General Chat

I always tend to look on the bright side of life, when it doesn't work I say bad things happen for a reason. My husband tends to look on the down side of everything.............we work well together balancing each others extremes :-D

He has spent 10 minutes flapping at flies with a bug zapper......I say they will go away later, he insists they come in just to annoy him.

There is a dark cloud looming, he insists it is going to hammer down with rain and ruin his sweet peas, I am sure it will miss us.

How about you? :-D

Hi Kitty.....

I would have to say my Mum and Dad are total opposites !!...its quite funny because as they have gotten older the have changed into opposite of how they first started.......

I listen to my Dad sometimes and think Mum had spoiled him and he still has is old ways, but his temprement is much more mellow and anything for a quiet life.....mind you with having us 3 girls and Mum he has not got a choice anymore........



;-) ;-) :-D :-D

My poor husband has me and 4 daughters......................totally outnumbered :-D

My Mum was more fiery than Dad, he would sit back and listen too, bless him.

Anything for a quiet life....is what Dad always says under his breath LOL :-D <3.....

Dad used to find something really important to do in the shed or garden, my husband goes off to the allotment where all husbands hide.................they even have chairs in the polytunnel in case of a particularly hard time at home :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D Kitty....

My Dad used to drive and get out the way but unfortunately he cannot at the moment, so its down to walking the dog LOL :-D ;-)

It keeps the dog fit and well :-D :-D

my son is a glass half full kinda chap - his wife is the opposite - they work well together

I think it does Ann....imagine two gloom merchants or two eternal optimists leaving everything to chance together...... :-)
