Sympathise with you Boris. I try very hard not to go shopping with OH cos we always end up having a row.
He is one of these who thinks you go in one shop, see exactly what you want, buy it and go home
Now I on the other hand, like to go in as many shops as possible, have a coffee and a discussion about what I might possibly buy, go back and look in a few more shops and then probably go home having bought nothing, but having had a great day out.
Seriously when I want to let off steam I have a very bad habit of throwing things in work it is a stress ball and at home anything that comes to hand.
I also have what I call my voodoo orange. Its a dried out orange with pins of a face stuck in it, when anyone annoys me the pins get twisted. Dont know if it works but it makes me feel better.
Kaph dont know how anyone could go without seeing their grandchild for four months and then to more or less blame it on you. I bet your tongue is nearly bitten in half.
