He will cook some nights and always on a Saturday as he has his bottle of red wine and a CD blaring in the kitchen while daughter and I watch all the Saturday night programmes he hates. He started cooking many years ago when I worked shifts - he loves eating so had to learn! Household chores? You must be joking! Fill and empty dishwasher sometimes, hoover maybe twice a year but will sort the rubbish for collection on a Monday. Oh! and he likes to mow the lawn. Jacky :-)

Mine is very good. He probably does more than his fair share because I have ME but desperately want to keep my part-time job, so I need a bit extra help at home. The only thing I would say - and I wonder how many women have noticed this about men - they are totally single-minded, unable to multi-task. I can give hubby a list of 20 jobs and he would do them all, but he wouldn't notice the one that I forgot off the list. He would walk over a sticky puddle to switch the washing machine on! Bless :))

Now I don't mean to boast, but ..... mine's a real gem. He helps around the house, sometimes does more than me (cos I'm on these message boards, lol!) and wouldn't change him for anything. Glen-The-Boastful P.S. Hey Mandy, apparently men aren't able to multi-task; Bob's told me this is mentioned in the book "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus". Bit of useless information - trying to make myself sound smart (pah!)

My hubby is so good around the house, he was a single dad with one son so he can run the house as good as any woman and better than me that,s for sure, he is a gem and I love him to bits. Love Debs.
