Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Our car insurance company send me an e-mail about an upcoming renewal. When I try to login to my account using the email address they sent the notice to it tell me it doesn't recognise the details.

I do all the shopping for food and presents, wrapped them all, sent them all, will do all the cooking on the day....I may get away with zero washing up....admitted this year it is 2vpeople, last year 14.

No problem. I have the time.

OH has got away with doing zero for decades and he sees no reason to change the habit of a lifetime now he's retired. Frankly he'd only get in the way due to his inexperience.

Binks made the comment to me that there wasn't really anything to organise other than a meal for Christmas. He feels differently after being faced with 40 cards for the kids class and having to wrap the presents for their teachers...that I made and selected etc.

He's bought a few presents for the kids, but had to be continually prompted. I do all the thinking, organising, decorating, special touches, planning etc. He'll do a lot of the cooking, except dessert, gravy & the extra stuff, but I've planned that & will shop too.

It ground my gears that he thinks it's just a meal.

I think Mr WA has only realised Christmas is next week because it's his xmas do tonight.

He hasn't bought anything, written any cards, put up any decorations....
He won't do any cooking either
He will do the food shopping next week tho, but only because I'll kick him out of the house to do it.
He will carve the turkey and pour the wine
My mum and mil will do the washing up
