taking it back
Forget yesterday's gushing sentimentality. Mr McMuffin is not lovely at all. Today I caught him cleaning the work surfaces in the kitchen by flicking the crumbs on the floor with a tea towel.
As I have said before, I was attracted to him as a 'grown up' man who had a very clean and tidy flat. Imagine my disillusionment when he later confided in me that he'd only cleaned up to seduce me.
As we were driving back from the cinema on Saturday, Mr McMuffin noticed that there were two new apartments for sale and suggested that we buy them and turn them into one four-bedroomed apartment. I suggested that if we ever did something like this then he could have one and I would have the other. He had a little stricken look on his face and said quite plaintively, 'but then mine would be all messy and dirty'.
I feel cheated. I was promised a 'New Man', now I find I have married a 'Old Man' who is just more cunning than the others. He'll be telling me to 'wipe that muck' off my face next and calling me 'Er indoors'. Before I know it I'll have instructions to cook the Sunday roast while he's down the pub.

I don't think that there is any such thing as a new man. At least not one that sticks around after you've been seduced. Mine is quite "old" and is beginning to revel in it. It got worse after he fathered my child and knew that I was very stuck. Devious monsters, men.

At least I'm not the only intelligent woman to have been fooled! Devious is the word.

I wouldn't know how to seduce anyone. I was hoping for a shag. And, anyway, it's easier to vacuum the crumbs off the floor.

"I'll have instructions to cook the Sunday roast while he's down the pub".
Is there something wrong with this ?
You know the reason women have smaller feet than men, is so they can stand closer to the sink (snigger)

Oh so innocent, Mr McMuffin. If it really was your intention to hoover the crumbs (and I really love rotting food in a hoover bag) where was the vacuum cleaner.
Keith, despicable! Actually I think you are right in a way. Have you noticed that the only thing designed for women in a house, and life generally, is the sink? This is a git for me because I am tall and have to stoop to use it.
