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!

My husband has bin blindness for all sorts of bins, perhaps yours has developed the same affliction, MrsV?

OH puts empty jars back on the shelf and empty milk cartons in the fridge, so that the fairies can come to our house and replenish in time to make his cup of tea.

I feel like smashing the empty jars every time I have the pelasure of finding them!

My kids put the empty crisp packet back in the cupboard, even though I've told them that if I see packaging in the cupboard I assume that we have plenty of food and I don't need to go shopping... Anyway, must get off the sofa and mow this lawn!

Ah... I have a husband that gets things out...but doesn't put them away. And if he does put them away, it will be in a different place from where he got them from in the first place. Which is where he will look next time he needs something, and then moan that we have run out. He also finishes stuff and wonders why it's not magically replenished.

My husband is, of course, perfect :)

It's a household joke that two of the wee-raptors will deliberately leave a spoonful of dinner in the pan or a few shreds of cheese in the box so that they don't have to be the one to wash the pan/grate more cheese/put the biscuit wrapper in the bin/whatever.

Mum used to tell us off if we ate the last tim tam, irrelevant of who ate the rest of the packet. So I started eating them from the back and carefully sliding the plastic back in :)

Car salesmen. Seriously, do people really come in and buy a new car woo it going away to think about it? Stop being so bloody pushy.
