Don't we usually sell up?...
Not now, not here...
I can't fold fitted sheets to save my life...
All too often the yoke breaks on my fried egg...
Double duvet covers are a nightmare to fit...
I can't sew...
I can't iron without putting everyone and everything at risk...
I can't find that thing I put somewhere for safe keeping...
I get upstairs and think, what did I come up here for?, and then when I'm downstairs again i remember what...
In a conversation I can't remember the name of a thing/person or place until I'm so far into another conversation, then it cones out as a blurted after thought...Colin Blunstone...
Really, is this the makings of man, or a dry run in preparation for the event of the superman...

They are our gifts!

Don't sweat the little stuff.
I fold the sheets to a certain degree,, when on the bed they stretch to no wrinkles.
Go gently putting the eggs in pan and avoid jagged edges
There is an easy of doing the duvet, but too long to explain,,i , have a king bed,even harder.
I WONT sew.
I don't iron, and anything i wear is never wrinkled,, it's all about how you deal with them when they come
out of machine,, trust me on that one.
as for remembering what i went up stairs for,, welcome to the club.
i used to remember where every nut &bolt was in the place,but now doh
I have a system for remembering names, it works most of the time.

Welcome to the over 60's !!handshake comfort

The eggs, if you do it fast ,it's better, breaking them slowly, could be what's wrong.

Meh, I don't worry about unimportant things.
Who gets hurt if your sheets aren't folded perfectly?
Who dies if you can't sew?
There are more important things in life.

Exactly.. as long as an Irishman can open a can of beer , or lay a patio , any other domestic skills are irrelevant!!

I'd say out,eggs aren't meant to be stored in a fridge. Free range eggs have a better taste & the shell is easier to crack though.
