men

I would like to let you all know how my sunday was i.e my husband decided to knock a cup of coffee into the 54 litre tank I have by the mantlepiece. He managed to hit off the feeding flap on the lid and the coffee landed in the tank, I then spent an hour doing a water change and testing the water to make sure everything was ok. I then decided to go and see my brother and sister-in-law about 6-30 so my husband decided to hoover the living room, when I got back about 8-45 I noticed my 60 litre tank light was off, when I went to check he had knocked off the wrong switch when he put the hoover away so the tank had been off just over 2 hours I think you can imagine the language that thrown around . Anybody want a husband going free, does light housework.

Is he rich by any chance?? :lol:

Well, youve only got yourself to blame!

I keep telling my OH that we men are genetically wired in a certain way that makes it impossible for us to do household chores. We are excellent at lifting small objects (as long as it is filled with some amber nectar), chatting about important things like sports, etc, and mixing in sociable groups inbterested in similar things.

She just wont believe me though! :lol:

Oh dear - sounds like my OH!

Well at least he didn't unplug the filter to charge a PSP console as my kids' have done on several occasions...

He is free to a good home just make sure there's no fish tanks if he was rich I would hire someone to do all the water changes on my tanks and to clean the filters as well I hate that job, I keep waiting for the goldnugget plec to ask for a refill

I actually find all that quite therapeutic. This week I'm doing my monthly clean out of all the filters. Talk about gunky!! Bleurgh...but very satisfying when the tanks are gleaming! :lol:

Oh no Alison - but the way you tell it made me LMAO

Bet all the fish were irritable & up late :lol:

Im getting to be a bit like you Mary re tank cleaning. I love to do the gravel vac and see all the gunk flow into the bucket.

Sad isnt it!

Bucket sounds rather difficult.Just put my gravel cleaner on the garden hose and siphon onto the lawn.
Remember ,theres womens work and mens work...Bye the bye whats a Hoover???

Hoover = vacuum cleaner whistler

I know what a Hoover is Diana but I believe in pleading ignorance in all things to do with housework.Not that I dont get caught sometimes.But if u make a mess of these things u dont get asked twice with a bit of luck,dont expect her to clean my motorbike eh? .She dont know i can cook either..

sorry - I thought perhaps they had a different name 'down under' :lol:
