    Is the camouflage an effort to make him heard but not seen?

    I think they may have been because I asked him to put them away somewhere and rather than do that he decided it was easier to just put them on.:rolleyes:

    The only downside I can see is if the rain comes from the side then your washing will ge wet regardless!

    Arrgghh! My boiler has broken down, no heating or hot water for us. Anyone know how much it costs to get someone to come and look at a boiler? *sob* x x

    What's the symptoms?

    That would be rubbish Sally - as well as rain we get lots of wind so the washing would be blowing up and get soaked. Thanks anyway! Maybe I should get something like Z's suggestion and make sides for it...

    Hello!!!

    Hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm happy because I finally got my share money, all £846 in the bank. It means that I can pay my bills before the 8th when they are supposed to be due instead of missing a month!

    Thank God! Missing a month is not the end of the world, but I've never done it before so I was really worried and down about it.

    Deep breaths BOB. And start from the beginning. What has he done? Is he taking you for granted? Or is he taking the rise?

    If i start at the beginning Z we will be here all day..he is just taking me for granted as usual...I think it is our age. The wifey does even if she is working..because he comes in too late and it is perfectly reasonable in his books to think oh well that lets me off everything:mad:
    All his washing built up because he bypasses the washing machine for the laundry cupboard..i get fed up of it, wash it, then it stays in the ironing basket until it embarrisingly flows over because he can only iron one thing at a time and it is still only front, collar and cuffs....
    I do iron as i go along normally but today was mind blowing as his ironing was in piles on the bed and it covered it..no thanks nowt:mad:
