                <description><![CDATA[ PLEASE HELP TO SUPPORT CRAPWIFE BY VISITING AND COMMENTING AT  www.crapwife.com              The blogging blackout is finally over and My God I'm glad. Given that I don't do yoga, zumba or ganja, blogging is my only release. These last few days of inactivity have been torture. Instead of quietly blogging away and letting off steam, I have been gagged bytechnologyand Husband has irritated me to the extent that I've spent a week researching bear traps online.   <br>       It's been a really shit few days.          Husband is ill; He thinks he has the flu, I think it's a cold because if it was the flu he wouldn't be putting up martyr shelves in the hope of a sympathy shag.   <br>       If I so much as roll my eyes when he groans, sighs or sniffles he's straight on my case telling me 'it's dangerous to underestimate serious illnesses.' He claims that I taught him this last week, but I don't remember. He looks smug when he says it and I wonder if he's taking the piss.      He's right though. I should definitely should take his sickness more seriously. I decide to help diagnose him.       'Husband, are you cold?'   <br>   'Babe, I have flu, I'm boiling.'   <br>  Not hypothermia, then.  <br>   'Can you stand on up without pain?'    <br>     He can, so his legs aren't broken. I'm at a bit of a loss.    <br>   'Don't worry, Husband, I'll look up your symptoms on the internet.'   <br>   ' DO NOT look up medical stuff on the internet. Stay away from WebMD. I forbid you.'       While flicking through WebMD I unearth a startling discovery.       'Don't do that face!'   <br>   'What face?' I ask.   <br>  'Your startling discovery face. You don't have whatever you think you have and you're not dying- don't start this again.'       Husband is being overly dramatic because I last year I wrongly diagnosed myself with prostate cancer and got a bit upset. It was  ONE  time and it's an easy mistake to make.      I tell him that this was  ONE TIME  and that he's a pleb.       'Babe, only last week you thought you caught hypothermia from the paddling pool...'       I'm too stunned to speak. It's worse than I thought. I have no idea what he's talking about. Husband is delusional already.       'What's that on your neck?' I ask him.  <br>   'A shaving spot' He's looking at me with suspicion.       'You've got that look in your eye. What have you read? Whatever it is, you don't have it, you won't get it and you're not dying- do not get the WebMD'noids, I can't be arsed with it, I've got the flu.'       <br>     He hasn't got the flu.   <br>       And he just called me paranoid. It's probably the fever talking.      I gaze lovingly at Husband for a full four minutes before he gets annoyed and goes to bed. I will miss him when he's gone.   <br>       Two hours into his coma I take him a bowl of herb soup.       'What's this and why have you got a tea towel over your face?' he asks, without as much as a thank-you.  <br>   'Protecting my face from hayfever.'  he's too weak for the truth.   <br>   'Why is therepot-pourrioutside the bedroom door?'   <br>   'Because you smell.'          Husband doesn't question this, he knows that I think that men smell of poo. I bought some honey and almond showergelrecently and now he smells like someone shit on a toblerone.      Husband staggers downstairs after a 4 hour coma; I set off the bell sound effects app on my iPhone to alert the neighbours he's on the move.  <br>   'What are you doing? Why are you wearing your funeral dress?' he asks ( I suspect the end is near so I changed earlier to save time.)           'Why are you burning incense? It smells like a fucking opium den in here. Why have you turned the phone bill into a pot-pourri cone?'       I read online that in the 1400's burned incense and inhaled herbs to prevent infection.  <br>   'Why is there a red cross on the back door? How the fuck am I going to get that off.......?'       I haven't the heart to tell him that such things won't matter in the afterlife.  <br>   'Oh my fucking God. You're pretending I've got the Plague. Stop it. Be normal. Stop pretending I have the bubonic plague.'       I can't hear him because I'm deep in prayer.       'Wife, seriously- stop chanting, I'm not dying, you're not a grieving widow and I don't have the black death- it's just a fucking cold!'    <br>     Ha. I knew it wasn't flu.   <br>    <br>      YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife  OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER @CrapWife   <br>   ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[   How could you do this to me, Ceri Shaw?           <br>      <br>   I found Dave Garland Jones through Americymru.net,    I fell for his hair... then his earring,    Then You aint seen Ruthin yet.    I couldn't take my eyes from the screen; I watched him online,    Fighting wars for his art form,    He's ahead of his time.    Excited by the Geography (he lives close to me,)    I will start a Scrap Book and call it...    The Life of Davie-G.    I was on YouTube for hours, hes had thousands of views,    If I could just maybe once meet him,    Would he make me his muse?    I dont love him in a that way, Im not attracted you see...    But his failings are irresistible...    To a stalker, like me.    The bus stops about a mile from the great DGJs home,    I sit and wait there for hours...    Hoping Dave lives alone.    I leave down-right dejected.Dave Garland Jones is not in.    But it was nowhere near a wasted journey,    I found souvenirs... in his bin.    I feel my confidence soaring, on the tail my toil,    I log on to watch him on youtube...    My blood starts to boil.    The reason (I hear you asking) is Ceri Bloody Shaw,    Trying to lure Dave to America,    The betrayal is raw.    While Dave's songs and sketches pierced my heart like a knife...    Ceri was scheming from Portland,    To take him from my life.    I dont know how Ill continue, in the face of this blow,    Who can I stalk in his absence?    'Cause Daves  sure  to go.    It's not even like I can follow, the thought fills me with fright,    At one thousand pounds sterling...    I can't afford the flight.    I can live, pray and dream as fate rolls its dice    And that Dave will come back from LA one day...    Treforests quite nice.    In the meantime I am left with YouTube for a friend,    Daves no doubt packing his suitcase,    A/C will have got him in the end.    So I hope you enjoy him, Americymru.net    Be sure to tell him that I love him, please...    ...dont let him forget.                        CrapWife.   <br>    ]]></description>

                <guid>http://americymrunet.jamroomhosting.com/crap-wife/blog/1717</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[ Please, please support CrapWife and visit the site  www.crapwife.com  where the blog is visible with pictures and pages.       Apparently Husband didnt sleep very well last night. This is because (according to him) I woke up 6 times, loudly declaring  Im hot!  and then got out of bed at 4am and cried for ten minutes because I was too cold.      I remember nothing of this and have only his word for it, so given his recent dishonesty, I dont believe him. (Although... it would explain why when I got up this morning I was wearing gloves and the foil space poncho my mother got me when she visited NASA.)  Weve started getting up a minimum of two hours before he leaves for work in order to spend quality time together and talk. This was his idea. It is a very bad idea. Given that I have hypothermia, I think I can excused any blips the usual sunny disposition hes come to know and love.   Do you want toast babe? he asks, all healthy, happy and normal.      Glare.     C-O-C-K- O-F-F I spell out using my hands to make the letters.   Is that a yes or a no? I dont read sign language.   <br>    Glare and two fingers.   Two pieces of toast then? Honey?   <br>    I like honey, so I nod.  My mood improves as I read get well soon messages on twitter from people who understand how ill I am. Husband promptly ruins this mood by whistling.  When we got married, I drew up a list of rules; one of them prohibited whistling before midday. Husband seems to have forgotten this rule, along with many of the others, including:    No pissing in wardrobes no matter how drunk you are    No asking for sex for a month if England beat Wales, Scotland or Ireland in   any sporting event , including synchronised swimming, archery and bowls.  <br>  My fingers and toes are still a turquoisey blue, and if I stand in the garden in my pyjamas I start shivering again. This is proof that I have hypothermia. Husband sees me shivering and tells me to come in before I... and I quote, ...catch a sniffle?   <br>      Sniffle? I have hypothermia! A sniffle is something made up by parents to make kids do their anoraks up... or to explain to strangers why their offspring drips snot... I have a potentially life threatening condition caused directly by his cheating on me with animals. I would tell him all this, but Im not speaking to him.   This is nice, we get to spend some time together before I leave now. Howre you feeling? he asks.  <br>   Babe? Howre you feeling? he asks again. Ive tried, I really have, but my will to speak is too strong:  <br>   I feel like shit, I have hypothermia and you arent taking me seriously. I tell him.  <br>   I am taking you seriously, but babe, youve got a sniffle because you got wet and youre grumpy because youre tired. <br>      Grumpy? Im not grumpy; Im having an emotional breakdown caused by ice shards in my brain. I hate it when he plays things down.Hypothermia can cause all sorts of medical complications- I looked it up on Wikipedia.  By the time Husband returned from work last night I had fashioned my office chair into a passable replica of Stephen (God amongst men) Hawkings wheelchair. I accomplished this using duct tape, straws, a digital photo frame, some bamboo canes and the waste hose from the washing machine. This exercise was designed to give Husband a glimpse of the consequences involved when not taking potentially life threatening complaints seriously. If the wheelchair didnt do it, the voice changer app on my iphone certainly hit home.   Judging by the look on his face, Husband will be more sympathetic in future.  I would like to quickly draw your attention to the 'pet names needed' button above this post- please click and share with me your ideas for embarrassing pet names for me to call him in public. There are some crackers there so far... Sunday lunch at my mother's is shaping up to be a colourful affair.

