Meal for one last night, and a gentle remainder for any other brave soul that is going to attempt the year list. it does put great pressure on your family life, and you can become blinkered in what is important in life.
All in moderation apparently is the advice from my better half.
Mr Woosey you are a star, have not laughed so much for ages will take your advice next time and see if she who must be obeyed will stay in the kitchen as you suggest.
I'm with you there Paul. I've never and will never set foot in the Trafford centre I had to promise, on pain of death, to spend the last 2 days doin the kitchen. Been putting it off since easter! Although Cattle Egret would have been a great county tick, it's already on my life list. If it wasn't, i would have been sleeping on my Dad's couch tonight
My girlfriend would kill me if I suggested she go shopping whilst I go birding! In 8 years together, we have never been to the Trafford Centre or shopping in Manchester.
"Mime-farce in which scenes of real life are expressed by gesture only" .Oldham college do a degree in it. It comes in really useful at times like these. On the downside-my Mrs got an A+ when she took it so I still cant win.
Dont fall for the nice day out, meal etc. From experience it doesnt work and works out more expensive.The only time they are quiet is when they have a gob full of food.
I have been to Knowsley safari park today in total silence after last nights exploits.
I offered to do the weekly shop - Asda on Bank Holiday Monday was not an attractive option, and I dont think the brownie points are yet back up to an acceptable level, but it was the best I could come up with. And I only went to see the Cattle Egret 10mins down the road!!

lol, how about getting all the WaG's together and they organise regular shopping trips??
So a county tick would be a meal plus a little shopping to keep them fairly happy and a county first would be a whole day shoping at the Trafford Centre with your credit card..
Would welcome all comments on how to deal with this situation.
First a public apology to all other halfs regarding our insensitive behavour this weekend, of course we care about you but blooming heck ALPINE SWIFT, RED-RUMPED SWALLOW and another CATTLE EGRET, what do you expect us to do, sorry:
So to those of us who have suffered the silent meals then i offer the following,
Be a man and pass your credit card over, my wife has taken mine shopping to town today, ( so how much will those Ticks cost me)
Finish off the garden, take her out or a meal, but most of all...... get a solicitor for some of us are in deep trouble.
