Why dont men listen?

I insist on writing my own lists for shopping, so it's in order as I walk through the supermarket, nothing worse then having to double back!
and also slightly sad that you know the order of your supermarket that well that you can write a list like that......
that being said i probably know my local close enough that i could do the same......... oh dear, but then again i dont use lists as if i forget something its an excuse to have another walk lolDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

yep, sad but true.
Not a fan of shopping in general, but I do enjoy food.
I don't set the menu, so couldn't do the shopping without a list, unless we had pasta 6 days a week and a pizza on sundays 0 -
Another one that writes my supermarket list out in accordance with the layout of the supermarket:)
Errrm....and answer as to why hubby doesnt listen being = Nowt personal. It's down to the fact that the vast majority of people don't listen properly to whatever it is that has just been said to them. A fact that is incredibly frustrating to the few of us that DO listen carefully to what people say to us and can probably repeat back the exact words they used to them....:cool:0 -

He doesn't forget the essentials so he can sit in the toilet for half an hour reading his paper:mad: i do sometimes think he's in there texting Margaret. Why dont they listen? I now have to walk down the shop just for a pack of carrots :mad:
Texting saggy Maggy from the loo? Nah. He's in there doing what men do in the loo: stinking the place out.0 -

Because you failed to provide him with a reward for doing so.
Think about it - he came back with a Ginsters pasty so clearly he fancied some meat and potatoes. You asked him to get a carrot. He will have heard this but because there's no reward for doing that then he's not remembered the request.
Margaret on the other hand - whatever it is he's doing for her, he's getting a Xmas card and a tip in exchange for it. There's a reward in place!She would always like to say,
Why change the past when you can own this day?0 -
