her for anything

But do you know what is reaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllly annoying when you're actually doing some work on hubbys tree, find a bit of info that you think is great - like when i found his reles on the census (spelt wrongly as Burch stead of Birch) and and and AND(see im still a little cross about it) he says....... 'what times dinner?' Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to all uninterested hubbys is what I say?

Oh Angela , Yours sounds just like mine, complaining about being left alone, when all he does is watch boring TV, well sleep most of the time, stressful job apparently. The worst thing though, is that as his mind is coming around to the thought of retirement, he is beginning to show the first glimmers of interest in the tree. I am not sure I like the thought of that, this is my domain, I don't want him anywhere near it!! Linda

Victoria - absolutely brilliant! Loved it. Merry - I also picked badly when chosing my husband. Don't think his gg grandfather was ever born. Total stone wall. However, hubby does have one really positive thing in his favour - he can't work a computer, and therefore I do not have to fight him for the use of it (just the children!) Tina

Merry Report 5 Sep 2006 07:45

I got it half right by choosing a hubby who is interested in family history (even though neither of us was interested in it when we met!) BUT.......I should have checked his ancestry too, BEFORE I took things further......he has a nightmare tree!! Half Spanish for a start and it has cost a fortune to find out a little about that side. Then on his mum's side , her father was an Irishman who was never born and her mother was the daughter of a man who was probably illegitimate, but lied about his history and died young, giving us little to go on........ So.....when you get your load of men from the chain letter make sure you check out their details a bit as well as asking them their hobbies!! lol Merry

ROFL at the chain letter. The only prob is if we all send the bad husbands off we won't have any good ones in the mix. Helen

Angela, you could perhaps start a chain letter along these lines:) Dear friend This letter was started by a woman like yourself, in the hope of brining relief to the tired and discontented. Unlike most chain letters, this one does not cost anything. Just send a copy to five of your friends who are tired and discontented. Then bundle up your husband or boyfridnd and send him to the woman whose name appears at the top of the list. Add your name to the bottom of the list. When your name comes to the top you will receive 16,874 men and some of them are bound to be a hell of a lot better than the one you already have. Do not break the chaim. Have faith. One woman broke the chain and got her own husband back. At the time of writing, a friend of mine had already received 184 men. They buried her yesterday, but it took three undertakens 36 hours to get the smile off her face. Victoria
