Just doing a bit of a mental count as we are in bed so the cushions are stacked up out of view, I think we have 8 cushions that decorate the bed when not in use.
We just use the cat for that.

For some reason, the wife doesn't agree that a barmy, slobbering Labrador is the correct adornment for our bed.

Well I would, she's lovely.

(At least I hope it's a she with that pink ribbon.)

Bow/Ribbon courtesy of daughter. Hence the sad, distressed look !

My wife showed me dozens of pictures of beds with 14 or 18 cushions pile on, of different sizes and styles. THAT was what she wanted, her dream bedroom.

Asking where the holy fk you put all those cushions when you go to bed earned me a good telling off. How crass of me to try to be sensible and logical......

Precisely. These kinds of beds only work in posh hotels, where you have someone who comes round while you're at dinner and takes all the cushions away!
Scatter cushions. I have managed to avoid having them turn up chez Don only through relentless questioning of every cushion purchase. And even then there are some cushions in the lounge. Ostensibly they are for her Mum who is quite short and needs a cushion to sit in our big chairs comfortably. But I know the truth....

You just have to remember they might look nice and smell nice, but they are not real people!

Has a straight, single man that didn't have Emma Freuds, ever bought a cushion?
My mum for a birthday bought me two cushions as she though my sofa needed them. She said it was very difficult to by a masculine cushions. Well no st Sherlock men don’t want or buy cushions so they are not targeted at or for men.

My Mrs went out with the MIL slightly after 2pm today. They were going to take the MIL's dogs for a walk. (Car journey first).
It's gone 8 (CET) now and she's just called to tell me she's on her way back ! Don't really mind - just that we said we'd go out to eat tonight - which for me means leaving home between 6 or 7pm. And now she's pissed at having to drive cos I've had a beer.

Daughter is following her mother. She's changed jobs, so I drop her off at the station every morning now. Every day, for 3 weeks, we get to the station, and has to unpack her bloody bag because her purse with her rail ticket is at the bottom. That's only half of it. Her new job? PA to a company director !!!!

I know this is page 24 and I've been reading with great interest, thankful that my mrs isn't a faffer, but does the topic really imply that necessary faffage exists as a thing ?

Why use a handy light switch next to the door when you can use a lamp that doesn't give off any light, on the opposite side of the room so you have to scrabble in and out in the dark, with the switch somewhere between the floor and the perfect height for banging your head on table....?

She just called me to 'check' on a couple of things.

Walks in the door about a minute after I've put the phone down, would it not have waited the 2 minutes? (answer - Yes it would).

"Are Neil and Debbie still giving us a lift to the party tonight?"
"Yeah, Neil said he's happy to drive."
"OK then, can you call and tell them we're ready so they can come?"
"Actually Neil just rang and said they set off five minutes ago."
"But I'm not ready!"
