We've been doing a lot of house cleaning here at the in-law's during the lockdown. A ton of unused <deleted> has been turning up, dishes, clothes, packed away in boxes. They're always complaining about money. Why not convert this <deleted> into some?

I said once this is over, we're gonna pack up the pickup and head to the market. I pulled out a few bowls and shirts, and started going "10 baht, 10 baht..." They looked at me like I was crazy. What, it's just gonna keep sitting here doing nothing?

The Thai face saving thing, or thinking they had once spent more money on it, or just liking to hoard. I really dunno.

Yeh I hear you - weird stuff they think at times.  There are a lot of 'used stuff' shops in western countries and lots of 'used markets'.  Not much in Thailand - try finding used golf clubs.

So about an hour ago I noticed 3 bananas the gf had placed on the counter, and saw that they were over ripe.  I asked her what her plans were, she looked up from the couch and said trash bin. Instead I took them, mashed them up and made some Banana bread muffins to have with my coffee.  She came into the Kitchen to see what the smell was and started to cry.  I asked her why she was crying and she said I was replacing her in the kitchen.  I told her no way, I just wasn't going to bin 15 baht in bananas.....????,  plus I don't have to have my coffee with toast like she makes in the morning.  As I write this she has eaten 2 muffins and is accusing me of making her fat.....so yep no more kitchen privileges for me.....????

Keep it up and you might be losing bedroom privileges also:tongue:

Come to think of it not keeping  "it" up might impact your bedroom privileges also. LOL

There is a glut this year, the trees are laden and little point taking them to the market.

My sister in law is turning them into a dried mango dessert and I am doing chutney and wine.

Give us a bottle if wine mate. You can bootleg the stuff, kinda thai version of Al Capone.

Loadsa customers just now.

You must be saving money somewhere?  For example we’re saving a fortune on fuel for the cars, not going out to eat or socialising, oh and of course you can’t buy beer either. Not all doom and gloom methinks !

Thinking of turning my leftover bacon grease into a bar of soap, at least if I die then I will smell good to the animals who can dig me up and eat my remains....

I hadn't realised there was an "if" option.

Im going to end up bankrupt if this goes beyond the end of the month with my wife all this online shopping shes on first name terms with the drivers from Lazada

The latest order is a new set of pans her excuse is she's had them ones for 5 years but there's nothing wrong with them,

The other day a new curling brush for her hair same excuse she's had the others 5 years

Seems like a box of something arrives from somewhere in Thailand last week a box of fruit from Nakorn Nayok 250 Baht a kilo

 

It's obvious you're joking (I hope) about going broke over pans and make up. I don't see what the big deal is.

You obviously have has a sense of humour bypass lol