                <description><![CDATA[ Please visit blog in its original format at  www.crapwife.com        Husband vowed that he wasnt going to speak to me last night but he had to in the end. I think Ive got hypothermia.<br>   Wife, you dont have hypothermia, youre a just a bit cold because you were being mental in the garden wearing your fucking wedding dress.   <br>    A quick Google of the symptoms confirms that yes, I have hypothermia.     Youre shivering because youre still wearing your wedding dress and your extremities arent turning blue, youve painted your bloody toe and fingernails turquoise.   This is beside the point. I have pins and needles and Im woozy. I fear the end is near.   Maybe if you went and changed instead of standing there like Miss Havisham youd feel better.     The similarity is uncanny; its 20 to nine and Ive spent all day training the dog to hate men. Hes probably right about the getting changed thing though, but Alas! I am too weak. Better to have a rest on the kitchen floor instead, I decide.   Babe, get up, youre dripping everywhere. he says, stepping over me.   Woe- I can barely hear you speak, Husband; my energies are concentrated upon staying away from the light. Each word is a struggle for me.     Wife, your veil is stuck to your ears and the light is from the fridge, Im making dinner. Get up.   Hmm. I am hungry; no doubt a side effect from the hypothermia.   Why are you so dramatic? Is this about that Gin thing?   <br>    So he admits it then, eh?   My dearest Husband, oh my weary love, I am in much psychic pain- I am finding it troublesome trying to come to terms with your infidelity... And Im not fucking dramatic.   <br>   How are you not dramatic? Ive come home tonight to find my wife bobbing in the paddling pool in her wedding dress with our first dance song blasting from the conservatory. And now youre trying to speak all Dickensy- How is that not dramatic??? <br><br>     You lack the tools to understand the complexities of my wounded heart... I say, eyes rolling as death nears.    When I emerge from my brush with death and see that hes ignoring me and chopping tomatoes I decide to be the bigger person.  Husband is clearly ashamed of his recent indiscretion and his refusal to pander to me is obviously because he feels so guilty.  Plus, I really am fucking freezing. I head upstairs to change. After screaming for nearly3 whole minutes Husband is eventually there like a flash. He doesn't seem concerned by my distress and suggests that my skull isnt actually bleeding and that perhaps the blood is seepage from my latest home hair dye attempt. Im not convinced.  Over dinner, he brings up Gin. I tell him that Im not ready to hear him speak the name of that slag pasty and clutch my heart to indicate that it still hurts.   Slag pasty?   I cant answer as unfortunately I seem to have fainted.     You said slag pasty? Gin the slag pasty? As in Ginsters pasty? he thinks he's fucking Columbo.   Did I? I cant recall; my memorys patchy which is probably due to the hypothermia or the bleeding skull .   Are you telling me that youve been accusing me of cheating and floating in the paddling pool in your wedding dress because I ate a steak bake? he asks.   Betrayal is betrayal flowerpot, you made me be a vegetarian so in your face. I reply.   Oh my fucking God. Firstly, the vegetarianism was your idea. Secondly, I only ate meat in work because I found a 4 pack of Peperami behind the DVDs and some wafer thin ham under the sofa on day 1 of usbeing veggie! I was playing you at your own game. he's riled.    <br><br>  I have no idea how they got there and I resent the accusation.  Hes gone a bit red and hes speaking quite loudly, it looks like Husband might be about to break...   Youre mad, babe, I love you. He says, finally.  What? Thats it? Ive caught hypothermia and told my mother hes cheated on me and thats it?  This is what really gets on my tits about Husband. Doesnt matter what I do, how I do it, how mental I act- hes never any closer to breaking than when I first married him. Sometimes I dont know why I bother.  Husband went to bed happy, his patience had miraculously rejuvenated. He even attacked the bedtime challenges with renewed vigour, throwing a new move- the figure of 8- into the naked cock dance recital.  As I watched Husband hum the theme tune to Neighbours and perform the helicopter, his willy wind-milling furiously like the hands on Jodie Marshs body clock, I realised that Im going to have to try harder to break him. I think its time to buy a video camera, don't you?       YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife  OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER@CrapWife  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[   this post can be viewed in its original format with pictures at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk   and at   www.craphousewife.blogspot.com    I didnt sleep well last night. Husbands deceit is weighing heavily on my mind. Hes cheated on me with animals so what else has he lied about? Am I honestly the centre of his Universe? Is his name actually ######? Does swallowing semen really make you lose weight?  His response to my text about his infidelity was curt:    Im not going to dignify that with an answer. Love you, see you later. xxx    <br>      Practically an admission of guilt. Yet I still love him. Yes hes cheated, yes hes betrayed me, but Im really fat, I cant afford to be back on the shelf- health and safety would have a fit.  I manage to stop dry crying long enough to order the shopping online. Sainsburys is taunting me and every thank you message feels like a knife to the heart. Its not just Husbands betrayal that is hurting... Sainsburys and I go back years- I do 6 big shops with Tescos and it sets my Husband up with a Ginsters Slag-Pasty; hardly fair.    Its probably somehow my fault though, maybe if I brushed my hair more often this wouldnt have happened? Perhaps if I used my immac on my bikini line instead of putting it in his baldness cure lotion...? I suppose I shouldnt really have deleted the Matrix from our V+ to make room for John Bishop with his beautiful floppy hair and plus size teeth? I must change to save our marriage. I will be a better wife and remind him why he loves me.  Husband texts while Im polishing the skirting boards:    Hows u r day going?      Busy cleaning and being a good wife and stuff. Please dont leave me.        Wtf r u on about? I am not going to leave u and I havent cheated.        I have evidence. I understand tho, its all my fault, I see that now, Ill be a better wife.        Babe, seriously, what r u on about?      I decide to stop being cryptic and confront him directly about the Ginsters slag-pasty:   I know about Gin. Was she worth it?     I dont even know anyone called Gin. Why r u being mental?'      Not being mental, have proof. Dont worry, will be a better wife so that you dont stray again. Im sorry and I love you etc.        Not cheated. Dont know Gin. No idea what u r on about. Love u the way u r- dont go all fucking alter ego on me, Ive had a hard day.    <br>    Alter ego? Me???    Ok. Love you Husband. Lets forget this and save our marriage. Going to weed the garden (even though it hurts my knee) so that you have less to do.        FFS. Leave the plants alone, and dont be mental in the garden, the neighbours already think were weird.    <br>    Hmph.  After cleaning the house I decide that theres no better way to remind Husband how much he loves me than by resurrecting one of the Old Faithful games he so enjoys. I think that the Silent Witness is probably his favourite (where I pretend to be a corpse and He has guess what killed me) so I set about planning my death.  Why Husband is pissed off when he gets home is beyond me. Im the victim in all this!  The house is clean and I went to loads of effort to make the Silent Witness game really convincing. It might be that he doesnt like the smell of Zoflora? It could be that he may have accidently thought I was actually dead for a few seconds? Or it may be, as he put it, that I was being mental in the garden again when he specifically told me not to.  Either way, he won the Silent Witness game in record time by correctly guessing that Id drowned in the paddling pool while wearing my wedding dress.

                <description><![CDATA[ this blog can viewed in its original format with pictures at www.crapwifeblog.co.uk or craphousewife.blogspot.com             After the migrainey horror of the past 5 days, I am grateful to report that my head no longer feels as though its home to the chorus line of Jersey Boys whore fighting over a Wizard of Oz DVD.  On Friday, instead of the 45000 CVs from boy band hopefuls I anticipated, I wasgreetedwith a single email advising me that my advert has not been processed as my card issuer declined the transaction. The snotty nosed slag on the phone tells me this is because I made an error with the expiry date.  There must be a mistake as I dont make mistakes. Mistakes are for Husbands and tax offices. I re-check the original order and realise that a card expiring 01/04 probably wouldnt work. This is a major hiccup and I cant help but feel that this typo is somehow Husbands fault. Now, when I head out of the door on my errands later, all Husband has to do is mow the lawn and drink beer. Im tamping.  I need to make him twitchy to buy time so I can formulate a plan B.   Morning Husband, I love you.    I love you too baby, you feeling better?    I'm alright thanks cock-mag, full of the joys of Spring. I missed you when I was sleeping.       Hes visibly shaken.       Meant to tell you babe- Ive sent thatRegaine back, it wasnt working and it smelled funny.   Bollocks.   Also, I've thrown out all the meat Oxos and ordered a vegetable steamer. He tells me.   Two bollocks.   Yeah, I was going to say that actually, I thought of it yesterday, before you did probably... I reply.   ...yeah well if being veggie is making you better we should keep it up. Love you.     Two mahusive bollocks and a misshapen penis called Simon.  Now Im going to have to schedule a meat stop into my very busy day.   Ive decided that Im coming to town with you. Husband tells me.  Husband initially thinks that I am crying because I dont want to spend time with him, then he realises that my headache's probably come back and urges me to go to bed.  Im going to leave the rest of the weekend unreported- I had a veggie BBQ and I cant bring myself to talk about it yet.  This morning however, I feel far more positive about the vegetarianism. I must admit, the headaches although as frequent are less severe, and yesterday the Doctor said its a 'step in the right direction'. Not only that, it has highlighted just how dedicated to my health and well being my dear Husband is.    When he left early for work this morning I ventured online in search of meat free meal options and followed a slutty little recipe onto the Sainsburys website that promised to be both easy and satisfying.  The Sainsburys website is a marvellous thing. One click and the ingredients are in my basket, and Im proud to tell you that the whorish beef wellington flaunting itself at the top of the page was no match for my resolve.  Pleased with myself I log onto my nectar transactions and decide to pay with points.  Below is a table showing the recent purchases I have earned nectar points for and the text messages I received from Husband around the time of said purchases:       Text Message from Lying Cock-Sucker Husband      Purchases Brought Home.      Mystery Missing Purchases.

While Ive been sat at home eating celery(and one fillet steak, a ham and cheese sub, a McChicken sandwich and two corned beef pasties from Greggs)hes been in work cheating on me with animals.   A quick internet search of 'my husband is cheating on me with animals' brought up a worrying selection websites. I was unable to sign Husband up to any of them as I had first intended because my desire for revenge couldn't match my horror at some of the stuff I have today seen. I don't care how liberal you are, fantasising about getting raped by the Lion King and sucking off horses is just plain wrong. Instead, I text him:   'I can't believe you're cheating on me.'   With a Ginsters pasty no less; a fillet steak I could sort of understand, a lamb shank even- but a Ginsters pasty for fucks sake? This must be exactly how Sandra Bullocks felt when her Husband shagged that tattooed munter. I may start a support group. In the meantime, I've made him a pie for dinner.

