Lovely surprise, and some aarrgghh moments

 Yesterday I had a lovely surprise - sister WhatsApped me to say she and her best friend were hoping to come down to see us, at the same time as husband's 2 sisters, brother and sister in law are coming in April.  It all hinges on sis's friend, who is the car driver as my sis doesn't drive, being able to get the time off work. **  Sis has provisionally booked a cottage just 5 mins walk from us, husband's relatives are staying in an Airbnb place at Blue Anchor bay, a few minutes drive away.  I should add that both my sis and friend and husband's relatives all know each other well, they all live close to one another up in the Midlands.  It'll be so nice to see them all, catch up and enjoy meals together here....if somewhat noisy and crowded!  Betty will be beside herself with excitement.

I'll suggest we all muck in with foods for buffet type meals, which I know they'll all be happy to do.  The thought of me having to cook meals for that amount of people brings me out in a cold sweat nowadays, although I'd have thought nothing of it years ago.

I'm doing a lot of tongue biting the past few days, husband is driving me nuts.  Yesterday I'd put washing on the line, husband took it upon himself to bring it all in after just 2 hours....he thinks he's being helpful but he's really not.  It wasn't yet dry, waistbands, collars and cuffs were all still wet, I had to put it all on the airer and in the airing cupboard to dry off.  I could have put it back out on the line, I suppose, it was just easier to do it indoors.  If only he'd ask me or even say what he intends to do first - but he never does....and I do mean never.  It's not the first time he's got washing in off the line without asking me first, he's done it several times.  Why he thought it would be dry after just 2 hours I don't know, he didn't even consider the time I expect.  And he seems incapable of telling whether something is dry or not by feeling it.  The day before, he'd wanted to order something on the Argos website, some kind of exercise equipment, a set of hand weights or something.  He rarely uses that website so didn't seem to know how to actually buy the item for click and collect, I showed him what buttons to press.  And then had to show him again a couple of times - I asked if he wanted me to do it but he insisted he was fine, he could do it.  But then somehow he ended up adding some other (unwanted) things to his virtual basket - when he came to checkout, the total said £145.99 instead of the £30-odd he was expecting to pay!  So I had to sort that out for him - it would have been so much quicker if he'd have let me do it in the first place.

Speaking of the washing, I have 2 washing bins in the bathroom - one for dark stuff, the other for lights, to make it quick and easy for me to sort a wash load out.  Husband always puts the wrong colours of his stuff in the wrong bins - don't ask me why, he's not colourblind🤷.  I often think it's a bit pointless me having the 2 separate washing bins, since I nearly always have to sort through the washing anyway.  

He also somehow managed to delete his Disney+ subscription off the TV, again not the first time he's done that, so muggins here has to put it back on for him each time.  Just think, if I didn't have to do all these things for husband, I'd be bored stiff with nothing to do!!!  Aaaarrrgggghh!

** Sis has just messaged me to say her friend has booked the time off work (she works nights and has just finished her shift), so it's all systems go!
