    help...


    sound like a lot to me hun! - try hoovering instead of sweeping... slightly less faffy....

    Mind you, I couldn't go to bed at night and sleep if i hadn't done the dishes... and big G would probably have something to say... altho he wouldn't like my answer much!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Ryan wanted a number 1 all over last time I cut his hair. We compromised on a number 2 (but I actually gave him a number 3.....lol!).

    Well it's actually OH's job... but he's not been doing it so someone has to. :rolleyes: and with our hoover, sweeping takes much less time! lol

    I've lost our number 2 attachment, so DH and DS have been getting number 3. DH is rapidly going bald and has demanded either a number 1 or all off next time. I've told him he'll look like a blimmin thug :eek:

    Kick his buum!! But then at least he does some if it ordinarily....

    Big G does more housework than i do on a day to day basis but dishes are not on his radar.... nor are changing the beds.... or putting clean washing away. But he does all the hoovering, he's the only one who washes kitchen floor, and he does the grocery shopping....

    Awwww i make him sound like a right treasure eh? Humph!!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Big G has been giving himself a number 1 for a while, then he gets me to come after him and do the missed bits/edges.... i refused to do no 1 cuts myself as it does look thug-ish on him.... but it does hide the receding hairline better than a longer cut....

    Stu has a number 2, and it looks a bit short for the first week or so, but then it looks nice. He used to have a 1 as well, but it did look a bit thuggy. Although I suppose it would grow really quickly, so it might not be too bad.

    Do you have any cheap mens hairdressers nearby? There's one near us that will do a straightforward buzz for £2.50 I think.

    DH and DS have never paid for a haircut :eek: I could suggest it, but he'll just come home with his number 1 or all off like he wants anyway :rolleyes:

    I've searched and searched, but I cant find my number 2 trimmers (we have 2 somewhere) :confused:

    I went rugby training for the first time in weeks.. I thought I was quite fit, but no the coach had other ideas. I can now tell you every muscule in my body and how much it hurts :)

    Is it raining anywhere else?
    Frustrated in Shropshire....
