Description
More and more men are leaving behind their mother's cooking and laundry skills without any idea of how to fend for themselves. Virtually idiot-proof and packed with straightforward and comprehensive information, this book should become a cultural classic no man can afford to be without. A humorous (yet entirely practical) guide for men - and the occasional woman - in desperate need of some household tips, "Household Management for Men" includes instructions on how to reheat a takeaway, the basics of ironing a shirt, all the gen on packing a suitcase, what the laundry labels on your clothes actually mean, and unravels the mystery of the vacuum cleaner. Not only will they never leave the toilet seat up again, they'll be the domestic god of the bathroom - and (in turn) every room in the house.
