differences between men and women and grocery internet shopping

Jan 22
The good news is that I have found my first blog (reproduced at end of this one ). The bad news (for me) is that the flu jab has adversely affected my mobility. However, I am improving slowly so watch this space.
Yesterday, lovely husband had to go out to do some work so cleaner/friend/carer came round to help me. Why is it that when I ask her to do a few chores she just does them whereas lovely husband can only do one thing at a time. Example I want a book taking into the other room and a cup of coffee from the kitchen. He wants to take book to its destination nd ,then report back for next instruction. If I try to save him time and effort by giving him two interconnectingbnstrucions at once he gets stressed and says 'I can only do one thing at a time. He puts it down to man's originswhere the hunter (male of course) had to remain focussed on the task in hand and not think about anything else in order to kill the next meal or avoid being killed himself. When I tell cleaner/friend/carer about his shortcomings she says resignedly 'Well what do you expect! He's a man!
Another area where men and women are at cross purposes is dealing with life problems. A woman wants talk and feedback and discussion whereas a man wants to solve the problem and go on to the next thing. Example
Woman ' I don't know whether to invite the Gibbs or the Lawrences for dinner?
Man W'hy not 'Invite them both'. And that as far as he is concerned is that, and he wants no further discussion. He has provided a simple solution and he doesn't want totalk about it any more.
Woman 'Oh no you dont1'
We need to discuss this further. 'We owe the Gibbs but the \Lawrences are much more fun. Will having them all together make the Gibbs more fun or vice versa? And shall we have that new chicken dish from The Times'
Man Whatever!
Anyway, back at the our house, the supermarket shoppiing has been delivered. A word to those of you planning to go in this direction. Make sure you click the items box and not the kilograms when ordering 5 carrots.
'Is it buy 3 get one free'said my cleaner/friend/carer rather perplexed, looking at at 4 bags of grapes.
Here is my first blog as promised-
January 19
Hallo everyone!
This is just the diary of a person with ms who is leading a normal life without concentrating too much on medication, non-existent cures or special non-tasty diets.I try to concentrate on the nice things in life like cashmere sweaters.coffee and Belgian chocolates (though I did read the other day that chocolate causes ms!)
I am challenged by ms yes but everyone is challenged by something. My mother who lived 100 years in rude health was challenged by having a nervous disposition, never having enough money and by having to livethe last 30 years of her life without her lovely husband.I have a lovely husband, a lovely house and enough money. I am not in pain and I can hear. I've just been through a phase of optic neuritis where I could not see so well but I have come out of it. And on the way I acquired a dinky gadget for listening to talking books (which I love)and a new conservatory..
We came to a decision 4 years ago not to attempt to go on holiday as my husband doesn't like keaving the house. The things I liked best about holidays was finding somewhere nice to sit with a nice book. I can do that in the conservatory with my MP3 player (sounds like Cluedo.)