                <guid>http://americymrunet.jamroomhosting.com/crap-wife/blog/1701</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[ this blog can viewed in its original format with pictures at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk  or craphousewife.blogspot.com         Husband is completely over his illness andI almost wish he was sick again because the whistling and general cheerfulness is ruining my mood.  Nothing I say or do seems to be denting his demeanour, its like living with Ant and fucking Dec.  My mood isn't great because my pool arrived today.  I say pool as though its some watery oasis ofmosaickedcharm, its not. It looks to be made of bluetarpaulinand tent poles. Still, itll do the do job. When I decided that I wanted a pool I wasnt unrealistic about the restrictions of budget and space- I knew I wasnt going to be able to have a free form pool dug into the ground or even an above ground one encased in smooth Swedish looking wood... Why then am I so disappointed?  Because I didnt expect it to look like a paddling pool, is why.  When I looked at the pictures online, there was a woman pictured tit height in water with her Husband and 2.4 children. It is clear to me now that these werent real people, or if they were, then they must have been bollocky midgets because theres no way that that this water will come past my kn-ankles, let alone my jubblies.    I dont even think therell be room for me to wear my arm bands and I know for a fact that the inflatable hippo with drinks holder is a no-go. Husband is more positive than me.   Itll be nice, you watch- well fill it with warmishwater and put potted plants around it.    Id rather die that be seen in that.    Come on, give it a chance, all you wanted it for was floating and reading in anyway.    Id rather die than be seen in that.    Ill set it up and see how it looks, right?    Id rather die that be seen in that.   While watching Husband hammer away at assembling our new pool I am reminded how much I love him- a lot. There is nothing he wouldnt do to make me happy and hes constantly trying to think up new ways to impress me.Unfortunately, the pool still looks shit, but I'm going to lie and say I'm grateful for his efforts.  I head outside to relay this but Husband starts speaking first:  Meant to say Wife, your singing yesterday was brilliant, you should start a band.   Sarky little bastard.   <br>       Yeah, I know, I was going to actually.   <br>     I think youd be really brilliant babe. You should definitely start a band. You should do it and then go on X Factor.    Sarky little bastard.   <br>    Does he honestly think Im stupid enough to parade my rotting vocal chords on telly and humiliate myself by sounding like Mariah Carey getting raped?   Babe, Im being serious, you were brilliant, you should do it, you should sing that REM song that you practiced yesterday. Theyd love it.    Sarky little bastard.   <br>    He does not know who hes messing with.  On a separate note: Something very weird has happened; The front door lock has been filled with chewing gum. I have no idea who would commit such a wanton act of vandalism but suspect the robbers who stole Husbands clothes may be to blame. In truth, it is but a minor inconvenience, my cousin will be able to fix it next week when hes back from holidays. In the meantime, any visitors can use the back gate which will give them a lovely view of our garden and swimming pool, so no real hardship.  On another unrelated note: Friday is going to be a very busy day for me. I am meeting an artist, and we will be discussing illustrations for the blog- Ill be gone all day, so sadly, Husband shall be spending the first day of his 3 day weekend alone.

                <guid>http://americymrunet.jamroomhosting.com/crap-wife/blog/1699</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[ this blog can be viewed in its original format with pictures at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk   or at   http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/            Husbands sickness isnt my fault. After all, he didnt have to eat the cheese- he could have negotiated with me instead. When you think about it, really, its his own fault for not communicating with me effectively. Monday morning, after a restless night and an early morning taking delivery of parcels, Husband is adamant that it is not his fault. In fact, hes pretty certain that Im to blame (!) This, of course, simply isnt true; and I tell him so.<br>   This simply isnt true.  <br>  You made me eat a ball of garlic cheese thatd been in your Nannas handbag for 18 hours.   <br>    (I decide not to tell him that my Grandparents have since read the blog and rang to advise that it was more like 22 hours because they were caught in traffic at by Leigh Delemare service station. Or that it had been sat on the windowsill of their hotel room for 48 hours prior to this.)       I cant believe youre blaming Nanna for this Husband, she carried that cheese all the way home for you- youre not even allowed to bring foreign food stuff back into the UK, she could have been jailed. Why are you being like this? I question.   Im not blaming Nanna, Im blaming you. says Husband<br>   Potato/potatoe, were related. says I.  <br>     Fine, lets see if she has another ball of cheese and you eat it then? Husband looks smug.   Ooooh youd love that wouldnt you? Me to eat a ball of cheese and get even fatter. You just dont want anyone to fancy me; youre trying to make me fatter so that no one fancies me.   <br>    (No-ones actually fancied me since 2004.)   Youre a pleb. He tells me.  <br>      Im shocked, as that usually works. Husband goes back to bed with a book and I set about tidying the house (not out of guilt.)  I find that the cleaning is enjoyable today and before I know it,I'vehoovered(not out of guilt) mopped the floors (not out of guilt) and made a batch of 'non vegetarian made with actual chicken' broth (not out of guilt.)  Husband seems really thrilled with my efforts, especially with the soup which he says, and I quote, is just what the Doctor ordered.   <br>    I am pleased that were finally reaching a truce, as Im finding being blamed for another persons crimes a terrible burden which is no good for my chi.  I dont know what made me mention the chicken arse while he supped the soup, but as Husband vomited the truce onto my nice clean floor, I realised immediately that it had been a mistake.  In an effort to make light of the situation and recapture the sentiment of the truce, I joke:   Oh, dont worry; at least you didnt throw up on the cat.   Admitidley, this isnt the funniest line Ive ever quipped, but Husbands a simple creature and its enough to make sick come out of his nose. There is no greater horror than watching the one you married vomit through their nose.  Suffice to say that the truce is off. Husband believes that this was a deliberate act of sabotage on my part. I am totally mortified that Husband thinks I would do such a thing, and I tell him so.   I am totally crushed that you think I would do such a thing. <br>       You posted all my clothes back to me- second class ; youre capable of anything. He says.   There you go, bringing up the past again...    They only arrived this morning! You still bip at me for forgetting to put the bins out on our wedding night. (I had left a note reminding him, which he ignored.)  I can see that Husband isnt in the right frame of mind to listen to reason and suggest that he goes back to bed to think about what hes done.  This doesnt seem to go down well and he slams the door on his way out- I think this may be domestic abuse but Im not sure. Thankfully, my mother is somewhat of an authority on this as she sits on a domestic abuse forum-unbelievably, shes more concerned about Husband than me. She suggests that I reread my blog, I tell her I dont have time as Ive got to redo the floor.  I am very hurt and upset about Husbands very low opinion of me (especially when Ive tried to be so helpful.) I decide to play Xbox to perk myself up.  Being as I spent so long organising things this morning (not out of guilt,) I am able to locate the batteries for the karaoke mikes instantly.  Given that Im such a perfectionist, I decide to pick one song and practise it before trying others and starting a band.  By my eleventh rendition of R.E.Ms heart wrencher  Everybody Hurts  Husband has had enough time to realise that  No , he didnt have to eat the cheese, making it his fault he's sick, and Yes , I was only trying to cheer him up when I made him laugh while he vomited.   <br>    That, my friends, is what marriage is all about.

                <description><![CDATA[ This blog can be viewed in its original format with pictures at www.crapwifeblog.co.uk and http://craphousewife.blogspot.com             On Saturday our mates came over. I got shit-faced.    Husband was up in the garage looking for more beer when my friend informed me shed had a message saying Id won the award for Top Blogger on Americymru.net. I am absolutely landed- these are the people running a Welsh festival in L.A, on Hollywood Boulevard no less.  My Award  West Coast Eistedfodd 2011   Husband comes back in just as Im telling my friend to open another bottle for us to celebrate.    Celebrate what? He asks.   I dont know what came over me at this moment, what was going through my mind, what piss taking little funster possessed me to say it, but I heard myself telling him...    It was going to be a surprise, but I got a job.      Ah for fucks sakes. Why didn't I just say I was pregnant or something? I of course haven't got a job.  Before you get all Jeremy Kyle, I dont sit here and claim benefits while drinking coffee and writing about gluing my Husbands shoes together; I pay council tax and Im not on the dole. I just dont have a job. Its not like Im not applying though, Im even following a recruitment agency on Twitter:    Cloudninerec  steve ward<br> Senior social media strategist 55-65k, London http: #############    crapwife  crap wife<br> @ cloudninerec Is it worth applying with a couple of GCSEs and a certificate in food hygiene that I bought off a Harvester grill chef?    Cloudninerec  steve ward<br> @ crapwife Sadly probably not, and oh - you wasted your money on the food &amp; hygiene certificate...     crapwife  crap wife<br> @ cloudninerec Hi Steve- just to let you know I've swapped my food hygiene for a City and Guilds in reflexology- does this change anything?  He said no, theres just nothing out there for me at the moment.  I was very ill on Sunday. It would seem that sometime during the course of the evening I contracted MRSA. My first clue about this came when I woke to find my tongue had been stuck to my pillow. This is not, as Husband suggested, red wine dehydration. It seems that pillowcases with an above 600 thread count act as a Velcro when in contact with the tongue. I tell Husband to find me the phone number for Egypts cotton Minister so that I can complain.  Being Mothers Day we go visiting. My Grandparents have just returned from Amsterdam and they have bought me presents. I am very pleased with the Delft ashtray and 100 fags, less so with the ball of garlic cheese that spent 18 hours in Nanny's handbag on the return journey.  Having a fag with my Grandparents is one of lifes little pleasures, never before on the planet have two people managed to tangle so much randomness into a ball and call it conversation. They are possibly the funniest people I know. They make me feel like a kid- even at 28 my Nanna tries to dress me and do my hair.  Though careful not to mention it in front of the Husband, they are avidly following the blog. I dont know what my Nanna thinks blog means, but its her new favourite word. She phoned me last week to ask me to blog her over a photo of the garden, and then told me she was going to have a blog on the online bingo before dinner.  My Grandfather has said that Im not allowed to quote anything they say without paying them royalties, but Im hoping theyll be too busy trying to buy a blog Argos to read this.    Also following the blog are my parents, who arrive shortly after we do. Unfortunately, I have to distance myself from my mother today as once again as she looks stunning and next to her I look like a Kosovan Refugee who ate a 4x4.My mother was born in 1961 which is the same year as the Berlin wall was built. She stopped aging in 1989, which iscoincidentallywhen it came down.I dont mind being seen next to my Dad, (or Silver Fox as we call him) next to him my grey hairs are barely noticeable .      After discovering that my Uncle (who lives opposite) is out shopping and moulding the builders sand on his driveway into a large penis, we head home.  Now I think about it, this was definitely a mistake. The Uncle in question is a nightmare- this is a man who once used a forklift truck to put someones mini in a skip because they stuck a key to his Diahatsu and called it a Noddy car. Compared to him Im an amateur. Hes vowed to get me back and I spent the rest of my day drawing up a battle plan just in case he does.  The night-time challenges resumed last night.     If you want to get into bed you have to eat the whole ball of garlic cheese. <br>  We like garlic and we like cheese(we've even been known to like the two together) but this cheese is like nothing Ive encountered- if Id have had the foresight to post it to Edward Cullen, there wouldnt have been a Twilight series.  Husband hasnt gone to work this morning and I feel a little bit guilty. He was up all night throwing up after eating the cheese and he looks like shit today.  He finally managed to sleep around 4am, shattered and feeling very sorry for himself. This is why is hasn't spoken to me since 7.15am, which is when the Postman woke him up to delivery his clothes.

