Cleaning - Pass
Ironing - Excellent
Cooking - rather useless

I think I have failed on the 'find an effective wife' test

Don't think I did much better:

Cleaning - ROFL!
Ironing - ROFL!
Cooking - Awesome!

I suppose 1 out of three 'ain't bad. ::)

EDIT: I forgot :

Keeping out of the way while I do "garage things" - Awesome (since she got addicted to playing WOW)  ;)

Hmmm, Mine hasn't done much cleaning and ironing in the last 16 months, she says "why should I? I work 40hrs a week you don't" and I can honestly say she hasn't touched the lawn mower, washed and cleaned a car, helped with the decorating, washed the windows inside or out in over 12 years :(

But she is a good cook so I can't complain too much ::)

Off to Jersey on Saturday as the daughter wants to get married over there and wants to look at venues. I have a Tom Tom which has the UK map on it but when I checked theres nothing on it regarding the Channel Islands, tried the Tom Tom website and they don't have and don't plan to do maps of the Channel Islands >:(

Looks like i'm going to have to put up with the wifes map reading :'(


These Daughters are costing a fortune not looking forward to our turn ::)

I don't mind doing all that, I am, after all, the stay-at-home husband. It does piss me off a bit in the holidays though, putting the washing in while she watches Jeremy Kyle. ;D

I updated the UK and ROI maps on my tomtom700 about 2 years ago for a trip to Guernsey. It does have some channel islands roads on it, not all by any stretch. but it was just about enought to get us round.
Guernsey has virtually no road direction signs.

Personal note, I find Jersey to crowded and commercialised.
I find Alderney to be desolate and unwelcoming.
I find Guernsey to be the happy medium. But it is all down to personal choice.

I hope you find a nice place.  :y
Cheers :y

Its between Jersey and the lakes in Italy. Personally I hope she picks Italy but its up to her.
I'm working temp (well 2 years) near the Italian lakes if you need somewhere to crash, the town of Varese near Lake Luggano, North west of Milan, 20 mins from Milan Malpensa airport
Thats very good of you Jim, I might come over on my own ;D
