Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2

We moved to a bigger house, big enough for me, my wife, her daughter, husband and their kids aged 4 & 1.
Daughter said, “I’m getting a tumble drier”. I said “then you are paying the electricity bills”. She didn’t get a tumble drier. We have two washing lines and plenty of radiators. And they don’t understand saving power.
This was their part of the house one January evening…..
It wouldn’t be so bad, but they were all in the downstairs right hand room watching TV
10 windows in their part! Crikey you not kidding when you say a big house even by Pistonheads standards that looks impressive. Daughter said, “I’m getting a tumble drier”. I said “then you are paying the electricity bills”. She didn’t get a tumble drier. We have two washing lines and plenty of radiators. And they don’t understand saving power.

Back in the days when we used terry towel nappies instead of disposable (soft pr#cks) my mother asked the ex wife if she wanted her to buy her [b]another[/] dozen, no it's ok she replied, 12 should be enough.
Classic from the wife in the days before she could drive and when nobody had sat nav. We go to Dorset a lot on holiday, quite a drive from South Yorkshire. She asked me how I knew how to get there. When you set off she said how do you know what road to take, when I looked at her puzzled she went on that there are no signs to the Isle of Portland from Yorkshire, factually correct but I just couldn't be bothered so I just answered no you're right, there isn't.
To be fair this implies there are already a dozen, so “another dozen” won’t be required as “12 should be enough”Classic from the wife in the days before she could drive and when nobody had sat nav.

One of my four very different looking cars is in for repair and the mechanic messaged me today to say that he had not managed to finish and as he was away for the weekend it would be Monday when I get it back. Relayed this to SWMBO and she asked "which car is it" and I said just look out the window and see which one is not on the drive, the reply was "that won't help they all look the same to me"

Nearly, 2 are black and 2 are greyColour code your cars if you want her to take an interest.
There are some interesting greens, reds, blues and yellows around now.
Bonus is that she will know which one it is the car park, when you send her back to fetch something you forgot.
Of course, she might then have an opinion when it comes to buying time.
We have mint green (hers), silver, maroon and purple/turquoise.
Erin Dawes, to whom I am related by marriage, knows which

My wife told me that she'd tried to get into our son's red car after unlocking our red car using the remote fob. She couldn't work out why it wasn't opening until she unlocked it again and heard the other car 'beep'. 
I'd laugh knowingly here, but have on a number of occasions picked up the wrong Saab 9-5 keys, and wondered why the bloody things wouldn't fit in the ignition. We never lock the cars, so I have already sat down to drive before I have realised the issue. While the cars look the same apart from colour, it's not even as if the keys look the same - hers have all the buttons on the key, and a Waitrose loyalty tag on the ring, mine has the locking/unlocking part separate from the key.
Mrs. DG “What’s for dinner tonight.”
“What would you like?”
“Minced pork and mashed potato’s, do you need anything from the shops”
“Salted butter and bread, what time will you be home?”
“7 pm”
Food prepared, all ready to go, Mrs DG arrives at 8:30 pm, no butter or bread, lashing down with rain outside.
“Why didn’t you remind me?”
FFS, my fault again!
