Wife avoidance ?

[Hilary B]

Oh Two Sheds, just been reading the other thread about the cat pee smell. Sounds like a rather large glass of port is in order this evening. I didn't intend to have a drink tonight, but I feel it would be unfriendly to leave a fellow gardener in such dire straits - rest assured I will do my best! Cheers

Cat-pee smell? I missed that one, anyone provide a link please? As wife/assistant to a house surveyor, I react to that one, because SOMETIMES that smell means dry-rot!

and sometimes an incontinent cat.....

Even without an allotment, a man needs at least a shed to escape to.

So does a woman, especially when she has four children and eight and a bit grandchildren

Jings Rustylady, so glad you're talking about a shed to escape to
On first reading I thought we were talking about cat pee smell

So I need to buy His Lordship a shed then Have to be a bladdy big'un as he's 6'5", do you reckon I could lose him in one then???????????????

[Stacey Steve]

No he will lose himself in a shed!

I grew up with sheds. As a kid in the 50's in East London our playgrounds were bomb sites, which could be quite dangerous (I know, I fell through into a cellar and was in there for hours till my family found me) but we (elder brother and cousins) used to play in my uncle's shed. It was a submarine, bomber, cowboy bunkhouse etc, so sheds have always been special to me.

When my Dad retired, he was so conditioned to going to work that he used to get up of a morning, kiss Mum goodbye and go off to work in his shed and garden. Come home for lunch and then go off again to knocking off time.

I did not get a shed of my own till I was 35 and moved here to Milton Keynes and it has rejuvenated me. Now though I have no "playmates" as such down the allotments and in any case they also have their own sheds but it has become a bit of a "sanity cell" for me.

If he is that tall, then don't look at sheds as they have a low ceiling height but buy him a workshop, same thing but higher generally.

Its an escape....also an escape for Mrs Nog...he he

[jackie j]

I wish I had a shed to escape to ~ it's still flat packed at the mo.
I just got in from collecting it, heaving it over the plot,
couldn't get my bike in, and then he'd sat himself down with the paper ...

Two sheds did you cycle with the flat packed shed on your bike lol

Yep, I'm a Mum with a shed with camping gas stove etc The first thing I put in my shed was a corkscrew I'about to paint it yellow with a white door. On our site every shed is a different colour.

I've got a deck chair in the polytunnel
