Only if he can cope with 5 dogs, erratic working hours and a slight propensity to get excited at the sight of the new Volvo FH. I fear I'm limiting my possibilites already.:p

Finally a subject I'm experienced in .... they don't have to cope with any of that.... they're just "on tap".

How do you prepare for Friday Night?

Is that code for "kinky sex starts at 5pm prompt"?

Jewish sabbath isn't Sunday, it runs from Friday evening to Saturday (sun down to sundown).


Friday night supper is a bit like missing Sunday lunch in the sort of household that always have a roast together on a Sunday after church.


I always thought mrs GDb didn't really know about 'us' ...does she now GDb?

Wives can be so very unreasonable.

I assumed it was, slightly less erotically, "prepare for Shabbat, which starts at nightfall on Friday night".

Although you do get a Mitzvah, sort of a good deed point, for mutually enjoyable marital sex, and double points on the Sabbath, so maybe it's both?

I am very deifinetly a gold 'person' personality wise. I'm not modern enough for platinum nor sophisticated enough for white gold, but I love yellow gold, like rose gold, and also like copper, bronzes etc.

While gold is meant to be warm I've not yet found much I cannot wear with gold, even the 'cold' colours look lovely to me with gold, where as silver/white metals often look 'wrong' for my personal taste with warm colours.

Its very personal, and I often think breaking the 'rules' in these things makes the style.

I'm not - I don't feel nearly elegant enough for gold, ever, and the colour really isn't for me, either, it makes my skin look too pale and my hair look dirty.

I'm lucky in relation to colours - I have 2 sisters and 1 mother who all have very similar colouring to me, so I can look and learn! My mother's and both my sisters' skin is slightly darker than mine, but not drastically different.

My mother and sibling have very different colouring to me. My mother is less fair, and properly brunette, not mouse. My sibling is very fair indeed and blonde (though that faded a lot after forty to quite dark blonde, it was very light. and blue eyed. Cannot tan like I can.

My mother, sisters, brother and I are all very similar in colouring indeed - Isaac's a bit darker (at his age, I was white-ish fair, and as you know having seen him, he's yellow-y fair at 8). But he still looks pretty like an NDG, and less like OH, who is darker.

My Mama's hair is growing back after the chemotherapy, but is still pretty short - what I described as her militant lesbian hair-style. Dad remarked that any mere husband making a comment like that would be lynched, and daughters can get away with murder. It actually really suits her, though, but she prefers it longer.

Bugslet.....not very rebellious, but maybe you could just have a new livery done for your fleet and do the drivers colours...have the most stylish fleet in the world.

Make them hats.

Actually all ours are plain, but I'm thinking of having a re-vamp and an image and all of that stuff, that I know little about.:o

I remember being aged 5-7 or so, dad had a scooter and sidecar. He'd taken me shopping, to buy an ironing board I think, which went into the sidecar - and I had to stand up on the running boards of the scooter, between his arms, while he drove us 2 miles home.

I think we had a smilar childhood, one where death was stared at blithely!:rotfl:

Right, so you need a clandestine mid-life crisis? perhaps you should develop and alter ego?

Re colouring, I take after my Dad and as a fashion template he wasn't too good! NDG, I think if you came up with chic and gamine rather than militant lesbian, may have made your Mama fonder of her new enforced hairstyle!

Poop, dh's weekend off cancelled. .

Poop, poop. Friday ok, but the whole weekend?

Grrrr. We've juggled lots to have the weekend alone together for the first time in ages and the next chance for a weekend like this is February.

Oh no:(. Not being sure what fir does, but I know what it's like, shuffling things round for work.

He doesn't get a good break at Xmas?

That's right. I start off by preparing fork 'andles. And they are used for the kinky sex. Oh, I hope I am not putting you off? We'd love to have you round.

Then I usually put the hotplate on. You didn't mention *hot* kinky sex, did you?

Plus fill an 8 litre urn of water, so we can have hot drinks without turning the kettle on.

Grate carrot salad.

Blend soup.

I used to make the dinner whilst DW was doing her uni course, but the quality has improved since she graduated and I stopped.

we won't have the house to ourselves in the way we will this weekend for a while. resident parent is away (which tbf happens a bit, but not quite as luxuriously as this weekend) and all my clients are away so no one knocking on the door. and i hung some curtains last week in some of the rooms that don't have them.

Our plans this weekend were mainly centred around extreme privacy IYSWIM for four days, which is really hard to get with his commitments, mine and then parent. We almost never get chunks of time off from his work, and then weekends when we get them aren't long enough for real hedonism .

Christmas he always seems to end up with clients who celebrate Christmas on the 6th January, so don't accept that anyone else should celebrate at any other time. His employers have a policy that one is ALWAYS available.

When he was working for one guy (not the one I call sadistic boss) the guy used to phone sometimes at 4 am ..just to see how alert the response would be :eek::rotfl:

My mother sniffs and says its a class and power issue. I think its probably more a fundamental chip on the shoulder, though that boss (who actually, wasn't too bad in other ways, tough and scary but DH hates that I agreed with lots of what he reported that boss saying) wasn't actually that bad.


I made nice builder not come in on Monday in the anticipation of this long weekend. And everything seemed to be going quite smoothly.

He might be able to get NEXT Friday off, which will be a long weekend, but I'll have clients about the place on saturday morning at least. I mean, it doesn't curtail but it does restrict a little. I think we're both going to be a bit grumpy about this for a while. I mean....its meant to be one of the advantages of not having kids.