                <description><![CDATA[ This blog can be viewed in its original format with pictures at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk  and http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/2011/04/diary-of-crap-wife-waiter-waiter-i-have.html          My love affair with Campbells cuppa soup is completely over. Last night after my bath I resorted to cuppa soups in the absence of cigarettes. Half way through the second, I found at the bottom of my mug what can only be described as a dehydrated chicken arse. It actually touched my actual mouth. This triggered a volley of dry heaves that nearly resulted in another Poppy-gate. (Poppy is the cat and Im not proud of this but... about six months ago, after a night out (drinking something that tasted like Bertie Bassett threw up in a shot glass) I accidently vomited on her. I tried to get the bathroom in time but my shoes were the same colour as the carpet and the resulting invisible feet caused me to lose balance, fall up the stairs, land awkwardly and throw up on the sleeping tabby. I told you, Im not proud, but it happened and you have a right to know.)  Husband was awoken from his slumber by my cries of distress and was clearly concerned.   Whats wrong now? he said. <br>  Theres an arse in my soup and it touched my mouth.  <br>  You are taking the bloody piss.   Hes not good when hes sleepy.      After showing Husband the arse and crying a bit, he was able to see that it was all his fault and that none of this would have happened if hed just given me my fags. He must have felt pretty shitty about it because he made me some tea and gave me a foot-rub.      We didnt stay up too long as Husband was freezing due to only having swimming shorts to use as pyjamas so we returned to bed where I dreamed that I was given the Spanish Armada as a birthday present. During one of my hourly burglar checks I got my tit stuck in the venetian blind which led to more distresed noises and crying- by morning its fair to say we were knackered.  Husband was off work all day due to his new fangled shift patterns and if you ask me its a fucking blessing. His clothes still havent arrived and hes today wearing a sleeveless vest with some shell-suit bottoms. I can once again see his knob.  Husband believes that this is because its got bigger. I tell him thats hes probably right as itcouldn'thave got any fucking smaller.  I'mnot good when Im sleepy either.      Husband and I reach an uneasy truce around Midday when he tells me that hes sorry about the fags. I tell him that I too am sorry for not preventing his clothes from getting robbed. We have a cuddle and a cup of tea and throw the soup sachets in the bin together. I feel calmer knowing theyre not in the house anymore.    Late afternoon and were starving. Were only going to Tesco when absolutely necessary at the moment and Husband offers to pop to the Co-op. Our local Co-op is a marvellous place, alright the prices are extortionate and they prey on the loyalties of pensioners, but the staff are generally wonderful. I have never known a shop that will go so far to help a customer in need.  Husband has been gone about 10 minutes before I ring the Co-op.        Hello Co-op, this is Linda speaking, how may I help?     Hello Linda, I hope you can, strange request but Im in a bit of a tizzy. My son has just popped down to your shop for some essentials and Ive had a bit of an accident.     Are you okay? asks Linda, she sounds nice.    Im fine, its just my age. Ive tried to ring his mobile telephone but hes left it here and I desperately need to get a message to him, I was hoping you d be able to find him and pass it on?     If you think it would help my love, of course. Whats his name and whats the message?       His names ###### ######, hes wearing one of those shelly suits thats all the rage. Just tell him that his Mam has had one of her accidents- hes going to need to pick up some tenna-lady super absorbent, bleach, a new mop head and a twix. If you could do that, my love, Id be ever so grateful.     Right... no problem, dont you worry- Ill call him over the tannoy and then give him the message myself. Rest up til he gets home now.  <br>  Husband bought me 40 fags. Hes a fast learner.   YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER@CrapWife  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This blog can be viewed in its original format with pictures at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk  and http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/          I am thankful that I had a legitimate reason for not attending Husbands team lunch yesterday. Im not so thankful for the nature of the reason. Im a little bit addicted to Campbells cuppa soups at the moment and in my haste to get my fix I left the teaspoon in the mug and stabbed myself in the eye with it.    CW Text  : C ant come to lunch. Sorry. Been stabbed in eye.     Reply : WTF? By who?     CW Text : Campbells. Very bad. Its touch and go. If I die, dont get over me.     Reply : R U dicking about or R U actually hurt.     CW Text : Whats RU?     Reply : Are you.     CW Text : Am I what?     Reply : If you can see to text and take the piss then I will take that to mean youre not dying. CU.     CW Text : Whats CU?     Reply : Short for c*nt. <br>      I think Husbands mad. Im starting to worry about the clothes situation. He made it quite clear that I was to make sure that his wardrobe was full again by the end of the day. After phoning the Royal Mail and being advised that delivery will be made within 2-4 working days, I had to swiftly come up with a plan to fill his empty wardrobe.<br>  To my relief, my beautiful (ginger) niece has left her pencil case here and I was able to draw pictures of all the missing clothes and blu-tack them to coat hangers. Dodged a bullet there, I think youll agree.    Husband arrives home late from work in a delightful mood considering I didnt attend his work lunch. He says that his Uni clothes were a huge hit and that he told everyone what had happened with my eye and they all send their best. Peachy.  Compared to his, my mood is admitidly a little less delightful- I attribute this to my mortal wound as my eye is actually, properly, not-even-joking hurting. And I cant see facebook without squinting. Add me here   Husband, to his credit offers to run me a Radox bath to ease my stresses and go to the shop to replenish my cigarette supply as I have self medicated the eye with nicotine and run out. Everyone knows that theres no better cure for stress than a soak in water than smells like a synthetic jungle and a fag.    My mood quickly improves as overall Im pleased. Ive managed to side step the humiliation of being seen in public with him and have resolved to change my facebook status to separated in order to detach myself from him while his clothes are missing. Just as soon as I can see it properly again.  After a blissful 40 minutes in the bath, drinking red wine and savouring my last ciggie, I hear Husband opening his wardrobe in the spare room. Wow he says, hes clearly impressed with the art work, although in hindsight, this may just as easily have been Cow.  By the time I emerge from the bath, (thoroughly soaked and looking like Gloria Hunifords knee) Husband is in bed. Bless him; hes had a long day.  Im pleased that hes asleep because itll give me time to colour my drawings in. I am, however, less pleased with the drawing of 20 Marlboro Lights hes left on the coffee table. CU.

                <description><![CDATA[ This blog can be found in its original format with pictures at http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/  and  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk          Last night didnt turn out quite as Id planned.  Where are my clothes?    Wherever you left them, Husband.  I left them in my house, and theyre not here now.  Maybe they were stolen, Ive been distracted today what with trying not to impale myself on a golfing umbrella and being fat.  I didnt call you fat. He says.  You did a bit. Its fine, and I will diet if itll make you happier.  (Accusing someone of calling you fat is an easy way to panic them. This only works if youre fat.)  I didnt say I want you to diet!  You said that I should be vegetarian in order to lose some weight!    No I didnt! Thats about your headaches! And I didnt even suggest it! It was my mother!  So now your mother thinks Im fat?  The ripe panic on Husbands face is as obvious as that wart thing on Sarah Jessica Parkers chin.  Look, can we just drop it, Husband; youre only making it worse. Ive had a really busy day today and Ive got a paper cut. And stop going on about your clothes, I dont know what youve done, but I suggest you find them.  Yeah ok babe, Ill go and have a look, I need to find something- Ive got my team lunch out tomorrow and theyre doing pictures for the new ID badges.  Shit.  Husband rummaged around upstairs for nearly an hour. Obviously he was never going to find his clothes- by that time they were probably being chucked around by a night-shift postal worker that smells of grapes and speed.  Cant find them babe- but good news... Ive found my old Uni clothes in the attic; Ill throw some of them on a quick wash.  Oh my fucking God.  I dont know if Im alone here, but when Husband and I moved in together, I confiscated a large portion of his wardrobe for shames sake. Theyve been boxed in the attic ever since.  You cant wear those, I forbid it.  Im going to have to babe. If my clothes really have been stolen then I dont have a choice- I cant even pop to Tescos to get something new as Ive had a few beers. Hes calling my bluff. He wouldnt.  Apparently he would. The man has no shame.    Husband went to work this morning dressed in a Global Hyper Colour T-shirt, leather waistcoat and a pair of satin stripe trousers belonging to a long lost tuxedo. The trousers are so tight you can see his knob, the waistcoat has the look of a raped and splayed bean bag and the T-Shirt appears to have Chlamydia. I am absolutely fucking mortified.  You dont have to tell people that youre married when youre on a works day out Husband- I dont mind if you want to pretend that youre single sometimes.  Dont be daft, Wife, I love you, I love telling everybody that Im married to you. I have photos of you in my wallet. I show them to everyone.    I just mean that you dont have to mention my name- you could just say my wife you dont have to use my full name.  Youve got a lovely name, I like it when people know were married, loads of people in work know you.  Ive always considered my Husband to be a really decent accessory- hes a tidy bit of kit. Im proud to be married to him because hes an amazing person but mainly because because hes quite easy on the eye. The thought of him venturing out looking like hes been dressed by an autistic Gok Wan is making me die inside.  Dont forget 1pm in La Cantina- Ive left taxi money on the bookcase- all the Husbands and Wives are going so Ill be really pissed off if youre not there- I did email you about it yesterday.  I dont read his emails, theyre really fucking boring; He once sent me 800 words about the new adjustable desks being introduced at the firms new premises. Since then I just reply Ok, Love you to whatever he sends.  I hope to God I impale myself on a golfing Umbrella before midday. RoadRunner- 1 Wiley Coyote- 0.

