Sally you are in danger of turning in to my Mother!!!!

when ever I do any kind of house work - normally in secret cos other wise there is the constant what are you doing it like that for type comments. The bathroom being the classic - I will go in to have a shower and clean the bathroom at the same time, she will moan I am too long(not that she need to use it or anything) and the best bit is when I attempt to cook dinner, I am kack handed, you should cut veg like this, you should load the dishwasher like that, I made chocolate log in secret this year cos I couldn't bear her watching me!

Sorry sally I am sure you aren't like my Mum at all. but it helped to get it off my chest!

Do you mean me Buffy or the lovely sammy

Another cack hander here, I always slice bread the wrong way

Have solved the problem now, both Mr & Miss Twit are left handed

The Flylady site mentions controlling parents/partners quite a lot, something along the lines of things not being good enough.
The answer for those who control is to let thing be done by someone else to their standard, no matter how much you want to go over and re-do it.

I always wanted one of those left handed cheque books, not much point now we don't use cheques much :rolleyes:

I'm naturally a leftie but completely cack handed and useless.

I never understood some of the tat they sell for lefties but other things are a good send, i.e. scissors, fountain pens, knifes.

Mmmn. Fish and chips!:D I was starving when I left work but having cooked tomorrow's Boxing Day dinner I can't be bothered to heat up my leftover spag bol.

I have a left handed cheque book.

My Mom always blamed me being crap at sports on being left handed, when in fact, I am actually ambidextrous. I probably would have excelled if everyone had left me to my own devices. And yes, I am allowed sharp knives.

My wonderful childminder went out and bought left handed scissors etc for my DS as he has inherited my 'disability' lol

Ahhh thats what I need a left handed man! damn it you're married!!!

and I too slice bread the wrong way.

Mum drives me insane and actually really hurts my feelings when she redoes stuff.

when she goes to Florida I am going to really enjoying things like cooking.

the eating a lone is pants but complete control over the kitchen will be FAB!

I'm a leftie too, why does it always get blamed for so much cack-handedness....... I get there in the end - it's everyone else with the problem not me!

Lovely photos - what a talented DH you have there Linda.
