discussion Not quite what the wife had planned...

[AlanG]

Imagine the scene as i'm sure many of you can. Wife comes into the back room/hobby room and says it looks like a pig sty. Granted it did look a little messy so heeding her call i set about tidying up. Wife comes back 30 mins later to see me just finishing tidying up. I then wonder what all the fuss was about. Apparently when she said tidy up she ment the room and not just my stash of models. Is it me or are women hard to figure out? Surely she knows the stash comes first above all else lol

Anyway here it is all nice and neat

Tidy stash BTW

 

[AlanG]

Penny Penny Penny. Now you are really not seeing it from my point of view are you? I've done a days graft (well i attended work for 8 hours), looked after my son who's going through terrible twos for 4 hours then put tea on ready for her to come home to. Surely she can push the hoover around. After all it is written in her marriage contract that she has too lol

Im speechless (For once)

BTW - Ive been havng problems with posting, unsure why, so if you have been seeing posts appear and disappear that was me, sorry. For some reason my replies are getting a 30 second error and then getting placed before the post Im replying too!!!!

What I find funny is the fact that you tidied up (To your standards), then had it explained what tidy up actually meant. Then, instead of tidying up to the wifes specs, you then proceed to take photos of your "tidied" models to post on the forum.

Is that correct priorities or do you love danger

Being a female modeller Im not really sure whose side to take, so Ill get splinters in my bottom and sit on the fence

My ex-wife asked me once. Just the once mind. to clear up.

The next day when she could not find any of her twenty pairs of shoes, twelve pairs of jeans, enough bras to open a shop and to many pairs of knickers to count she gave up!

On the bright side she never once complained about my little bit of mess in the back room.

If my wife did this hobby too then she'd have to have her own room as i just know she'd be nicking my kits and paints lol. She doesn't mind me doing models as much as my fishing. At least i'm at home when i'm doing it and not going out for 14 hours at a time like i do when i go fishing lol

 

[Guest]

Heh Allyne my wife does nick my kits, when i was getting those large boxes full the first thing she'd alwasys say is " What have we got to build this month" it's just wrong we don't nick there shoes or bags n stuff.:trafficwarden:

Just kidding lads. Don't get all hot under the collar thinking about it now

I have to admit, as a woman, that every man should have his shed. Little boys have dens, and when they grow up they call them Sheds. They fill them up with small pieces of wood, almost empty tins of paint and other stuff which "Might come in useful in the future".

Its good for them. Makes them feel special

But, in all seriousness, and at risk of taking flack from the dungaree and comfortable shoe wearing feminists, I do believe that a man should have his shed and Ill have the kitchen (I do love cooking).

Lol its as though you've been to my shed, what makes it worse i work on building sites and am always coming across bits n pieces that "might come in useful" much to my girlfriends dismay. She popped her head in last night, first time in a few months and tried her hardest not to comment on the bombsite i call home.

Ahh well you see thats where she went wrong. My golden rule is never peep, BIG mistake. If my guy is in his shed and I, for example, take him a cup of tea, I have learnt to knock on the door and wait

However, every guy Ive ever been with has quickly learnt to stay out of the Kitchen when Im cooking. Its something I enjoy and that I do well and the last thing I need is someone coming in and trying to take over

(BTW - I do not subscribe to the man works, woman cooks theory, its just I love cooking)

With my wife, iam am going to plant a large tree in the garden and then build a tree house so she can't access my stash, as carrie doesn't climb trees.