                <description><![CDATA[ this blog can be viewed in its original format at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk   and  http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/    Yesterday was a strange day, I realised in the shower that Im about 2 cinnamon bagels and an ovarian cyst away from having to wash with a sponge on a stick. This is of course a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea.         Im feeling a bit crap overall, and not Crap in an Ive not done the housework and Ive glued his shoes together kinda way- more just a bit glum. Husband deserted me again this morning and went to work. I did tell him that I may get dizzy from all the loneliness, fall down the stairs, impale myself on a golfing umbrella and die, but he left anyway.  I decide early on that keeping busy is the only way to stave off the boredom, so I set about ironing and planning for World Domination. The ironing was actually easier than the plans for domination, which surpised me as Im shit at doing shirts. I also decide to clean out the understairs cupboard and am amazed to discover how much brown paper and parcel tape is lurking behind the coats- its left over from my attempt at becoming an eBay magnate, which like so many of my projects, never materialised.  Husband rings about midday to check how I am.     Im fine thanks flower pots, Im not dead which is good, because you would probably be charged with murder by neglect if I was.  Going to work isnt classed as neglect though really, is it?  Yes. It is actually. The judge would throw the book at you- leaving your defenceless wife home alone where anything could happen- theres probably a paedophile looking for a little whipper snapper like me at this very moment.  Youre mental. Youre not really what they look for babe- they tend to go for smaller younger people. He says  I cant believe you just said that- so Im old and fat now am I? Im only 28, Im hardly Janice Dickinson and you know Im sensitive about my weight!  You know what I mean, shut up will you? back peddles Husband.  So Im old, fat and you dont want to talk to me, fine, Im so glad you phoned.  Dont start, what do you want for dinner tonight, Ill pick something up.  Im not eating, Im too fat. Im going now  Babe....     The boredom today is as thick as the dust my exercise bike and I am forced to take drastic action to prevent tedium induced insanity (this is a very real problem and I am shocked by the lack of public awareness.) Even the Xbox isn't holding my interest, and I love my Xbox so much that if I had a disk shaped penis I'd bum it.  Thankfully, being ingenious, I hit upon a plan. Unfortunately the plan involves venturing back to the Post Office.  I dont know about you, but for me, the worse part of doing the laundry is putting it away- Im not very good at carry things and walking on stairs without falling. This is why Im so pleased with my solution.  Its amazing how many individual items of clothing a 30 year old man can accumulate over the years. Because theyre usually spread between drawers, wardrobes and washing baskets, you never really get an idea of just how much there is.    It cost 61.85p to post all his clothes back to him, I held the Post Office tutters up for ten minutes before they eventually opened up another window for them. I know this money could have been put to better use- especially considering that keeping the dog in fillet steak isn't cheap. I think you'll agree it's worth it though- he did call me fat after all.   YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER@CrapWife  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This post can be found in its original format at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk  and http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/ with pictures and video.       (I'm really sorry about the delay with today's blog, the site hasn't been letting me upload or track any views etc and I'm fucked if I know how to fix it.)  Mother in law has left and were really sad to see her go. Not just because its been nice having her here, but because were frightened of killing the garden- she has managed in under a week to create a gorgeous garden which we can enjoy for years to come. Were tremendously happy with it. Husband however, is nervous. He knows now its just the two of us again that hes vulnerable. Hes right to be scared. Im going to start off subtly, I will start by reintroducing the night time challenges and build up to something major, which is yet to be confirmed. I have lists and a clipboard and Im going to war.    As Husband was back to work today he went for an early night while I caught up on the soaps. I feel better now Ive had my fix but am once again annoyed by some of the storylines in soap-land. Ronnie Mitchell is getting right on my tits. I still havent got over the fact that I waited all those months to see the conclusion of the Danielle Daughter/Mitchell Mother storyline. Im still angry about it. As usual, the ever considerate producers had included a help line number for those affected by the issues in the show.  "Hi, my name's ######. I've been affected by some of the issues in tonights show- you see, I gave my daughter away when she was a baby because my father made me, I grew up distant, closed off and acerbic, and never had a boyfriend 'cause anyone I tried to have sex with lost their penis to the cold, the only saving grace in my sad little life was my overwhelming love for my sister, who I have suffocated and babied through her cocaine addiction in Ibiza and her failed relationships with a nightclub owner, unfortunately, it would appear that she has slept with the only man who had enough sense to use Anti-Freeze instead of KY when he shagged me, and they now have a baby- that they called Amy, you know, like the one I gave away- in between all this, my sister's husband left her, and I had to save them from an icy pool, fortunately I'm immune to the cold; I'm not really speaking to my sister, but I'm making an effort because my father (who told me my kid was dead) is marrying my aunt, not sure how it's come about, but that's how us Mitchells roll, anyway, to get to my point, it would appear that the cleaner from the local pub who's been following me looking sad for a while (can't blame her, I did recently help you get an abortion) is actually my daughter, who is not in fact dead, oh, hang on, that tramp from the car lot has just mown her over. You can see my problem, I've very much been affected by the issues in tonights show, and I think when your writers are mirroring real life so closely in future, you need to think of the affect this could have on your audience."    In typical Eastenders style, they stretched the storyline to breaking point which eventually snapped onto our screens like the cheap, dried out elastic band that holds your fathers VAT returns together in the attic. What reward did we get for our dedicated following soaps passion? Thats right, we got to watch the whining whisperer from Telford being mown down by a slope headed heathen with a bad wardrobe and one necklace to her name.   Fuck you Eastenders.  And theyre at it again.  How long have we been subjected to the baby switching antics of Mrs Branning? At this rate, Ronnies theft of baby Moon wont be realised until alarm bells start ringing when hes old enough to dress himself in leopard skin nylon and a pleather mac. Sad. Its not that Im not able to empathise with the situation, its more that Im mortified that the writers didn't consider cot death alone to be horrific enough to be a storyline in itself, and they felt the need to sex it up with cot swap.    For those of you not in the UK who have no knowledge of Eastenders or the World of British soaps, I apologise for my rant as it must be pretty fucking boring for you. It does have some relevance on the events of the day though.  I have decided that now Mother in Law has left the building that Im going to make my own Eastenders. I have recorded the dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum tune that indicates the end of the show onto my iphone and wont be speaking to Husband without over acting and punctuating my sentences with it.              Hi babe, you alright- missed you today. He says coming through the door. <br>  Were out of milk. I say clutching the empty bottle to my chest and holding my hand to my grief stricken head dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum   What are you doing.  Nothing    Husband ignores the sound bite and gets changed, he's in a cracking mood as I've promised him a chilled out night on the sofa and a really nice meal as during the gardening marathon home cooked fare was been off the cards along with all his favourites foods as his Mum's a veggie.  Husbands a bit scared of vegetarians. His mother hasnt eaten meat since he was about 8 and the thought of a return to vegetarianism strikes fear into his beef clogged heart.  I think I'll leave him watch a film on his own as I'm shattered from fighting yet another migrane today. My migraines have gathered momentum in the last few months. Mother in Law says that she noticed a huge difference in her own battle against the demon headaches after cutting meat and alcohol from her diet. I decide to bring this up:   Babe, Ive felt so ill for such a long time, Ive decided that something has to be done. I have been thinking about it all day, and Ive concluded that, to see if it helps......(dramatic pause)....... Im going to become a vegetarian.  dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum    Do you really think it wou-  dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum    Stop doing that, its really fu-    dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum    Look, if you think its going to help you then Ill do it with you, I hate to see you ill, dont get me wrong, I wont enjoy it, but if it makes you feel better, Ill help. Says the sweetest man in the World.   Im so happy you understand Husband, I know that you love meat, but I really think this could be good for us for a while, we need to start being more health conscious anyway and if it helps my headaches, thats got to be worth it, hasnt it?    Yeah, ok, starting when? says poor, starving Husband. I can see him visibly shrinking in front of my eyes as the joy leaves his body. I had promised him a steak tonight, and when He phoned from work earlier I told him about the two monster fillets I had found reduced in Morrisons.     Ive made a lentil soup for dinner, so no time like the present. I had some earlier though, so youre eating alone. I fed those steaks to the animals, they loved them. Would you do me the honour of....(down on one knee).... Joining me in a cup of barley squash?  dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum   Husband settles down to his lentil soup- nutritionally fantastic but a tad low on taste, I should know, I made it myself- I found a recipe online and omitted anything that looked like it could add flavour.Husband looks heartbroken.  The lentil soup really does look like shite. I'm just glad I had that fillet steak, babyleaf salad and glass of bordeax before he got home.   dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum   <br>         YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife  OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER@CrapWife  ]]></description>

