    .......which saw me admiring the snake protruding from the chaps trousers. Turns out this was in fact the tail of a dragon, an easy mistake to make when viewed from below whilst holding a bucket, wishing you hadn't worn a white t-shirt and manky off white sports bra and ferverently hoping you wouldn't end up looking like a reject from a wet t-shirt contest.

    Tasty handyman, huh *dribble*... tell us more, moo....*settles in for story time*

    Plus...be honest...you were actually playing Twister with him, weren't you? Because try as I might, I can't see how you...*grabs bucket and tries to recreate scene*....I mean, exactly where were his trousers in all of this??! :D

    I didn't get any further than the quote 'which saw me admiring the snake protruding from the chaps trousers' ....There was more to moo's story? Are you sure? I'm still reeling from how moo's diary went from the everyday happening of ordinary folk to a full blown p*rn story without a titty bag in sight....

    Moo please don't think I am teaching you to suck eggs but have you or BIL considered linking the blog to Facebook thereby ensuring potential readership which is also free :D
    Many of the blogs I read are linked to FB. I confess though I am not sure how they do it :o
    There's an app you can use on FB called Networked Blogs. You set yourself up as the author and then everytime you post on Blogger it posts to your FB feed. I use it for my cardmaking blogs. It must be easy to use because I know how to do it ;)

    It is after the watershed I suppose :rotfl:which means that it's alright to have adult content.

    I never get a tasty fence-repairing handyman to fix my plumbing :( How do you get one? Do they advertise in yellow pages?

    Hello Moo & friends as a long time lurker I know how you all love to talk about knitting (I can't knit :o) and I thought you might be able to help this lady with her appeal. Thank you

    You clearly have a very limited imagination.

    Place chap in question on a pedestal (in this case a three rung ladder) which makes his waist level with your eyeballs and arrange it so that the dodgy pipe in question is above his head which means his arms are raised, much like his shirt and you have no option but to gaze upwards. Oh the things I have to endure at work.

    Generally word of mouth works v. well. When asked if I can recommend a handy man, decorator etc by parents its usually the goodlooking ones that spring to mind first......

    The tatooed plumber ... v. tasty (although a v. close encounter revealed he shaves his chest.... perve points deducted)

    The shirtless decorator comes a close second. Toned, tanned but a tad too hairy.

    Trouser snake man is just plain tasty and intelligent too which makes for an interesting conversation unlike the tatooed plumber whose conversation expands as far as body building and application of self-tan. Pure eye candy.

    The perks of my job clearly outweigh the crappy pay.

    Wales has shut for the day so spent the morning with the hound in the forest and am now enjoying the peace whilst the rest of the house Mario Karts.

    My wallet survived the food festival virtually unscathed. Pre-booking tickets meant I could pay with pay pal, the weekend was ridiculously wet and grotty so prices were vastly lowered to get shut of produce and booking the kids into the £1 cookery workshops covered lunch for three. I did splurge on a carrier bag of maple syrup coated popcorn which I got to make myself in a cauldron sized cooking pot whilst wearing a welders visor and matching gauntlets. Twas most excellent fun. Ate far too much, tried a vast variety of stuff but wasn't tempted to buy much at all. These things always seem to be tailored to carnivores.

    OHs bro departed well fed and happy as did the grandparents.

    Practiced my doggy first aid after the hound from hell nicked the tip of her tail and proceeded to run round the house slapping it against any and every flat surface she could find. The result was a whole lot of arterial spray on pretty much everything thanks to a cut so small I couldn't find it to do anything with it. Ended up padding her tail with a variety of scoks to give it chance to scab over.

    Spent this morning moving more hardcore the length of the garden. Means I'll get to spend the afternoon playing with a vibrator in the garden. Minds out of the gutter laydees, this is the sort you use to make sure paving can't be undermined by rabbits. After that theres the small matter of two tons of sand to level and a heck of a lot of 20kg paving slabs to shift and lay.
