    I have to agree Becles, if this was happening in my home, I would have something to say! It sounds like you do twice the work, fight for your lie in!

    Are you weekly or monthly planning?
    I have to say, even tho this is still the first month, that monthly is soooo much easier and better.
    I do the plan then get all the meat and basics in for the month then top-up every week for fresh stuff. (and cheese, a months worth wouldn't fit in the fridge lol)

    ditto. I switched from weekly to monthly a while ago and have found it much better. that way you can bulk-buy meat but not be stuck eating the same thing all week IYSWIM (distribute it throughout the whole month instead)

    Not much point having a lie in tho if he will just sit on his a r s e downstairs, and leave all the chores for her to get up to.

    She needs to get him doing things round the house and taking more responsibility for the family as a whole imo


    ETA: he is obviously working and financially supporting the family so he sounds like a good guy, just needs a little adjusting x

    Talking of babygrows, I don't think they have to be boring. This is the one Toby is wearing today:

    They're boring in the shops I can afford - Tesco & Asda! Andrew's best outfits come from the Fairies :o:D (Thank you all previous Fairies and all current Fairies :) )
    :heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls
