Well I paid a price for the last post, 2 comments were deemed unacceptable. I immediately lost 10 points leaving me 11 short of getting back to a degree of comfort.
I was given 2 choices of punishment, loose 2 x 10 points for the comments or be tethered with a chain to the pipes in the kitchen and sleep on the floor with only a large towel.
I choose the kitchen floor option as I really want to earn back my socks, this was very uncomfortable and I really didn’t sleep at all, however I was in the right place to prepare the breakfast and my my wife’s packed lunch which she was very happy with.
I was unlocked from the chain and given my list of tasks, alongside my normal daytime work. All was going well, I completed my day’s work by about 1pm and had lunch, now for the housework… no! I decided to have a lie down for an hour giving me plenty of time to do all the tasks on the list. You can probably guess what happened, yep I over slept and woke to the noise of the front door opening some 3 hours later, no tasks done, no dinner preparations, I’m in big trouble again.
No points awarded for breakfast, lunch (even though it was perfect) and a further -10 for not doing tasks and late dinner. 24 hours has seen me 1 point away form getting back my socks to now being 21 points away. I have to try harder, but I feel I am doing my best against the odds. Since the points system has been introduced my wife has been very strict, but at the same time fair.

Everything back to normal (well as best it can be), I have been working all evening (hence the late reply) to complete the day’s tasks for free – no points, but I can sleep in our bed. Only need to collect 21 points, not sure if I can earn 21 points by tomorrow evening, but I am going to try and I am going to try not to make any mistakes as these are costly as I’ve just found out again today.
