I love thee like puddings; if thou wert pie I’d eat thee.
John Ray (1627-1705)

Now there’s a chap after my own heart…….pity he is just a few hundred years too old!!

The following extracts have been taken from a 1950’s book ‘The Good Wives Guide’, Author Unknown

Have dinner ready, plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return.  This is a way of letting him know you have been thinking about him and are concerned for his needs. ( Sound like anyone you know Jill?!!)

Prepare yourself.  Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives.  Touch up your make up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking.  He has just been with a lot of work weary people. ( Oh paleeeze!!)

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first. remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. ( What ???!!!)

Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. (yeah right!!)

Durrrrr!!  That’s it, I can’t read any more of this twoddle never mind blog about it!!
