My husband is terrible...

[judydawn]

In the 7 cruises I've done throughout my lifetime Gretchen, I have never entered the library.  I don't mind a good book but can always find something else to do other than read. When I'm older and perhaps housebound, maybe then but with my luck, I'll probably have very poor vision by then

Yes indeed Gretchen. With Christmas coming up-start dropping hints.
That was a good move marrying into 'the airline industry' as it were. Maybe next time round ha ha ha ha.

I guess I would be propping up the bar!

Had the best email with Senility jokes that goes along these lines - might have to start a jokes thread.

Good on you Gretchen.  I get lots of Frequent Flyer points as I have bills that I can pay with credit cards and so only fly when I have amassed enough points to go Business.  Used to be First when i travelled alone  - but now with 2 it takes a lot of points.  No trips for a year or so until I get a lot more points after this year.

MrsT has a friend who married a pilot - lots of flights for her.  Luxury.

Well, I am one of the individuals who is "not fond" of flying - at least on commercial flights.   I went on one cruise, didn't care for it, too "managed" - although one of my friends keeps trying to get me on one of the long cruises on a cargo ship that also carries passengers - maximum number 30!  She has great fun but she likes that sort of thing.  She is my age but at just about every port will go dancing with the young officers.  Not my thing at all!

I guess we're different yet again. I love flying but DH hates it so we go everywhere with our caravan on behind us. I love those sorts of holidays too as we meet so many lovely people. The next trip will have Termite coming with us. He's opnly been to Monkey Mia with us so far.

When I was still showing my basenjis, I had a large motorhome and drove thousands of miles, rather like a snail, taking my home with me.
I usually did all the driving, unless someone was traveling with me that I trusted to drive the "great behemoth" safely.  As many of my friends also motorhomed to these events, we would form a little compound at the show grounds, usually requesting adjacent parking when such was reserved and not first-come-first-served.   We would have communal meals, cookouts and so on.  Lots of fun, good companionship and often help with the dogs...  I rarely traveled with less than four, usually more.   In the '70s, when my kids were still at home, I was limited to a station wagon and later a van and mostly short trips, two dogs at most because in those days I had great danes.  With two of those, and two teens, I was severely limited in space.

Think there should be enough material for a film with 2 dogs, 2 teenagers and travel to dog shows

Other exhibitors used to look at all the stuff I had in my set up and wonder how I had managed to get it all in a station wagon.
(it was a very large one, a Chrysler 9-passenger, and it did have a roof rack, but still it was not as roomy as the van which replaced it.)
The kids like the van because it had a small generator and a small TV so they could watch it while I was showing the dogs. 
I actually was in one movie.  If you ever saw the film "The Black Marble" I am in the background in three shots, holding two great danes on leashes and a basenji puppy in one arm.  No credit though.

Being organised -which you obviously are !!

Lucky you HellyBelly!

As TM is not sold in BigW, I am extremely unlikely to get one for Christmas (cost factor aside!).  My Santa only shops at BigW....the closest shop to us! 

Ok...quoting myself here.....(from page 2)

Guess who is getting a thermomix for her birthday? 

So this belongs in "My husband is terrible..."!  He has it ordered and we'll be getting it in the New Year!  I'm kinda nervous about it as I want to really make sure that I use it well to justify it!

So there you go.....he didn't shop at BigW only this year!

HAPPY THERMOMIXING BIRTHDAY to you Amanda

What a wonderful husband Nellista. Don't worry, once you start using it you won't be able to stop and it will be worth every cent. I really appreciated mine this Christmas as I was comfortable using it and it was exactly like a 2nd pair of hands in the kitchen.
