My husband is damn good at apologising so no matter how hard I try, I can't be cross for long.
I went to pick up lovely girl from school at lunchtime and when I came home I found;
* some gorgeous long stemmed roses already put in a vase of water
* a pink patisserie box with a large fresh slice of my favourite New York cheese cake
* a note saying 'I Love You. Sorry...'
* and the thing that made me smile the most, Arctic Monkey's 'Mardy Bum' playing on a loop on the i-pod.
There was no sign of him though, which was a relief.
I responded NOT by writing, 'Oh Darling, I forgive you' on the bottom of the note, because I am a woman afterall and deep down I can't help being a bit of a shrew.
So I wrote this;
Things I have discovered would make you happy after our row...
* Tying me to the kitchen sink (and not in a kinky way)
* Monitoring my computer usage to make sure I am not slacking from household tasks
* Sniffing the hoover when you come in to make sure it has been used
* Informing Waitrose to only serve me twice weekly MAX
* Giving me pocket money as you think I am quite clearly overspending on food for OUR children
* Getting a cattle prod to ensure I am awake, dressed and ready to serve breakfast before you leave in the morning
* And finally you must stop me from going out the four times a year that I go out so that I am present for all bath times.
He read it, laughed and said, 'Actually a cattle prod is not such a bad idea...'

*sharp intake of breath* How dare he! I'm pretty sure men get together for some father conference thingy and come up with a check list and everything because my hubby has been known to do the same thing.
They soon relent when there's a threat of never being able to open the fridge and there be a cold beer in there because oh sorry darling I clean forgot it off the shopping list. . .
I know! I know! I know. Unbelievable. I can't believe that I find him amusing...
aawh, you have to laugh, otherwise you'd cry...
at least you got some cheesecake out of it
ha i love the fact you don't just smile sweetly, fall into his arms and tell him he is forgiven. And too bloody right!
I am now very curious about your husband though- is he really as bad as he sounds?! I bet he is a darling really!
thanks v much for the award - am very chuffed!
Auntiegwen - the cheesecake was almost worth the row
Elsie Button - Well, he has his moments of being a darling and an absolute so and so. But then, so do I! I have to say he is harder work than any toddler because he is quite moody and always thinks he's right. But I knew that before I married him and still walked down the aisle mainly because he makes me laugh so hard I cry....
Rows are awful, a lovely apology.
A very good list, you've inspired a post in me..
THe last bouquet I had was from the milkman.
I was once romanced by a young man who bought me so many flowers the florist gave him a discount card .. didn't marry that one.
Darling Husband does occasionally pick some wild orchids for me from his fields.
Shall I go now and stop clogging up your blog??
Frog - now there you go about your milkman again...flowers? From the milkman? Does Mr Frog know??
Cool list, and one I can empathise with. Have also just read your blog about McDreamy - sounds so familiar, Littleboy 2 inevitably has a crying fit on Thursday nights at 10pm. I love Grey's Anatomy - although they could have left Meredith floating in the sea, George and Izzy is far more interesting....
Hello Valley Girl, Thanks for visiting.
I know, Meredith is going through a bit of a dull patch post her near death experience. And even McDreamy is looking a little tired and haggard these days. George and Izzy storyline is great, although, George??????? Would you??
What a love, flowers, cake.... sniffing the hoover!!!!!!!!! X^&*^^&$D
I think I would have fallen into his arms, but that's cos my first name begins with D___ and second M_T.
Great blog, is really very funny! (But oh is so not funny dealing with menfolk and their silly ways under moon cycles).
Every time I see your cake picture I get hungry.
Single Mum on the Verge - I am sure you are not a doormat. But of you were would you say Welcome or have a picture of a cat on? Thanks for the compliment btw *blushing*
My mat would say, 'wipe your feet on the way out.'
Or 'leave bank notes here'... with a little pocket for cash presents.
I was sent the lyrics for Mardy Bum as I was being less than Pollyanna like although no cheesecake or roses
