    In the last few days hubby has tried a new trick. I get up before him, and when he gets up he makes HIS side of the bed, leaving mine alone. Then he can act all smug and pretend that he's tidier than me...

    I'd cut the sheets & duvet in half & only wash my half:rotfl:

    - Take the last biscuit/bag of crisps/bit of butter from the bottom of the carton and leave the bloody box/wrapper/packet on the side for muggins to put in the bin

    My OH goes one better than this... He puts said empty box/wrapper/packet *back* in the fridge/shelf/cupboard! I then go to get it and realise it's actually empty! :mad:

    I can clean a whole house in 30 minutes. Just collect everything on the floor, and throw it into a designated room, then close the door of that room.

    I do this! :rotfl:

    I worked really late last night and didn't have time to clean up the landing and stairs etc for the plasterer coming to do some work in one bedroom. I literally picked up everything and dumped it in the small room and shut the door. Even all the bathroom stuff, so he had access to the bath for water, and the clean washing hanging up drying. I won't get to sorting it out until the weekend - maybe :rotfl:

    Then I went into the kitchen to leave out some tea and coffee stuff for him, thought "holy hell" and put all the mess etc in the oven to deal with later.

    Ohhhh that happens in my house. My daughter does too now. Best one is empty coke bottles. He opens the fridge, swigs the last drop of coke, then leave the coke bottle in the fride. Urggggg! He thinks I can't see him but you can see through the reflection from the living room into the kitchen at night.

    The other thing he does is late at night if he's hungry, he makes a cheese sandwich by getting ahuge chunk of cheese, puts it between two rounds of bread, and then just eats it, no butter, no slicing, no plate. He rests it on his paper which is on his knee. When he goes to the gym he doesn't take his wet towel out, just adds another the next day, and by the end of the week you have five smelly towels. He now has to keep his football trainers under his car to air, I won't have them in the house. They go damp if it's been raining and he never dries them, so they smell. Oh .... I could go on.

    Stragely enough i used to be married to someone (and he's worse now) who only wore designer labels, did all his own ironing cos I didn't do it good enough, would only eat european food because british food was naff (would never eat a pie!), woudl only have matching coathangers, folded shirts like a professional and didn't have any hair.

    I can categorically say that living with a guy who wouldn't know whether the house was tidy or whether a bomb had dropped on it, is much easier :D In fact, when my ex drops my daughter off I have to tidy the house first - which is a psychological issue I know, lol ...
    Forever I will sail towards the horizon with you
