Re: Row row row your boat gently down the stream
Au Contraire, my child. You will be getting the firewood, cooking our meals and getting heather for my bed! I am sure Anita will have her own list of chores for you!Ming wrote:Story of my life - I was!Anita Bensoussane wrote:Hope you weren't under the impression that you could just sit back, trailing your hands in the water!

Re: Row row row your boat gently down the stream
Yes, I can think of plenty! Scrubbing the boat, catching fish, mending Nigel's torn dresses ([Nigel:] I am sure Anita will have her own list of chores for you!
), washing up...Anita

Re: Row row row your boat gently down the stream
Hee hee - my "chores" sound rather less strenuous than Nigel's! 
Anyway Ming, you're Jack Trent the adventurous one so you can do all the dangerous, difficult and dirty jobs. Nigel is Elizabeth Farrell the writer, so he can keep the log book and tell stories round the campfire. I'm Miss Grayling, so I'll just give orders and make sure they're obeyed!

Yeah, Ming; in your dreams. You might think you're Queen of the East, but on our expedition you'll do as you're told! Anita and I are wearing the dresses, you have just got a rope around your waist. I guess you'd better start training!

Nigel emailed me and said, "Revenge!"
Revenge? Not really? It was supposed to make me angry, but it provided a good laugh!!
MY revenge!
