The world of a woman.

She filled a paddling pool in the backgarden in case this two day heatwave causes a drought. Quite what use four day old water that the dogs jumped in will be to us I'm not sure

I wouldnt accept a cup of tea or coffee if I were you.

Does anyone else's missus allow their smartphone/watch to make basic decisions for them and influence how they feel? 

 

I ask her how she slept, she immediately checks her apple watch informing me she only had 30 minutes of deep sleep and spends the rest of the day yawning and moaning about lack of deep sleep. 

 

The same thing happens the next day, coincidentally the two tired days coincide with the heat wave when I got a bad nights sleep as well, only I don't know my deep sleep timings so can't be as tired. 

 

I told her to uninstall the app and see how she feels. Miraculously, since then she hasn't been as tired. It's clearly in her head and the watch telling her she didn't sleep well making her feel tired. 

 

She used to walk on the spot to "fill her rings" (fnar) to get her health targets whilst drinking a glass of wine. 

 

Burn the smart watches.

Not only does my Mrs live her life by the smartwatch it's also influenced by her 27 year old son.

 

My wife doesn't sleep well. I make constant suggestions about going to the doctor. She fobs this off with the old "They won't do anything, I've been before and they ignore me". Her lad tells her to go and within five minutes the appointment is booked. She had a meltdown last year because I'd managed to get her an interview at my place for a much better job, better paid etc. Can't through with the interview due to nerves and so on. Golden boy gets her an interview at his place, happily goes through with it while she swerved my place.

 

I daren't check my blood pressure levels.

Was listening to a radio phone in the other day. A woman rang in and was asked her opinion about something to do with the topic being discussed and replied "I'm going to sit on the bench for that one"

[Lurtz]

Her on the phone to one of her mates who'll almost certainly never see our house as she lives 300 miles away:

 

"Ooh, yes I meant to tell you, we've changed the colour scheme in our bathroom".

 

She's bought some green fucking bath towels is what she's done.

More accurately in the case of that car. Long term the car increases in value.

More of a fun ride too probably. It would certainly last longer.

Just showed my misses the MoneySavingExpert fella and Edwina Currie's exchange and she asked, "is that Margaret Thatcher?". 

 

Yes, the ole witch has returned from the dead to tell us to put tin foil behind our radiators.

The way they panic when their car petrol comes on, for example, this morning:

 

Her (running late for work): How far is it from here to my work?

Me: I'm not sure, 8 miles maybe?

Her: I think it's less than that.

Me: Maybe it is, I've never been there so it was just a guess.

Her: Yeah, I think it's about 6 miles.

Me: Why you asking?

Her: Because my fuel light has come on and if I stop for petrol on the way to workI'm going to be even later?

Me: How many miles left does it say on the dash?

Her: 35.

Me: Plenty that, you can go to work, come home and probaly do the same tomorrow if you wanted.

Her: Don't think I'll risk it, I guess I will have to get some on the way and be even later.*huffs, puffs and legs it out of the house*

I agree with her. I had a ford focus with a dodgy fuel sender(not uncommon I was told) and it was massively misleading.

The reply will be: "Why didn't you shut the fridge door properly in 2005".
