He didnt just forget the toothbrush...he forgot the suitcase

I feel like I've stumbled into a thread started in the 1940's..mens jobs and womens jobs...really? Myself and every single female I know would never pull the pathetic female routine to get bins emptied etc..I could never be friends with a female who behaved like that

Oh no I'm a modern, single female who is all about women's rights. More than most of my friends.

But I must admit, I still like the women's jobs and men's jobs. It's nice to have a manly man around the house to pick up the heavy objects and take out the smelly bins. I am more than capable of doing it all myself, but it's nice to be pampered once in a while

As for the OP, this is amazing!!! It made me laugh and put me in a fab mood. Not your situation of course! Just the comedy in it. Hope you have a wonderful week away

p.s. Remind him that it's always the man's fault

Anyone else found that their cheap bargain suddenly became a little more hassle and expensive than you planned?

Share your stories and help keep me from throttling him!!!

Last year in Lisbon (Luton-Madrid-Lisbon-Luton), we had to check out of our room by 9am but our flight wasn't til 1pm and the airport only 30mins away.

We finally got bored of hanging around in the hotel lobby and caugh a bus to the airport. Got there at 11:05, went to the check-in desk only to be told there was no 1pm flight to Luton. The missus had got her flights mixed up, our flight had left at 11am.

Thankfully there was another flight to Luton later that day, it just cost us an extra £200 (more than all our flights put together) to get home

Apparently I took it rather well and if the shoe had been on the other foot she'd have hit the roof!

sorry love,this must have been frustating, but I am just crying with laughter.

Last Christmas, for their present, (I paid for DD and DGD to go to Prague. The first night DGD says to DD Mom where are my clothes,
DD says in your case where you put them, Oh says DGD but you said put them on the bed and you would pack.

DD yes well Ok think we have to go shopping in the morning, what do you think you will need, DGD well I suppose some knickers would be good. We spent hours the next day just trying to find a shop to kit her out and still torment her about being Nicholas in Prague.

Thanks for the laugh and a memory of a great few days in Prague.

I use to work at a holiday park as the evening receptionist, a man checked himself in and I think his family and then came back and said he had forgotten to pack the tent :eek::eek::eek: lol he had everything else. He asked if it would be alright if they slept in the car that evening. Not sure what the outcome of that one was but felt sorry for him but found it funny as well poor man, luckily he saw the funny side of it!

We went to a concert about 3 hours drive away, got there checked into hotel and hubby realised we hadn't got the concert tickets!

So we drove back home and got them then all the way back again - luckily making it back in time for concert, (we had left early to make the most of posh hotel.) but our expensive hotel was a bit of a waste as we spent more time in the car.

afterall whilst it might be fun trying to live without clothes other than the ones we stand up in....the other guests in the hotel might not take too kindly to the "natural" look

onwards and upwards!!

There's a 'naturist' B&B in Birmingham... just an idea for your next break :rotfl:

Lots of sympathy though, it's not nice to realise your home comforts are inaccessible. I hope you have a lovely time despite this and make the most of your time together :grouphug:

I refuse to pack for my OH. He's a grown man and anyway, the one time I did (he was only going to have about 20 minutes at home to do it) he complained non stop about my choice of x, y, z and the colour of his socks. So I leave him to it and am silently amused at some of the scenarios that have occurred...no socks, no underwear, no trousers, no glasses. He really would rather I did it but he burnt his boats on that one. I take my own bags to the car. And the tent, passports, tickets, the kids' stuff, any food required, fill up the car with diesel, inflate the tyres, book the holiday...he can surely pack his own socks.

We camp a lot so in the rare instances I've forgotten something or the kids have made all their clothes filthy within 12 hours (not so rare) I find charity shops a good source of cheap emergency kit.

In this heat could you make do with T shirt and shorts. You only really need 3 of anything. One to wash one to wear and one as a spare.

Flip flops for feet.

DGD took that amazingly well, good for her!

When we go away, I assemble my stuff, OH gathers his own, and we do DS' together, plus asking him if there's any particular book or toy he wants to take. That way, if I have 8 pairs of pants and no spare bra, or he has no socks, we can only blame ourselves!

I packed a weekend case for OH (he works away) so that he could go on his stag do. I even bought a new charger for his camera as he had lost his somewhere and some new clothes and shoes as it was a special occasion. He got off the train apparently holding a bottle of vodka - and nothing else. He'd left his suitcase on the train. Of course he blamed everyone else for not picking up the stag's case! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


He phoned the train company but it was gone so it appears that someone nicked it and is now walking around somewhere in his clothes and size 14 shoes. But on the plus side they had a rather fetching purple morph suit for the pub crawl on Saturday!