Ever since I started this blog, Ive been trying to get round Twitter and I still dont understand it. From what I can gather, its like faceboo    k with only status updates Im totally stumped- what the hell am I supposed to write on t    here? I have had more people follow me around the pub to tell me Ive got loo roll    hanging from my leggings than I currently have on Twitter, and it takes me 20 minutes to decipher what people are saying.   <br>       The lack of vowels people use, owing to the character count, had me thinking for the first week that Id stumbled upon Polish Facebook. Its making me feel old and out of touch. Granted- being sat in the garden writing this with a tartan blanket over my knees isnt helping matters, but still, I blame the technology.   <br>     Speaking of which, the laptop has 100% got Aids now.This morning it coughed as I booted it and started making noises like Chloe Mafias dildo, I fear the end is near so if you dont hear from me for a while its because Im burying it (maybe Ill ring Gary Mole.)   <br>     Theres little to report on the campaign to break him at the moment, after the awful cock-money fiasco I feel that the only way to succeed is to plan something major that he cant ignore/rise above/turn on me.   <br>     I will keep you posted.   <br>       In the meantime, I have created what I believe to be a fool proof plan which should really hit him where it hurts- his hair.Husband has been going bald for about 6 years now and has for a long time been shaving his head.The introduction of Regaine onto the marketplace has offered him a glimmer of hope that he thought was long gone.Im pleased for him as his bald spot becomes highly reflective under the halogen spots in the kitchen.    His Regaine has been left unopened in the bathroom cabinet for the last week has hes been too busy to commit to the routine involved. This has worked in my favour as he doesnt yet know what to expect from the solution. In this time, I have transferred the follicle enhancing elixir into an old jam jar and replaced it with a mixture consisting of 60% water, 30% hair removal cream and 10% Johnsons Holiday Skin. Im hoping, after a twice a day application over the coming months he will be left with a dome like head that looks like one of Jordan's tits. I couldnt give a shit if he doesnt like it, Ill give him some cock-money to buy a hat.   <br>         YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife  OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER@CrapWife   <br>  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This blog can be viewed in its original format with pictures at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk  and  http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/            Yesterday was a mixed bag. As it was my birthday I adopted the doing nothing because its my birthday stance and because of this, the day was much like any other. I awoke with the usual birthday feelings- bollocks thats another rung on the ladder to thirty, but still, at least therell be cake.   <br>    As Ive already babbled on about, the garden is well on its way to completion and the overall effect is stunning- Ive started viewing the pond as a fabulous water feature and stopped thinking of it as a failed hole, this has been very liberating, and although still not zen-like, Im happy and content.  The break neck speed at which the garden is being tackled is mesmerising, by the time Id decorated my wellies the beds were already down and edged. Mother in law charged me with the very important job of counting seeds into piles, which Husband couldnt be trusted with. Maybe theyll make a gardener of me yet?  Not known for my dedication to a task I was bored quickly and decided it best to get to the Post Office to send the Blue Peter letter.    This is where the day turned to shit. One thing guaranteed to piss me off on a sunny afternoon is old biddies tutting. Im sure that when a woman hits her late sixties shes whisked away to a weekend retreat, probably in the Lake District, where shes taught the lost arts of tutting, sighing and causing injury with a wheeled shopping basket. Ive no real proof of what these women keep in these gaudy looking contraptions but I imagine it to be pilfered sugar sachets, tenna lady and the souls of under 30s theyve tutted to death.  The pissy knickers brigade was out in force, the queue at the Post Office smelled of urine, biscuits and parma violets. I dont think it was pension day so they were probably posting letters to long lost relations who had the good sense to emigrate or writing to Terry Wogan about sexy adverts and the news. Either way, they were all in the Post Office as I popped in to post Husbands pictures to Blue Peter.    I should point out at that this is the first time Ive ever written to the show; I always hated it as a child and felt that the extra 30 minutes of learning they tried to disguise as entertainment at the end of the school day was both unfair and transparent. They also gave us Anthea fucking Turner. Because Ive never written to them before and am unsure of protocol, I make the error of deciding to send the letter by recorded delivery.  By the time I reached the front of the queue, I had a tidy coven of biddies filing behind me tutting and clucking about the price of stamps and kidney stones.  It wasnt until I pulled out a twenty with a massive black cock drawn onto it that I realised my mistake. Never, ever leave the house without checking for Acme traps.  Pol Pot the postal worker loudly informed me that:   The Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928 says If any person prints, or stamps, or by any means impresses, on any bank note any words, letters or figures, he shall, in respect of each offence, be liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding one pound.<br> The penalty was changed to 25 pounds in 1977 (Criminal Law Act, s.31) and to 200 pounds in 1982 (Criminal Justice Act, s.46). <br> Who died and made her the fucking money police?   She shouted loudly about youngsters who watch too much Dirty Sancho (San c hez  who I like)and Jackos (Jack  ass,  who I don't) and think its funny to play practical jokes.<br>      <br>    It took me fifteen minutes of back peddling, denial and a 20 charitable donation to the RNLI to calm the situation.  By this is time, the tutting brigade were in fine fettle clicking their tongues like a visiting African Tribe. My patience had melted away and there, in amongst the stationary and wrapping paper, stood a seriously mortified Crap Wife. (Of course I accept no responsibility for the failure of this prank and fully blame the person who suggested cock-money via facebook.)  I dont know if the defaced money had been an act of deliberate sabotage on Husbands part, there is a chance that he hadnt looked at the notes before putting them in my purse- either way, I have had a taste of what it feels like to be on the receiving end of one of these pranks. I would love to say that this has encouraged me to drop my campaign of terror, but it hasnt. As soon as his mother goes home, hes dead.

                <description><![CDATA[ Friday, 25 March 2011      B log can be found in its original format at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk  or http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/        I had a lovely day yesterday. In preparation for my birthday (today) Husband and his Mother are over hauling the garden. Given that I am as welcome to plants as Barrymore at a pool party, Shipman in a pension queue or a double glazing salesman at Josef Fritzls house, Ive been taking a more hands off, advisory approach. (Im not allowed to touch anything.)    If there is a nuclear holocaust in the coming months, I have no doubt that my Mother in Law would be able to replant the planet with a packet of mixed seeds, some compost and a handheld trowel. I am not worthy to hold her wellies.    The End of The World is something that weighs heavily on my mind- not just holocaust, anything that threatens life as we know it, Yellowstones caldera, the peak oil crisis or alien invasion to name but a few. I am nothing if not prepared. I have cupboards full of water purification tablets, tinned fish, vitamin supliments, freeze dried sundries, power supplies and batteries galore.    Im not too stupid to realise that if I stopped watching end of the World films then I may have been able to buy something other than survival kits (for when zombies attack,) but I like the security that comes with a cupboard full of survival gear. My friends think Im mad. I care very little, as when theyre picking the brains out of the caved skull of their next-door-but-one-neighbour, I will be eating nutritionally balanced tablets that taste like lasagne and watching Alan Partridge on a wind up telly.  Husband is knackered from digging and planting and Im finding it hard to think of a way to torture him without just being cruel. This is actually working in my favour, as hes getting twitchy.  As we watched telly this evening he asked if I was alright- Im fine I told him, but this is making him nervous. There hasnt been a major attack in nearly three days, and other than yawn, interrupted hes had a pretty easy time of it.   Are you sure theres nothing wrong, you dont seem yourself he tells me   My knees really bad is all, and Im tired from watching you work in the garden   I think he thinks that something really bad is going to happen.    I dont think Ive mentioned this, but for 6 weeks, Thursday night has been art night. I told Husband that I watched a documentary about relationships that suggested that couples who draw or paint together once a week communicate on a deeper level. Husband, being the supportive spouse that he is, has been going along with this, despite not being able to draw as well as my eight year old, ginger niece. Last night, when Mother-in-Law had retired for the evening, we broke out the paints.   I think we should draw some pictures of the garden, Husband, what do you think?    How long do we have to keep the art thing up for then babe? Is this going to be a permanent thing, or do we do it for while and then stop?    Well if youre going to have that attitude about it then it wont work, its about expressing our love for each other through the medium of art.  I strop.   I didnt mean it like that, Im happy to do it if you think its good for us, and anyway, its nice to spend time together around the table isnt it?  Bless my Husband.  I decide to draw a lily with the legs of a ballerina and Husband does a picture of him and his Mother gardening. My picture is weird, and his is inspired- I especially like the strip of blue hes done across the top of the page for the sky. I think maybe he should have joined the blue to the green for the grass instead of having a white gap between the two but I dont tell him this because hes super proud.  I think its fantastic that my Husband is willing to take part in weekly art sessions with me to improve our relationship, this is indicative of just how special a person he is. Nothing is too much trouble for him when it comes to me and our marriage, and hes too modest by far. I feel that I should try and reward him in some way, as he definitely needs some form of recognition for all this hard work.   Dear Blue Peter, <br>   My name is ###### and my special friend thinks I deserve a Blue Peter badge because Ive been helping my Mummy in the garden for three days and Ive been really good. I have done lots of digging and lifting, and I cut my thumb on a spiky red bush but I didnt cry once and everyone says Im really brave. Its my special friends birthday tomorrow and we are doing the garden for her as a present and shes really happy because shes got a really bad knee and she makes plants die. I think you should give me a badge because Im a super brave helper and I want to be a gardener. Im a good drawer my friend says, so I have put some of my pictures in for you to see. Theres a picture of a horse, one of the sea and two of me doing the garden with my Mummy. I hope you like the pictures, me and my special friend draw them on a Thursday night when everyones gone to bed and its our little secret but my special friend says it makes us more closer. Thanks for reading my letter and please, please give me a Blue Peter badge.   Love from,   ###### in Wales.

                <description><![CDATA[ ORIGINAL BLOG FORMAT WITH PICTURES AT  WWW.CRAPWIFEBLOG.CO.UK  AND http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/2011/03/diary-of-crap-wife-yawn-poke-gag-scowl.html    Im having to be more covert in my attempt to break him.My mother in law arrived this afternoon and (although shes supportive of the campaign of torment I subject her only child to) it is difficult to get him to dunk his cock in a mug of ice-cold water (in return for access to the bed) when shes asleep in the next room.   <br>     Im not known for my subtlety (which is a shame because I wanted to be a spy) and the task is proving difficult.Im not really in a position at the moment to make him take his clothes off in the garden, and because of this Im having to break out the old faithfuls  .     <br>      Old faithfuls like the yawn game.The yawn game is the simplest form of torture I have ever inflicted.Its so effective that he once told me that it was the most frustrating experience hes had in 30 years on the planet.   <br>      Then why did I stop doing it? I hear you ask.   <br>     Common sense.When I started the game we were dating, and if Id continued with it, Id never have got him down the aisle.This was around the same time Id started gaining weight, and torturing him before he needed a solicitor to leave me was simply not in my best interests.   <br>     I made the decision to retire the game and save it for another day.Like today.   <br>     Im going to share with you the genius that is the yawn game.Its a simple case of patience and perseverance.   <br>     First, you must ensure that you wake your victim about three times.There are many ways of doing this- I think I heard a burglar  is by far the most effective.   <br>         When your victim is awake, you allow them to drop off to sleep... and then wake them again. Repeat this process 3 times and then engage them in a conversation about your feelings.    When they start yawning (which they will) poke your finger in their mouth thus making them gag and ensuring that they never complete a full yawn.   <br>     It sounds like nothing, but trust me, its the simplest, most effective ploy Ive found to date.      <br>     Husband tells anyone wholl listen that for the first year we were together I didnt let him yawn.This is true.Somewhere along the line though, hes forgotten how this made him feel.My previous hard work with the yawn game has become nothing more than an anecdote he tells our friends, hes forgotten the frustration.There was no burglar and he remembers now though.   <br>      Youre not starting this crap again, are you? he asked.     <br>     What crap? I dont know what you mean? What would you do if I died? Would you ever love again?     <br>       Yawn-Poke-Gag-Scowl.     <br>       The not letting me yawn crap, you know what Im talking about. Dont you fucking dare.And Id be crushed if you died. You know that.     <br>       Yawn-Poke-Gag-Scowl.     <br>      I tell him,  If I died, I dont want you to be happy, mind.I want you to walk round with my ashes in yourmanbagcrying at strangers.     <br>       Yawn-Poke-Gag-Scowl.     <br>          Seriously, dont start with the yawn shit again.I know what youre doing. He says .           <br>     I want to be buried when I die; I want Living in A Box played at my funeral. I want half the people to be told my last wishes were for everyone to dress in party gear, and the other half to be told to dress in black- that way half will think the other half have been disrespectful and therell be fights. I want fights at my funeral.     <br>       Yawn-BollockGrab (you cant be predictable)-Gag-Scowl.     <br>       If you start this crap up again then youll be put in a cardboard box withBoyzoneplaying while they burn you with matches.     <br>       This is offensive to me; Im not a fan ofBoyzone.     <br>       That wont happen, Ill text my sister my wishes and jump off a bridge to spite you.She wouldnt let me down.     <br>       Yawn-Poke-Grab-Scowl.     <br>       You're scared of heights and anyway, Ill over rule her and then Ill remarry achavto spite you. He says.         Fine, Ill haunt you and stick my finger up your bum before I put it in your mouth when you yawn. Says she.    <br>      Husbands getting cross. Im not having this conversation, I had 4 hours sleep last night, its half one    and were up at five tomorrow.     <br>         Ok, Im sorry, Im not really starting the yawn game again, I just didnt want to sleep-Im upset because Im so fat, I feel really crap babe, Im sure that woman inWyevalewas laughing at me today. I feel really down.     <br>       Aww baby, dont be stupid, I love you just the way you are, youre beautiful, youre being silly     <br>       Yawn-Poke-Gag-Scowl.     <br>       Seriously, dont start with the fucking poking.     <br>     Shhhhhh, Husband, youll wake your mother.

