I felt somewhat like the luckiest girlfriend in the world last night. Karl started his Summer Holidays on Monday, but because I was sick and didn’t go to work on Monday, yesterday was his first day alone. I left him two things to do: pick up a shelf-thingy from Homebase that they had on sale and peg the washing I’d started on the washing line.
I got back last night to not only discover that he’d bought a set of shelves and pegged the washing out (he did a good job too — I have high standards and I don’t like peg marks on clothes) but he also tidied and hoovered the bedroom, washed the bed linen and pegged them out to dry too. He had the kettle hot ready for a cup of tea for when I walked through the door and he’d started repainting the lean-to shelter on the back of the house.
I can just see him as a househusband.

*blush* t’was nothing! Got to do something to keep me from noticing my cold, haven’t I? ;) I’m at work right now, but I’ll probably head off at lunch. The Semprons are going fine..:) Then, more washing! Haha! I’d repaint the kitchen, but…I’d rather just move..;)

Reading this post made me smile… It makes you think ‘awww’ the whole time you are reading it :)

Aww! That’s sweet. :)

Just don’t put any shelves up, Karl . . . *shudder* V xx
10 Aug at 10:11 am
Ah, well the shelf set thing we bought from Homebase is free-standing so relatively harmless. Hopefully. ;)

Aww, too sweet! He sounds like my b/f :D.

Aw

Oi, Jem..cheeky. ;) If I can put up SMARTBoards level and not have them fall off the wall, I can put up shelves! Besides, thats what Tom’s for…! ;)

Aww, that’s so cute heh, if only my dad was that helpful around the house LOL.
10 Aug at 3:50 pm
Ok, fess up: where do you get boyfriends like yours?
10 Aug at 3:55 pm
At the local boyfriend shop, of course. ;) I saved up and went for a top-end model. I didn’t get a free air freshener, unfortunately…
10 Aug at 4:02 pm
Aww, that’s really cute. I hope one day I find a man like that!!
10 Aug at 5:43 pm
Awwww. I am so jealous. And much too poor to be able to afford a top-end model at our local boyfriend shop. =p
10 Aug at 5:44 pm
who needs air freshener when you got Karl?
10 Aug at 7:31 pm
awwwwwwwww
11 Aug at 2:57 am
Naaaaaw, that’s so darned SWEET!!
11 Aug at 4:46 am
No air freshener? I mean, you’re kidding, right? Ahaha, seriously though. That comment made my day.
12 Aug at 5:49 am
I need to find myself a Karl. Or something.
12 Aug at 4:34 pm
Naw.. you aren’t lucky, you’re BLESSED! :) Don’t you just love it when men adore us women? It makes for the good life!
13 Aug at 10:07 am
Ai, you make me envious. It’s lovely to be thought of and cared for on a day-to-day basis like that.
13 Aug at 10:25 am
You’re super-lucky to have Karl around. It’s great to find a male who is one step ahead of everything. Luckily, my model is a pretty good one, though prone to need lots of attention… not that it’s a bad thing, ;)
13 Aug at 11:40 am
Awww, that’s sweet. Giggle giggle.
14 Aug at 9:30 am
Lol! Aww thats so sweet. I wish I knew a boy who was half as caring as that o-o Haha, yeah, my Dad’s a househusband lol. He does all the house stuff because my Mom’s at work all the time.

I am impressed! Very seldom do I come across guys who are actually willing to do the housework out of their own free will. (Apart from the guys I know who are the oldest child in the family, and have been doing their younger siblings’ laundry since young.) Most guys prefer to go out to work, though. :(
14 Aug at 4:05 pm
Wow, what a good boy he seems to be! I bet that made you feel better.
15 Aug at 11:58 pm
Awwwwwwwww :)
16 Aug at 3:38 am
Awwwww! What a man, gotta keep one like him. :)
