i am one of those that buys fabric as i need it for a project so dh can't complain. i made sure to show the stashes some of you had and after helping move his SIL's stash my few tubs of strips and scraps he doesn't mind. the part that would freak me out about any deal in exchange for him cooking is his cooking. he had to once after my operation he thought he got smart and got canned stuff at big lots and tried to have me eat that stuff till i opened every one and had him eat all of it for dinner.he didn't like it neighter but didn't dare not eat it, i talked him through making tuna sandwiches but he only will cook microwave yuckys or spam. none of which i eat or can eat being a diabetic. his cooking would kill me. he already has to do laundry with me cause we go to the laundry mat now and he turned his own pair of panties pink once so i was innocent though i threaten to sew pink lace on them if he couldn't get them inside the laundry hamper. so far haven't had to.lol guess he didn't want pimk lace panties or socks.
