susie_floArgh! it's all going wrong... manly problems are happening to me while my man is away in Paris.
This morning was bad enough when I had to do the bins (everyone knows bins are not women's work.)
And then this evening, just as I am settling down with a glass of splish for some sacred Apprentice-watching time, my downstairs neighbour appears and tells me that we are leaking into her flat... which means MOVING the ten tonne washing machine and finding torches and other impossible things like that. I had to enlist an emergency man to be heroic in my kitchen... the shame!
(Feministas, stop looking at me like that...)
After ten mins I rushed into the living room and pressed emegency record on T'Apprentice so I'm going to watch it an hour late and hide from the internet until it's over.
I suppose I'd better get used to doing man's work cos G seems to have become an international man of mystery and will be flouncing back to Paris for 3 weeks in late May. This means I will have to do all my own cooking... pah!
But then who knows... maybe I will become self-sufficient and start liking it?

Then comes the star shaped sleeping position, lovely cool, unslept on bits.
After this is the joy of realising you do remember where the big bags are kept, and actually putting the rubbish out is simple - even a man could do it.
Finally enlightenment dawns that it's OK to ask an expert when technical stuff, (including washing machines) break down or throw a wobbly. Men hate asking for directions, help, advice so self sufficiency often means getting the job quickly
