This morning I removed our knackered up n over door on the garage, built a wooden frame and put our old UPVC french doors in its place. Nice bit o recycling. Then I went to work, which is where I am now. I expect a phonecall about the mess Ive left within the next hour or so. You can't win i tellz ya....

"Lists of Jobs"?  They're a real BLOW!

I've managed to loaf around very successfully for the last two weeks after the operation, but the pressure's mounting to start doing things again, particularly as I've got to go back to work on Tuesday.

On the plus side, the garage door assister springs are still broken, so I can't open the main door. That has at least meant that she hasn't been able to fill my garage up with garden rubbish and other old shite like normal. I'm thinking of holding off on the spring replacement for as long as possible.

Chilli, I can officially tell you the springs are back-ordered. Until the day after you need to fix the door.

I do have two chores this weekend.

1) Do 10-15 minutes of tidying in what was the MonkeyFX room
2) Go to the workshop for most of Sunday or Monday, to make something, organise things or just sit listening to the MP3 player.

I usually get a list of jobs to do when the wife goes out on a Saturday, but today she said "It's raining, so just play your guitar while I'm out shopping if you like." I just know she's going to be spending a fortune on something we don't need, or planning to spend a fortune on something we don't need.
I much prefer when I get a list of jobs - then I play guitar, but spend the last hour doing jobs that I'm still doing when she gets home, and tell her I haven't stopped all day. It's all in the strategy - which she has won today I think.

I have neither a wife or girlfriend, but manage to get a list of jobs from my sister regularly.

Usually involving sorting something for the fucking ducks. Today's was, fix the pump for clearing the duck pond out. Which wasn't broken.

 

And I could have been doing something important (like posting on here, about fixing unbroken things)

This sums it all up.

My list for today is:

1. Recover from hangover.

2. Crash out on the sofa to watch the Grand Prix.

3. I'm working on number 3 at the moment, but haven't come to any firm conclusion as yet.

Chilli's 3rd job is drink more beer, and have curry for dinner

chillidoggy

That's spooky because I'd forgotten I'd planned to eat some leftover Ruby in the freezer for din-dins tonight. I'd best get it out to defrost.

 

Ta.

Not that you're predictable or anything..... :P

chillidoggy

No, I'm being serious for once! It's true!

Told my wife about this thread. She said (and I quote) - "That is bullshit"

You're using the wrong tools. You need an air rifle and a roasting dish.

I've tried a shotgun and an Ak-47 so far, there's not enough left to roast though :-S
