Stavross 15,783 Posted Monday at 18:09 Report Share Posted Monday at 18:09 As much as I love Mrs Stav I can not work with her or have her anywhere near me when I’m doing any DIY task, I’d planned to start stripping wallpaper and painting today before the new carpet, sofa and furniture turns up in a few weeks, but she informed me she was working from home today, so I’ve sat in my chair and watched sh*te on the box all day, I’ll make a start on my big list of jobs tomorrow when she’s out the house 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't ever work with the wife on DIY, it normally starts with her making an illogical suggestion me pointing it out her having a huff and me cracking on, I don't do decorating though and she can paint whatever she wants whatever colour, we're more of a tag team, she generally starts a job makes it so dangerous that I then have to pull my finger out or be liable for it, she's a good motivator . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaaark 10,809 Posted Monday at 19:09 Author Report Share Posted Monday at 19:09 It's not that I don't appreciate her trying to help, and to be honest, I'm quite fond of the little nerk, but my god, sometimes she's enough to make half of the gibberish Gooey writes on here make sense!! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couple of months back the missus was on about the upstairs toilet , we were stood in kitchen , bog directly above us and she started arguing that it was at the otherside of the house I had to walk away , sometimes it's funny , she wasn't laughing though... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd keep an eye on that one if I was you mate . When my mrs made toast , it was warm bread . It took me ages to convince her that it needs to be brown . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is exactly the same as that, if on the rare occasion she does herself some toast she turns the toaster right down so it’s just warm bread, I’ve told her she might as well just wave the bread in front of a light bulb for a bit 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
