    I ... doubt you would have phrased it that way to a male, self-employed poster.

    Your assumption carol. I proffer that it says more about you than ISTL. No doubt you'd disagree.

    I know we all give out information (such as the fact that I bought in Hayes),

    Sorry Steve, this one was way above my head. What does Hayes have to do with WWII? :confused:

    Illusion, we don't actually know you live in Hayes and doesn't matter anyway.

    Should add that my OH fully pulls his weight around the house and does more than his fair share - we'd live in very messy house, otherwise, as I loathe housework. :o

    So you do less than your fair share and only work part time even though the kids are at school?

    Blimey.

    Some people would call that slovenly or even lazy.
    Not me though, as I know some of you women have to spend a lot of time making yourself beautiful....

    There is so much wrong with that statement that I don't know where to start. :rotfl:

    TBF Carol I make the breakfast in our house so I don't find making Breakfast sexist. :)
    If there was a gender reference there it would be sexism;).

    Now, if you had said P!ss *FF I would have not commented.:D

    I do all the cooking in our house but none of the cleaning (but then neither does my wife, that's the cleaner's job)

    LOL JB. Perhaps if carolt spent less time on here and more time with her family, her kids wouldn't be pushed out of the door to Breakfast Club in the wee small hours and her hubby wouldn't have to don his apron and headscalf to do the housework after a full days work. :)

    I don't cook or clean, I do some pretty mean festering though.
