How can I reward myself?

[abstibus]

I have just taken the bull by the horns and cleaned up the mess caused by feral pigeons, who cra**ed all over my extra wheelie bins (which I don't want, but the Council insisted I had lost mine, and I couldn't persuade them otherwise, even by showing the men the bins - so if anyone wants a wheelie bin or two ...)
I scrubbed the bins with Jeyes fluid and then tackled the yard with hypochlorite. Should I go out and buy myself a bar of chocolate, put my feet up and bask in my feelings of self-righteousness, or just do the ironing?

Do the ironing you've still got pigeon crap under your nails.

[cherrychapstick]

feet up , ironing can wait

[eyethenkyew]

Well, if you were my wife I'd be inspecting the wheelie bin before you did the ironing!

[CatGirl4]

Buy some chocolate,relax....then do the ironing.Enjoy!

Should have done the ironing by now. Mrs McM has got her orders and would deal with the pigeon mess after cooking my meal.

I wore two pairs of rubber gloves, old jeans, my plastic 'garden' apron, wellingtons, a shower cap - a fetishist's delight!
Should I just ignore the ironing and go and stand at the front door?

[eyethenkyew]

Anyway, you shouldn't be wasting time thinking - that's not a woman's strong point, is it? No, just get on with the next task and leave the difficult thinking decision to your hubby - but just don't expect him to do if he's meaningfully engaged in either watching sport on the telly, reading the paper to see what's worth watching, having a well earned snooze, or about to nip down the pub to have a pint with the lads!

[askyourgran]

Yes, washed and changed, bar of choccie and stand at the door to survey your clean bins. You deserve it.

[eyethenkyew]

And while you're flaunting yourself at the door, humiliating your poor husband, who do you think will be doing the tasks which you're skiving off from? The man in the moon?

[abstibus]

Well, if he doesn't get back from the pub soon, I'll soon find a use for the pigeon cr*p. Goes well with roast lamb - I'm veggie!

[cazzz1975]

I reckon you should get on with the ironing.

[abstibus]

OK , cazzz, but I'm not doing his shirts.

[mightyWBA]

I'm with Cazzzzzz..Do the ironing.
I'm off to muck 3 rabbits out,vacuuming and do the ironing.
Just done the cooking and washing up..
Couldn't bear to think of anybody relaxing!
:-(

Annemollie, in answer to your original question see my initial post on here ( http://www.theanswerb...g/Question923203.html )

Panzer_joe, there ain't nothing gay about ironing. In fact I guarantee, not a single women on here would be able to iron as well as me. And i'm proper straight, look at my avatar!!

[Barmaid]

Ironing? What's that? Will someone explain please?

Annemollie - go bar an ENORMOUS bar of chocolate and wine too. Then put your feet up and chill. He can iron his own bloody shirts.

Mr a-m wants to know if you'll iron his shirts, 'cos I have done all my stuff and he needs them for work next week.
He's listing a bit to starboard at the moment!
Wait till he tastes the lamb.

Mr AM can hoop his ironing. A real man is self-sufficient and capable of looking after himself and others around him under any circumstances. A real man does not ascribe gender to any chore or task, as the real man should be capable of maintaining a smart appearance, bearing and pride under the most adverse of conditions. A real man is not reliant on women at all (mainly 'cos women are rubbish at ironing and cooking ;-) )
