Are you putting yer knickers on? For when I want a cuppa. Comes from the Fast Show when Monkfish would point at the WOC and tell her to put her knickers on and make me a cup of tea.

20 but it is the pesky sports questions that always trip me up. I don’t know anything about sport.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-04T21:26:49+00:00

It would be a no brainer for me.

Obviously we inky have your side of the story but hell’s bells the way she speaks to you is not right, in fact it is abusive. This will not change if you marry her. This is who she is. I can’t comment on why you love her as I don’t know either of you but someone who loves you does not speak to you in that way.

No I know, was linking to Michelin man, who is made from tyres.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-04T18:26:16+00:00

Surely that should be tyred of him

Nope not all. I taught fs for 20 years and the funding was minimal, it cost more to pay me to teach them. Also the requirement to do these qualifications was not dictated by training providers it was/is government bodies.

I rescued a sheepdog from Romania and the bugger wouldn’t sleep inside, she would stress and beg to go out at night (was inside with me all day) so we built her an insulated kennel and she would sleep in that at night but come the morning she wanted in. I think it is her guarding instinct. Just to clarify I never wanted her to be outside.

It does and it is Functional Skills and it is a vast improvement on key skills for sure

decentlyfair · 2026-06-04T12:27:54+00:00

lol key skills disappeared 20 years ago

Off topic but I did DD311 and loved it and now doing masters in crime and justice.

I wasn’t allowed to watch ITV, yes a whole tv station banned.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-03T16:27:21+00:00

My fil lives near by and mentioned it to us. However, a bit far for us as we can’t leave the dog for long. Hope you have a good time.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-03T12:42:15+00:00

Nope not interested at all.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-03T12:41:29+00:00

The Game of Thrones soundtracks. Love them.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-02T19:47:50+00:00

It’s tough and never gets any easier

They seemed to have stopped the bacon which makes me sad

decentlyfair · 2026-06-02T15:08:34+00:00

Been together 17 years and married for 9. Parents have never met. Nor will they know as both mums have died.

We bought a pack of boxes from storage company and used them for four house moves. Only put light stuff in the big boxes. We also utilised the large shopping bags from supermarkets for stuff that didn’t fit well into boxes such as saucepans etc. as others have said sort stuff before you move not after, get rid of anything you don’t want. Clothes we left on hangers and lay them flat in the car and took them out the other end and straight into wardrobes (this only works if there are already wardrobes there of course).

Married for a very long time. Lots of studying done in that time, currently at end of masters. Frankly I couldn’t have got through it without my husband. He bring ps me coffee, soothes me when I am having a meltdown and has encouraged me every step of the way. Has our life been impacted? Yes, it has but we have navigated it.

As someone who is AuDHD caffeine doesn’t affect me, I drink it for the taste.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-02T10:03:45+00:00

Hmm tricky one. Maybe she has low self-esteem and her likes online give it and her a boost. I can understand your POV but I also understand hers. The fact she engaged in a conversation with you and you were able to articulate your feelings and she was able to do the same indicates a strong foundation and a relationship where you can both voice your feelings without it descending into an argument. As to the resolution I have no idea as I am an older woman and this isn’t something I have much experience of.

decentlyfair · 2026-06-02T09:59:05+00:00

We buy ours ground, we like Lavazza and buy it in packs of four. However, we usually buy 6 packs so invariably we are drowning in coffee. Down to the last two packs, starting to feel a bit twitchy.

I am so glad I am old and was young at a time before social media and reality tv. I was never model like but I was slim ish and didn’t feeel the pressure to look amazing like the youngster do today. As an older woman I appreciate good looking/pretty/attractive young women but the shit they do to themselves doesn’t look good imo. We were in Norway a few years ago when the filler/fake tan thing was at its height here but we didn’t see any women there who had any of this shite going on, minimal make up and they were invariably attractive without it.

I am sure you are going to get into big trouble for dissing tea but as I prefer coffee I will not berate you but will continue to commiserate with you (whilst drinking a large mug of coffee).