                <link>http://americymrunet.jamroomhosting.com/crap-wife/blog/1659/and-zen-there-were-none-shes-got-the-stress-factor</link>

                <description><![CDATA[ Original format at http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/2011/03/and-zen-there-were-none-shes-got-stress.html and  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk            While packing upitems to take to the charity shop today, I came across a book called the Stress Factor. Beingknown for my ability to prioritise anything over the task in hand, I read it. According to this book I could be damaging my health, happiness and even my chi by being stressed. This needs to stop immediately.  Ive spent most of the day drinking green tea and not letting things bother me.  For example, I am not bothered that Husbands breakfast meeting was moved to lunchtime or that he informed me that hes outgrown his suit and bought another one which is mint (his word, not mine.)  Nor am I bothered that his glasses had discoloured in the sun or that he had enough time to collect new contacts from SpecSavers.  I am not bothered that hes not mentioned the porn mag. And Im not bothered that he didnt pay for lunch, thus avoiding the cocks on the banknotes.  I was not even bothered by getting 50% of the way through this blog before realising that the e button on the laptop is broken and that Ive dropped more es in 200 words than a 90s rave dealer in Ibeefa.  When Husband got home this afternoon, he looked gorgeous, which didnt bother me at all. His meeting had been a success and we drank green tea by the pond, him talking about his meeting, me about how relaxed and not stressed I am.    We discussed current affairs and what to do if a bear is chasing you. I, knowing the answer, told him that if a bear    chases you that you must run downhill as bears have short legs and they fall over when running downhill.Oh! How we laughed when husband pointed out that there is nothing to verify this on the internet and that Ive probably been dreaming documentaries again. Clever Husband. Of course, none of his laughing bothered me, being the Zen-like entity I am, I was able to detach myself and rise above it.  Watching Husband in the garden, it became clear to me where I had gone wrong. The zen thing was too much too soon. Hooking me up to a lavender drip and shagging me with a panpipe wouldnt have worked, so a cuppa green tea and some humming was never going to do it.  I cant tell you the exact moment that caused me to snap and lock him out of the house and glue his house key to a plate, but I can tell you I feel better for it.  In short, Ive learned something today. Being a hippy sucks camel dick. It is far more satisfying to make your husband post every item of his new outfit through the cat-flap (in exchange for the use of a key that has not been glued to a plate) than it is to take the high road. Hows that for a fucking mantra?   YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife  OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER@CrapWife  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk   craphousewife.blogspot.com       It would seem that the hole wasnt a great idea. The dog fell in it and tracked mud through the house. Still, the look on husbands face will make up for having to hoover for the umpteenth time today, wont it?   Youre the best he said as he came through the door You didnt have to hire someone to dig the hole, I was going to do it as a surprise for your birthday! Youve always wanted a pond.   I havent. I have never wanted a pond. Ever. We have three cats and a white dog that falls in holes.Its not practical.   And whos Gary Mole? The service was amazing, he even sent me a letter to tell me that the work was going ahead.     Its at times like these I wonder is it really worth it? I feel like nothing I do is having an effect. Im no closer to breaking him now than I was 3 years ago, yet somehow, hes about 16.4 miles nearer to breaking to me. CrapWife is growing disheartened. And Husbands a knob.   Somewhere during the course of this process weve turned into Wiley Coyote and Road-Runner. Im only ever one cheerful text message away from blowing myself up with some Acme dynamite or launching myself off a cliff.   Great. I say. I found him in the yellow pages.  <br>  Well youve been saying that we dont have room for the fish tank- we can put them in the pond now. Itll be lovely. You ruined thesurprisethough.   I am wondering if the holes big enough to bury him in.  Husband shows me the stuff hes bought for my birthday present The filtration system looks expensive, pond liners arent cheap and there are enough plants and gravel chippings to colonise the (super) moon.  Not only have I once again failed in breaking him, Ive probably done myself out of the handbag I actually wanted.  Husband took a half day from work to go and buy this stuff. Hes been out there for hours and has created a sickeningly attractive water feature. The fish wont be in there for another few weeks he tells me, the pond has to mature first. Hes really excited. Hes worked so hard.   You eyes look red, you need to take your contacts out for a while and give them a rest, youve got that meeting first thing and you look like a junkie- got to bed, Ive got a few bits to finish up here, I wont be long     Poor husband has terrible mole-like eye sight and I worry about his eyes. He usually sleeps in his contact lenses and on the rare occasions he takes them out, I have to help him in the morning as he cant see to switch the kettle on, let alone get himself dressed. This is why hiding his contact lenses may have been a tad cruel.  It is for this reason that he probably wont notice that Ive shortened the arms and legs on his suit by an inch. I figure if I also set his alarm for thirty minutes later than usual, hell probably not notice the Gay Porn magazines in his briefcase either.   In a rare attack of conscience, I decide to leave his emergency glasses available. I cant remember where Ive put them though, and I probably wont remember until about 3 minutes before hes leaving the house. I've painted the frames of his emergency glasses with opaque pink nail-varnish- to show my gratitude for all his hard work. As a final thank you (and acting on the innovative suggestion of one of the Crap Wife facebook followers) I draw large cocks on all the bank notes in his wallet. Oh to be a fly on the wall at tomorrow's breakfast meeting.   YOU CAN ADD CRAPWIFE ON FACEBOOK BY SEARCHING FOR Daily CrapWife  OR FOLLOW ON TWITTER@CrapWife  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Blog can be found in its original format at  www.crapwifeblog.co.uk  and at http://craphousewife.blogspot.com/2011/03/shoddy-work-mr-mole-its-what-sundays.html            A Sunday morning in bed is a beautiful thing. Its on Sunday mornings that Im most grateful that we went down the three cats, 1 dog and an indiscriminate amount as fish route as opposed to the lets have a baby one. For now anyway. This means that I have no stress on a Sunday, and am able to enjoy my day without distraction and be free from responsibility. Usually, anyway. This Sunday Im tamping, because of the mole.  I expected husband to be furious, instead, he was amused.      That moles getting shoddy, werent even proper mole hills he commented over breakfast.  I feigned disinterest and went in the bath.  We spent the rest of the day with my Grandparents. We went to a car-boot sale, had lunch and walked by the sea. Refreshed and calmed by the salty air I was a perfect Wife throughout; attentive, caring and affectionate.  In the evening, we talked, looked at old photos and shared a bottle of wine. We went to upstairs happy, and for once, I didnt subject Husband to a gruelling ritual of embarrassment in exchange for access to the bed. He kissed me good-bye this morning and told me that he loves me.   Monday 21th March, 2011    Dear Mr ######,<br> First let me introduce myself, I am a local mole, whos been providing subterranean ventilation for lawns in the area for a number of years. I pride myself on my work, and have been instrumental in such local projects as Grass Verge by Canal and Green number 1 at South West Wales Garden Bowls Emproium. I am proud of my work, have a strong family history in the field and have a proven record with my clients.    That is why this letter is so difficult for me to write.    Lately, I have been overloaded with contracts and as such have become shoddy with my work. Where I used to dig complex tunnels and truly ventilate gardens, the recession has meant downsizing my workforce, and I resorted to fraudulent mole hills to meet demands.    Im ashamed of my behaviour and am contacting my clients in the hope that they will understand that I was driven to this by the pressures associated with a wife and 38 children under the age of one.    In an effort to make amends and re-establish myself as the diligent lawn ventilation specialist you've come to respect, I have taken the liberty of digging a large hole in the centre of your lawn. I hope this goes some way towards rekindling the professional relationship I jeopardised.<br> Yours Sincerely,<br> Gary.   Ive sent this letter via courier to Husbands place of work. He should receive it within the hour. I'm not digging the hole myself, I have paid a Handy Man to do it, I'm going to paint my nails.            ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Had a lovely lie in this morning and Husband brought me tea in bed. I love Saturdays. Im in a great mood- despite the fact that hes unwilling to break, I love having him home with me and like nothing more than spending time with him. Husband, miraculously, says he feels the same.  Im in annoying over-drive today and have spent nearly an hour making noises that irritate him. My favourites to dates are baby crying and the ever popular      Noingnoingnoingnoingnoingnoingnoingnoingnoing.   Husband as usual is in unshakable mode.   <br>  Thats a nice song, did you write it?    Yeah I did actually, I wrote it for you because I love you so much. I also wrote Candle in the    Windregardless of what Elton John says. I sent it to him anonymously because I didnt want to be famous, you know, cause Im shy and stuff. <br>   Youre very clever wife, what did I do to deserve someone like you? <br>  <br> Something really good probably, like winning a Peace prize or inventing Xbox.   <br>        About two weeks after we moved into this house we woke to find our lush green lawn had erupted in muddy earth explosions. Husband assured me that no, this wasnt the work of Al-Qaeda, and that it was more likely we had a mole than a terrorist cell operating in the garden. I remained unconvinced until Husband became obsessed with the creature and woke me at 4am every day to join him on a reconnaissance mission. For nearly a week we were up at stupid oclock being still and quiet waiting for the mole to show its furry face. On the seventh day, I was forced to admit that the culprit did look more like a mole than Osama Bin Laden, however, I stand firm, the similarity is uncanny.    Husband was dismissive of my suggestions to phone the Army and opted instead for a more home-guard approach. While I was looking in the yellow-pages for the boss of the Paratroopers, Husband was ordering a humane mole trap from Amazon. Surprisingly, the mole trap arrived before Regimental HQ in Hampshire returned my call.  This was nearly a month ago, and the mole has long since moved on, Husband assures me that he was not harmed and simply wanted a change of scenery. I'm pleased that I dont have to get up and stare at grass at 4am anymore.  Since this little blip, Husband has been painstakingly planting grass seed and manicuring the green, green grass of home. Hes nursed the battlefield back to health and healed the scars it once bore. Im so proud of him.  I was up at four this morning. Like a Paratrooper on leave creeping out of an ugly birds bedroom, I stealthily went to the garden. Silently I moulded compost into mole-hill shaped mounds and deposited them onto the lawn. The mole managed to break husband, and Im not being beaten by a fucking rodent.

