- Are you sitting there all morning ?
- I just sat down to have a coffee is that alright?
- You were sitting there when I left this morning
- Because I was only after making your breakfast and hanging out the washing and I fancied a cup of tea and a slice of toast for me own breakfast while I watched Lorraine
- You’ve a great life all the same, cups of tea and coffee and breaks whenever you like
- I’m only after sitting down I told you
- I believe ye, thousands wouldn’t
- Believe what you like Jimmy, now excuse me, til I catch the end of Loose Women
- I wish I had time to watch Loose Women but I’ve only half an hour to get a bit of lunch
- You can’t stand Loose Women?
- I know but it beats working your arse off on a bulding site
- You’re not the only one who works you know. I’m on the go all morning
- But you’re at home all day. You’re your own boss Bernie
- Yeah, it’s great having no one looking over your shoulder alright
- You’re very touchy today
- Am I? I wonder why? Oh by the way, we had visitors earlier
- Who?
- Kim and Aggie called at nine this morning, they hoovered the hall stairs and landing while they were here
- Did they? That’s nice
- Yeah, then they cleaned out the bathroom and the ensuite, mopped the floors, cleaned the windows, changed the duvets, emptied and refilled the dishwasher, then put on three loads of washing. I told them not to get in Alans way while they were hanging it out on the line
- Alan who?
- Titchmarsh…he was out doing a bit of weeding before planting the spring bulbs.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.Two hours he was out there. Jamie came in just as he was leaving
- Jamie who?
- Jamie Oliver. He made a lovely sheperds pie for your dinner…from scratch.
- Very nice, and did he make any dessert?
- He was going to make an apple crumble and custard but I told him not to bother
- Why?
- BECAUSE HE WAS BLEEDIN’ KNACKERED AND WANTED TO SIT DOWN FOR TWENTY MINUTES WITH A COFFEE AND WATCH LOOSE WOMEN
- Calm down Bernie. Sure can’t we open a tin of fruit and have it with some ice cream instead.
- Get out of me way Jimmy before I lose me mind. I’m missing me programme, and you’re getting on me last nerve.
- Any chance of a ham sandwich and a cuppa?
- You know where the kettle is, and there’s ham in the fridge
- Are you not going to make it for me?
- I just sat down Jimmy
- You just can’t get the staff these days …
I’ll swing for him one of these days, I swear 🙄
Oh I DO love a bitta Bernie to cheer the hell outta me day! Thanks Bernie! x

Somebody’s gonna wear that pie and keep those bulbs company if he doesn’t watch it. Oof!

The grass is always greener. Have you tried leaving him home for a day with a list of chores? It might help, i remember the first time i left my Sweetie home to take care of the house and children by himself. He gained a new appreciation!

This is so funny, and so true! After I tore my calf muscle keeping my younger boy out of the street, it took five people to replace me while I healed up. It’s true, they never notice everything you do until you don’t do it!

Take a vacation and leave him to do it all himself. It helps!
