Why?

Why is it that I see smears of low level grease all over my kitchen doors whenever I lack time and energy to deal with it but it disappears, temporarily, as soon as I do have time?

Why is it that the blouses that contain spare buttons are never the blouses from which you actually lose buttons? (Yup. This morning.)

    Think that's what they call s*ds law!

    My answer is the same as the one I give to the 'Why do I have arthritis?' question, which is 'Why not?' Our arthritic lives bear little relationship to those who can live with rhyme and reason: no rhyme and no reason is our lot and every now and again it's very exasperating. DD

    I can just about cope with smears of grease, but dread losing buttons, and/or hems unravelling on trousers - usually hubby 's.

    DD - I think even non-arthritic people have these problems :D

    Tezz - I was going to suggest the iron-on hemming stuff but, for a bloke? Nah. My three could all have them down again in a week :roll: OK for mine, though.

    I have tried the iron-on stuff Sticky, and also "encourage" hubby to put his trousers on more gently, sadly to no avail.

    I wish grease stains in my kitchen magically disappeared even if only temporarily. Ditto the coffee Mr LV drips down the cupboard door but apparently never sees

    Train them properly? After 46 years of marriage I give up. Any tips, Barbara?

    43 years coming up for us & I'm still reminding him to put things away when he's finished with them.

    Crikey, I am seeing my husband in a whole new light. OK, he drips (and sprays when stirring pans) but he is naturally tidy, does his own iron-on hemming, has been known to load the washing machine and iron his work shirts if things are rough for me, and he cooks every weekend. I think I'll keep him. DD

    Ummm, no, I don't think I can do that, Mig, because there is a risk he won't be allowed to return to me. :wink DD
