I received this text this morning and it made me smile:
Hi Paula! I’m listening while blitzing the house before picking my husband up from the airport. It’s his last week home before the Xmas! Hiding all pizza boxes under recycling! Yes the house is always this clean! Aileen from Kilkenny. Always loving the show xx
Aileen, your pizza boxes are my online shopping bags. This? Oh I’ve had this for ages! I wouldn’t mind but he wouldn’t care a jot but I know myself I spend far too much on disposable fashion!
I’m not the only one squirrelling away things from my loved ones...
- “Morning Paula...heehee my stash is wine... I only had a glass or 2, dunno where that empty bottle came from...” - Orla
- “Paula I don’t hide anything from my other half but together we have to hide stuff from the kids – there wouldn’t be a biscuit in the house if we left them in the press! We have turned into secret eaters!”
- “Paula if my boyfriend had any idea how much sugar I eat, I’d be so ashamed. I have an actual chocolate addiction and I scoff it when he’s not around!”
- “Paula last week, myself and my wife ate a packet of crisps each in the garage to get away from the kids. They take everything!”
- “Paula our little man is gone like Fr Jack with chocolate. He can hear you unwrap a bar of Dairy Milk at 50 paces. The missus almost got away with having two Lindt balls for herself but she made the rookie mistake of doing it on his side of the stair gates lol!”
- “Paula I recently bought a brand new set of golf clubs and told my wife they’re second hand. The lie is now out of hand and they were definitely too expensive and now I don’t know what to do. Moral of my story; don’t play golf, don’t get married and I suppose stop telling lies!” – Liar, Midlands
- “Paula I recently found out that my significant other hides wine gums from me in her car. In fairness, she does this because she likes the occasional sweet, whereas I attack a bag of gummy bears like a starved wolf!”
- “Paula I lived with my now-husband for almost a year before I found out about his love for Star Trek. I married a hot nerd!” - ..is he a casual fan or a full blown Klingon speaking member?
- “Paula it took me 4 years to tell my now wife that I do not like my sandwiches cut in half... she still brings it up.”
- “Paula I'm with that sandwiches cut in half lad. It's the most annoying thing ever. If God wanted up to eat sandwiches cut in half then he'd make the bread in halves!” - Niall in Tipp
- “Paula I went on a few dates with a guy who seemed normal but he was hiding the fact that he was an absolute TROLL. I checked his twitter and he spent his day tweeting horrible things to people online. FREAK.”
