I don't right now - tomorrow HE organised that I should be available from 12 midday on for 'Virgin' to fix our land line (there is a fee to pay for cancellation/not annswering door etc)(it's important to him to phone his Mother in Turkey), I have to go and take out a couple of grand to pay for DIY bills (we're doing DIY en-mass right now and the bills, well- they have to be paid for as there'll be no interest as he well knows/wants) plus he has just phoned me to ask me to go with him to his boss' MIL's funeral tomorrow at midday, ok fine, I would - but where am I supposed to be and when? His bosses' MIL died 2 wks ago btw and now he was told to be fair.

Men huh GMA!
BTW I ring my sisters in Turkey often on their mobiles- he may already know this, but,if not: if he calls Phonecheap first 08715510008 then it only costs 8p per min

I thought I might be DID - just wondered where I should be first - (god help the poor 90 yr old MIL died 2 weeks ago and now hubby's boss has told him?. Long time for a funeral imo - but what do I know?

Thanks for that - will pass it on - but because of 'landline' he did use his mobile last night and it cost him ÂĢ2.00 - I'm not getting him excited because they talk c''p anyway.

Well, funerals can sometimes take a while, my Friends did the other week As for the question of where to be first, can you not duplicate yourself, rather like a gremlin, I find that very useful when Mr Devil arranges things and I end up doing them
I think that we may be wired differently.
I occasionally get down on m' knees and pray that one day I may meet a woman who can organise things rather than adhere to the multi-tasking urban myth.

I might well have to 'duplicate' myself DID as we 'have to talk' when he gets home? Right? *Waits on stand by* This should be fun! Btw, It is a case of hubby's boss being secretive - believe me! He has millions and money talks/dictates if you know what I mean.
I've heard of multitasking but this is ridiculous..!
I think your date will be with the Virgin man.

I know EXACTLY what you mean, infact, my Boss is the same. She is a Millionaire and doesn't know what to do with herself most of the time She is also a very close Friend and it's hard to seperate it sometimes.
I can go days without hearing from her (she spent 3 months in the SOuth of France this year), after a months skiing etc...you get the picture...then, I get phone calls at 08.15am on SUnday Morning asking about work......it drives me nuts, but, I suppose keeping her sweet pays my bills.
Now, about this dupicating yourself...

I think so too Cosmo - I can't see otherwise - most of them are hubby's problems - I'm just there to give into his priorities tbh which is OK, I don't mind helping him, obviously. (he'd better not run up an overpaid bill btw, he never has so that's one's in favour).

Well hubby does what you're doing and I have to pick up his pieces and smile accordingly. I do understand but I'm curious of the priorities which lie ahead - will let you know - he'll be home in less than an hour, should be fun!
Husbands bosses MIL funeral would be the very least of my worries.
BTW, I'm not ignoring this thread - I have to cook dinner peeps. (well I don't 'have to' but it's easier if I'm in control of the cooking)!

I understand as I've never known her (god bless) and it is hubby's boss's third MIL, Boss is nearly 80 himself.
get the money out in the morning, be back for midday and wait for the virgin bloke... send hubby to the funeral on his own. Its not your problem, and I doubt the boss would care whether his employee's partners are there

Exactly. You're the support system for him.
I'm the same - and I don't mind. But just sometimes.......well you know, it all looks like a bliddy long list of puppeteering!
I would seriously give your OH bosses MIL's funeral a miss, apologising for prior engaements you can't get out off. Wait for the Virgin man , and can you arrange with someone or leave a key while you pop out to pay the bills

I can yawn and roll a fag at the same time, but that's my limit.

The smerkin ones.
The other type just gets the odd roasting.
Rolling them would be far too energetic, for me.
My X expected me to see to the:
House i.e. cleaning(he wouldn't have a cleaner)cooking,shopping, pay bills etc.etc.
Kids
VAT
Books
horses
cats& dogs
not in any particular order, as long as his needs were met first!!!!!!
In my spare time??? I was lucky if I had a f*****g bath..
Hence he is my EX. thank goodness....
What did he do??? Get drunk, ran a good business into the ground, which laid off a lot of man power,used me as a punch-bag, guess who's fault it was??? Not his in his mind..By then I'd had enough of multi-tasking..