                <description><![CDATA[        You may notice that Im a few hours late uploading this blog instalment. I dont want to make excuses, but it really isnt my fault. I completed the blog around 11.30pm and was happily proof reading when a little chat box popped up asking  Do you want to chat?  Yes I thought, theres nothing I like more than a chat, Ive got a cup of tea, a packet of fags, and a few minutes to spare before bed- maybe its one of the readers from the blog, maybe they have an great idea or story to share...!  I clicked on the box and was told that Laura was single and in my area. Pretty girl, little bit forward, but were all young once.  How are you, Laura  I asked?  Horny and single  was the immediate response. Not quite what I was expecting, but right-oh.   Oh right, what are you up to? I tentatively typed.<br>  Looking for fun. She replied. <br>  Ah, something I can relate to, Im always looking for fun. Never one to miss an opportunity for self promotion, I typed:   You should read my blog- there are plenty of ideas in there about how to keep from being bored...   <br>     Do you like webcam?  She answered.  Now I dont know about you, but Im highly suspicious of my web cam. I see it as a little ticking time bomb that could ruin my life at anytime. Im only ever a mouseclick away from being by broadcast in my SpongeBob pyjamas because Ive hit the wrong key trying to play pacman. Its for this reason Ive covered it with a Dennis the Menace plaster, prevention is better than cure and so on.   Im highly suspicious of them Laura, if you are too, then I have a spare Dennis the Menace plaster you can have if youre passing.   Laura sent me a link which I closed down immediately   Thanks for the offer, Laura, but Im not really in the mood to watch your home videos at the moment, Husbands V+ed Silent Witness and were going to give that a bash.   <br>    Laura must have been offended by this because she wouldnt speak to me anymore and just kept sending me pop up boxes. After closing 14 webcab offers, two competitions to win an ipad and a series of ringtone downloads my laptop was running less efficiently that it once had been.  I put it down to experience and carried on proof reading the blog. I got about half way through when another box popped up on my screen commencing cache dump.  Im no Bill Gates but even I knew that wasnt a good thing. My blog disappeared, along with my photos, recipes and emails.         Fuck.  Husband knows the laptops got Aids.   Recovered blog:   <br>    Husband had barely spoke a word to me when we got back from Tesco, we drank wine in silence, he didnt give me a foot rub and when we went to bed he didnt check the spare room for orbs which he usually does for me when weve been watching Most Haunted . He went to work this without saying goodbye- he thought I was sleeping, but I wasnt I was laying there thinking about what I had done, thoroughly ashamed of myself and my actions.  I got up, made coffee and decided to embark on a quest of self improvement. I made a list of all the things Ive done wrong and vowed to correct them before I lost the respect of those who love me grow weary of my failings.  As such, I hereby promise that I will step up the campaign to break the husband and blog about it with more regularity. Im sure you agree that a bit of the silent treatment really isnt good enough.  I will make my pranks more outlandish and creative and try to post the report at a more conventient time of day. I will pay more attention to my use of commas and not skimp on details.  Within an hour of writing my new charter I received a text from husband   Sorry I was so quiet last night, had a hard day at work and that prick in Tesco pissed me off by laughing at you when I told him that you were too embarrassed to pay for your shopping yourself. Cant wait to see you later, well watch that Justin Bieber DVD if you want?   Fucking, fucking husband.  Im tamping that the Bieber debacle backfired and have set about planning a long overdue housewarming party in order to cheer myself up. I want to do something a little different and decide on an Elfs themed costume extravaganza.I ring the husband to tell him my idea:   Brilliant, we can invite everyone, itll be a hell of a laugh- only thing is, if youre doing it on that Friday, I wont be finishing work til 10 so youll have to start without me. He says   Husband- theres no way I can make everyone dress up as Elfs and then have you walk in at 10 in your work clothes on.  Ever the considerate husband he comes up with a solution all on his own.<br>   I know! I can change in the toilets at work and just drive home in my costume, if you want? Will that make you feel better?   Clever Husband.  Early evening he rang me to say hes found an amazing Elfs costume online. It comes with shoes and hat and will be here by Tuesday. Hes really excited for the party, bless him, Husband loves any excuse for fancy dress.  I wonder will this still be the case when he walks into our Elvis themed party dressed like an Elf?

                <description><![CDATA[    Ive been really fancying chilli con carne for some reason and unfortunately the cupboards at home are as bare as the protective coating on my final nerve. After adding Tabasco sauce to toast, crisps and mashed potato I realise that Im going to have to bite the bullet and bring the weekly shop forward a day- I know, maverick behaviour. Being the ever considerate wife I am, I decide that I will do the shopping and time it so that all hubby has to do is meet me at the check out and help me pack.    Husband hates food shopping with me. This is because a month ago we argued over the merits of Welsh butter versus English, when he was off looking for a mango I told the store manager that husband was a stranger whod followed me in from the street. I also hide from him. You may ask how a fat bird with a trolley can do this is an open plan super market? The answer is... head for the tampons. Hell never go there voluntarily.     Husband is on a somewhat odd shift pattern at the moment, and as such, to coincide with him finishing work, I have become a late night shopper. For me, there used to be no greater pleasure than heading to Tescos after 10pm to find a store free from screaming kids and pensioners prodding the pork chops. I find in recent months though, this is no longer the case. The supermarkets are as busy at 10pm now as they would be on a Saturday morning after a half inch of snow. Its madness. This isnt my biggest peeve though, not even close. What really pisses me off about shopping in the late evening is the fact that youre made to feel like youve walked in on a staff party and asked the cabaret act to help you find the tinned peas.  Tonight was no exception. As I listened to Hardcore Bass Volume 4 (while squeezing avocados) I felt the familiar tingle that indicates that the protective film over my final nerve has dissipated. I imagine this to be how the ozone layer over Calcutta feels. Continuing the multi cultural comparisons, the Mayan pyramid of fucking boxes between me and the kidney beans is what finally snaps me.I no longer feel able to face anything as taxing as the weekly shop and so abandon my trolley in favour of a basket and revert to what i know best. Plotting to break the husband.  With 14 minutes to spare I make myself busy picking up items with the gay abandon of Lindsey Lohan in a Jewellers. I find a quiet spot (by the tampons) and begin to sabotage the barcodes on my items.  I spend the three minutes left watching to see which till is screeching unexpected item in bagging area with the most frequency.  One minute remaining to marvel at the familiar sight of half of South Wales police heading for the Hustlers Burger Fridge (if Husband does ever flip and stab me, I sincerely hope its in Llansamlet Tesco as it has the strongest police presence of anywhere Ive ever been before, including Nottinghill Carnival.)  Husband rings to ask where I am:  <br> Just heading to the til, love- would you mind if I leave you with the shopping and go sit in the car- my knees killing me <br>   No worries babe, see you in a second. <br>  I arrange our bags for life onto the packing area and scan the scallops, lamb joint and bleach thus committing him to the transaction. As he walks in, I head towards him, pointing at the til and grabbing the car keys on my way .   See you in five, husband.   Of course I didnt go straight to the car, I instead watched through the window opposite his til. Hed scanned the second cucumber before he saw the three tubes of KY jelly, mansize box of Kleenex and Justin Bieber Teen Idol DVD. By this time assistance was already on its way.  I wish I could tell you what was said between him and Darren here-to-help but hes not spoken to me since.

                <description><![CDATA[ I was asked today if Husband had realised that I would be systematically humiliating him by blog when he said I do. After some thought I concluded that since he was unable to decipher my dulcet Welsh tones until a week last Monday, probably not. Its going to be an interesting day in the CrapWife household when he realises that what he assumed to be a traditional Welsh greeting was actually me telling him I used to be a man, in a broad Swansea accent.  My mood was utterly buoyant this morning, I found it easy to be happy when Husband unwittingly left fo <br>  r work with a DVD stuffed with ham salad and a quid glued to a lemon (to buy Doritos with in case the DVD didnt fill him up.)      The mood however, was short lived. My animals are ruining my life. I know Ive already mentioned the dog  , but I dont think Ive brought up the cats- thats because 2 out of 3 of them hate me. All three cats are second hand,  we inherited two from friends, and the other one just turned up and never left. As per usual circle of life rules, the cats hate the dog, and the dog (being French) is terrified of the cats. This wasnt really a problem, until Carlo came to stay. Were now cat sitting and its the diplomatic equivalent of arranging a seating plan at a Welsh/English wedding during Six Nations Season.  I found a balance around midday where the cats had the conservatory and the dog stayed in the living room with me. About an hour in to this treaty, I notice that there is a lot less light in the conservatory than there used to be. The reason for this appears to be four large tom cats, previously unknown to my garden, sitting on its roof.  I now suspect that Carlos, the greasy Mexican lodger, is pimping out the girl cats. I cant say Im bothered, as long as I get a cut.Atext from the cats owner confirmed that yes; Carlos has been known to dabble in the gutter trades. Its obvious to me that his Bordello attitude is symptomatic of a traumatic early life experience. Im going to ring my mother and see if she can run a risk review and perhaps recommend a counsellingservice.         As if my day hadnt been frustrating enough, I am now 100% sure that Husband is toying with me.   This afternoon, while drinking a premixed Margarita that tasted like sweat,I received a text:    Deconstructed sandwich was a great idea, thanks babe. Cheers as well for putting a DVD in- managed to swap it with Dai for Paranormal Activity 2- we can watch it later? X     He didnt mention the lemon.
