I think that Tartarus's night on the slates might be a bit more, erm, INTENSIVE than your hubby's.

Last night he was out on the p*** with mates, so this morning I get up to find our dish-drying-racks and chopping boards have all been put in the dishwasher, for an extra clean (he does the water filter jug and the cutlery stackers monthly, too). Another time, after a boozey night out, I got up to all our son's toys having been re-organised - balls in one box, small toy cars in another, larger toy cars in a third - and boxes having been stacked neatly behind the sofa.
