Clumsy or what???

l hate long sleeve jumpers but with the weather as it is l NEED long sleeve jumpers.
l hate them because they get in the way, but since having my PM l really detest them, why? because when l go to pull the damn sleeves up (usually to wash-up or something equally exciting) l somehow lose grip & end up punching myself in the chest & always on my PM site, OUCH!!!
lt happened yesterday & l now have a bruise (again) right on the edge of my PM. Do you think l should be "excused" from washing up & other household chores that necessitate the need to pull my sleeves up as l obviously am struggling to perfect the act?.

You will take my comments seriously,or maybe not. lan,it wouldn't suprise me in the least if you went about your day pummeling your chest to get out of your responsibities, got this idea of you in my head as a "tarzan" look-a-like,complete with loin cloth :-)
Robert, thought l may get something sensible from you but oh no you are as bad as the twins,maybe triplets of the future??
Tatman l am really glad you are making good progress, but what is a No No???? you must have different ads to me but then l dont really watch them........
Anyway thanks for your advice even though there wasn't any.
Have fun in the snow,

And Tatman it is NEVER too cold for the shed !!!!

hi there!

Absolutely! I agree that you should not be doing the washing up... There was this very, very interesting story on the TV last night about this very thing. How having a "device" such as our prevent us from doing any house work at all. That includes washing up. This man was talking about it and he said that his wife just shouldn't be doing any washing up or laundry or taking care of the carpet because the mere thought of it make her faint! That's right, she faints! So he hired a maid and the wife is happy and the washing up is done and the house is clean. Problem has been solved. :) Why didn't I think of that.... simply faint at the thought of washing up or cleaning my house. lol

so sorry to hear about your bruising. I was suffering from the same thing. I gained some weight thinking that the fat would pad the area and it would stop bruising, but the weight all went to the back side of me~ :0 :-)
Cheers,

A Tiny Brit Plea..........

You have put forward a very persuasive argument for never doing the washing up, I hope that your husband believes you. I think he should insisting on seeing your bruises as evidence.

Interestingly I punch myself in the PM area if ever I have to help with the shopping, decorate the house, vacuum the carpets, mow the lawn or tidy my study.

Best of luck with your cunning plan !

The Brits Are Bored !!..............

..........................so its freezing cold here in the UK and we are all stuck indoors with the heating on full and with nothing to watch on the telly except for "Charmed " that has me phoning The Samaritans... and adverts for those flippin' chairs for Old People...plus that hideous Ad, made for about 12 Bucks for a Razory-Thing called NO NO...quote.. "hardly any pain".....WHAT.???

Any one out there living in a warm Country will understand that between Freezing weather and the wretched NO NO, we as a Nation have fallen to punching ourselves in the Pacemaker for some real-life gritty entertainment.

Tattoo Man is seriously thinking of taking up Kick-Boxing, given that he got a new PM 5 days ago and is already bored rigid.

So Sue, you are by no means alone and if you have to resort to whacking yourself in the shoulder for some excitement, then so be it....after all its too cold for fun in the shed now,. isnt it.?

I'll just see if "Charmed" is on.......

PS...Casper...I was Joking about the Kick Boxing !!

Three solutions spring to mind

by RobertS - 2013-01-21 12:01:57

none of which get you excused washing up or chores.

1. Get a dishwasher for the washing up. If he's young and fit then there will be other chores he can help with.

2 Get a pair of long rubber gloves. If you are in really deep water [re 1 above] go to a garden centre and get a pair of pond gloves. They go up to the armpit.

3. Get a tennis ball and strengthen your grip by squeezing it for a couple of hours a day. This is also good for opening jam jars and gripping family members or the diswasher to get them to do the chores.

There are other solutions but I'd not want to put them on the site before the 9pm watershed.

Funny though how my pm plays up every time I go near a Tesco or Ikea store. But, of course, this is a genuine problem cos of the strong magnets they use in their security screens!!

Thank you for leaping to my defence. Tattoo Man says lots of things about me which simply are not true!

Yours Indignantly

I think the snowy weather over there has really gotten the best of my UK friends.

We call it cabin fever.


Note to Ian - Will you be posting this picture anytime soon?

................................when, one day, we meet IAN, I shall be very disappointed if you are not dressed like Freddy Mercury in the " I Want to Break Free" video.

I, for one think that Extreme Cross-Stitching will be the next big thing for Real Men.

Ooh..just look at my nails !

by sue uk - 2013-01-22 11:01:56

Tatman, Casper suggested needle point,you have now changed that to cross stitching & in turn made out that Ian is into cross dressing !!!!
l think you are bored stiff & your imagination is running away with you, l remember the time when you were happy with just a gro-bag........................But l did think it a bit weird when you started dressing it up & called it Tartman???

Ahhh There You Are

by Casper - 2013-01-22 12:01:25

Hey Tattoo Man!!!,

Might I suggest you take up needle point instead of kick boxing during your convalescing.

It's sounds like it's going to be a long cold winter over there in Merry Olde England and when Spring rolls around, you'll be able to post all your needle point stichings on this site.

Casper

P.S. Long Cold Winter....... great song from the Rolling Stones.
