Compulsive Something Or Another.

After I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my wife kindly purchased a tablet dispenser.
The dispenser which is split into the 7 days of the week, with each day separated into two compartments, allowing the splitting up of the morning dose, from the evening dose.
The dispenser was kept behind the fruit bowl, on the breakfast bar in the kitchen.
Men are not as tidy as women.
I quickly noticed that after I took my tablets and left the dispenser out, it found its way back to behind the fruit bowl, in a very short space of time.
I experimented by leaving it out further and further away from the fruit bowl, but incredibly it always found its way back.
This got me thinking.
I enjoy a relaxing soak in a Radox bath.
Following on from the tablet dispenser experiment, I noticed that the Radox bottle seemed to reappear right in the corner of the bath, irrespective of where I left it.
I conducted a comprehensive experiment on this.
No matter whether I left it a couple of inches, or feet away from the corner, by the time I next visited the bathroom, there it was back in the corner.
I even tried moving it to completely the other end of the bath, right next to the soap dish.
It still found its way back.

My actions eventually resulted in the last straw.

There is a unit at the back of our bathroom, that stretches the full width.
The primary purpose of this unit is to cover the toilet cistern.
We have a conch shell that we brought back from Antigua sitting on top of it.
I therefore hid the Radox bottle behind the conch shell.
Unfortunately the Radox bottle was taller than the shell.
I therefore compensated for this by balancing an air freshener on top of the shell to completely hide the Radox.
This was no mean feat, because as you may be aware, a conch shell has quite a bumpy surface.

I knew the game was up when my poker concentration was interrupted by wife bursting into the living room shouting "THERES SOMETHING F..K..G WRONG WITH YOU"

Mrs Hayes has maintained for many years that she deserves a medal for putting up with me.
Who could reasonably argue with that.

    Never a truer word. The poor woman deserves a Dame-hood, never mind a medal.

    If she has any sense I doubt she engages in debate with him. That would be unwise.

    That would have definitely resulted in a divorce.

    Although she has had plenty of time to regret this during the 5 years since I retired.

    Definitely.

    I must admit that Mrs Hayes couldnt be described as an avid reader of any of the Brexit threads on the forum.

    No doom and gloom in my house.

    I will have to investigate the cucumber scandal.
