Missy - I think I'll run away when FH's 'fun' starts. He is a hoarder and has 'stuff' in every possible hiding space available. He told me a couple of hours ago that the apartment is on the market starting this weekend and 'he' has a couple of days to de-clutter. I stifled my hysteria! I just said sweetly "good luck with that honey".............. Let the 'fun' begin - but not on my shift! I don't think men get the intimacy of these types of tasks.

By the sounds of things here, you and I need a "diphthong" or two. Do they come in chocolate flavour...............:upset:

So ... how come we can share ideologies, political persuasions, tastes in food, music, humour but when it comes to domestic 'stuff', the whole thing turns into a shower of shit?

Why is it so?

Underoo's and Innashnal guests, August 2012!

Because not all of us have blow torches...........????????

Seriously, I have no clue! You're dead right Tawny, we wouldn't share our lives with people who we don't connect with about all you mention. Therefore, it would seem, we have made a considered choice about our partners. Perhaps our partners think the same when they are contemplating the 'shower of shit' when it happens. I must admit that I make allowances for the differences in the species and perhaps this is my mistake. I get that FH has a different way of looking at things/getting things done/planning BUT even my patience and 'understanding' in that regard doesn't make things easier. I can watch him pack a suitcase to go on vacation and I watch his thinking pattern waver, hence his process fade and pretty soon he wanders off not that long after he begins. He always gets to where we are going with only 1/4 of the stuff he needs. I take the rest..... This move will be a real challenge!

I often wonder if the Derryn Hinch's of the world don't have it sorted. Live in the same apartment block as your FH (favourite honey) but on different floors!

I didn't know Hinch was doing that, but centuries ago, the lovely Don Dunstan had the same arrangement with his wife. Separate houses. I like the notion.

Yes. me too Tawny. FH didn't cope well recently when we tried the idea..... I LOVED it! My mouth would get stuck shut from spending hours NOT talking........I LOVED that too!!!

NOW we're talking. I have always coveted this arrangement but never pulled it off.
I ran it past an ex years ago, the purchase of a duplex....half each...was only talking about it with someone the other day....He was horrified....What the hell is wrong with it? Want togetherness,,,you've got it...They give you the shits? Go next door...

I can't see this thing working if you've got very dependent little tackers (i.e in the case of Sunny) but ... when you've got a few miles under your belt and you're pretty well set and approaching old-fartage, it seems so bloody logical. Sure, finances come into it but ... weren't you living separately before you got together?

You can be totally committed and 'together' without actually needing to share the same space on a permanent basis. I think. And it is just MHO ...

Sorry didn't mean to bring down the mood - dessert looks fabulous Tawny - beats the hell out of my rock cakes BTW Monday at Sophie's school is now " rock cake day" as I sent some in for her friends by request and they have all begged for more via Facebook! Lucky they are easy and Soph does most of the work now. So there's a positive.

Cashy, how's your mum?

I'll go halves in a duplex or somesuch with ya Jonesey. As long as we could meet around 10 ish for the SBS movie de jour now and then, i'm happy. I'll do the lawns, you're likely the better chef of the 2, so a bit of lunch now and then would seal the deal for me. That's probably less than 10 hours actual sightage, conversation/grunting per week. We could even go as far as striking a deal that all cctv camera's can only operate on days with odd numbers, between the hours of 12 and 7.

Ooroo!

OH Cashy, Sorry to hear that. Let us know how sh?s doing! :l:l

Sorry I've been missing. Leons had some rough days, I think teeth are headed his way. Then tonight I was taking Leon for a sunset walk, when I saw a duck and her four ducklings crossing the road. A man was in the road telling an approaching car to slow down to let them get across the road. The driver just runs some over and drives off. One was flattened, one couldn't walk, one limped away with mama and one was fine. I took the one that couldn't walk and put it in the bottom of the pram for my two miles home. Called the animal rescue and they picked it up tonight. I cried like a five year old, but so glad I could at least help one. Drive carefully please.

Orf to bed for a few.

And I like living with my partner. There's something I find extremely comforting about touching his feet with mine every night when we go to sleep. I wouldn't want a wall between us.

Night all of yous, and lots of love to each of you.
