how to embarrass your husband....

We went to get the tour of our new house yesterday. It's the first time we've seen inside it when not still being constructed (it's a new build). And it is lovely!
But all the floors are chipboard, so off we went to a big shop to look at some carpets etc. We were just wandering around, with me stroking the samples to get a feel for the carpets, when a salesman came up and asked if we'd like any help.
"Not at the minute, thanks, I'm just fondling the carpets"
Cue one red-faced salesman and husband immediately disowning me...

  1. I think that it is really important to get a feel for the carpets - and they wouldn't like it if you took your shoes off and walked on them [or even lay down and rolled around] so fondling seems the best option to me!!
    Presumably you won't be needing to buy a new BED for the new house? [you may have to shop for that alone, if you do!]

  2. No, we don't need a new bed. The last time we went bed shopping, mrpastasmissus embarrassed me enormously by insisting we couldn't buy a double bed unless we both lay on it at the same time....

  3. Sounds like the score is love-all then!
