Babygro! what a good idea.

Though I remember those tops that poppered beneath ones undercarriage (I could not work out a non-vulgar way of describing them :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: )
and it took flippin ages in the loo especially after a few drinks:rotfl:
There were discussions in Theatre Land as to how to cope with the queue taking twice as long as before.

Snaggles

Good luck Meyore, when's your interview?

November which feels like ages away!

Its doing some sorting for Royal Mail and I already work for the Post office so I don't have to do all the security checks again...:D

Morning all. I'm off to walk the dog in a minute.

My house is a complete tip and it's doing my head in. OH hasn't done a thing on the bedroom since last Friday and the carpet arrives next Friday. There is furniture and bedroom stuff everywhere. aarrgghhhhhhhhhh. :mad:

Well, I say he hasn't done anything, every morning he walks backwards and forwards in and out of the bedroom looking at what he needs to do.:rolleyes:

Ah, well you see, that is one of a man's DIY duties, which also include:

- Making grand plans for home improvements that will never come to fruition
- Buying tools which will never be used
- 'Looking' at what needs doing
- 'Supervising' (read 'criticising') your attempts to do the flipping job yourself when you get bored of waiting for him to do it
- Getting in your way while you are working hard
- Taking credit for the finished result even though he hasn't lifted a bloody finger to help

Have you met my OH Snaggles???!!!!!! :rotfl:

He has also decided (after 3 years of no motivation) to paint the ceiling of the extension at his house. He has been painting it every day for the last 10 days. I said this morning (trying to point out that that seems to be his number 1 priority miraculously and maybe he needs to re-order his priorities) - what are you creating at your house - the new Cisteen Chapel??? :rotfl:

Snaggles, you are so spot on about men and DIY. My BF took about 6 months to decorate our hallway (and that doesn't include stripping the walls as I'd already done that).

Of course, now he's finished it he keeps going on at me because I've got 2 boxes of stuff sitting there waiting for me to do a car boot sale. How dare I clutter up his masterpiece!!!:rotfl:

I saw a cartoon drawing of a blokes kitchen once. It had that holey wall surface (?) with the outlines of kitchen tools drawn on it, so that he would know where to hang his wooden spoon. cheese grater etc :rotfl:
