Well it all started with me being generous to my son when I gave him our 3 piece suite.
new sofas £1,300, then she wanted new cushions to put on it, £100, the cushions do not go with the curtains she says. another £120, nets look tatty now, £45, the curtains clash with the wallpaper £185, might as well paint the woodwork while you are at it,£45. While I am busy decorating, I lose a weeks work £800 and she is out buying some new house plants to 'cheer' the place up, £50 plus another £35 for some pot holders that match the decor. Then some new pictures to further enhance the new look.
Where are you going? I hear as I come in. I'm going to sit down I reply. OH NO YOU DON'T, you are not sitting in that room with those dirty clothes on and change your shoes before you go in, Ive just bought a new rug, £90. Good job I had the forsight to invest in wi fi as it works in the shed where I have been banished until I treat her new room with respect.
Still it ain't too bad in here, I could fix up some optics on the wall and the old fridge is full of beer plus the added bonus of no dirty looks when I light up my ciggies. No dog for company though, you can guess where he is.
Misplaced Generosity...
:-X
Misplaced sofa!
So sorry, Ace, but can't stop giggling!!! Could you not use the old nets and curtains in the shed to make it feel more like home!!
Ava would think your wife and I were seperated at birth! :-\
Ace - DID YOU FAIL TO REALISE AT THE ALTER YOU WERE MARRYING A WOMAN????? LMAO
I still say you are married to a clone of my mother! hehehe. My dad has been banished from 'drinking' on the sofa, he has to sit on the floor since he fell asleep with a glass of red wine in his hand!
I know how you feel ACE...... water dripping in the hall when OH had a shower....oops, best replace the mastic round the bath..........£500 (and 2 weeks work) later, newly rebuilt and decorated bathroom!!!!!!!
All women must be clones of one basic type( i dont mean eve) that was developed to give us the lifestyle they want. ;D 8)
bit of a role reversal in our household!
I do the DIY stuff while OH watches and helpfully tells me when I'm doing it wrong.
and I'm the one who traipses mud into the house and dribbles food onto the sofa, his pride and joy!
Ace, I am sure you think you have a justified grumble in here somewhere but I can't seem to find it despite many reads.
I do think it is so important to recognise the peculiar complaints men find about their wives behaviour but as far as I can see 'she' did more or less exactly what I would have done.
However, I would suggest that you enjoy your shed, and perhaps take the dog who is sitting on the new settee in with you for as long as you can because if 'she' was me I would be starting on that next!!!!
XX XXX XXXX Jeannine!!!!
