men laying the path grrrrrr

[janeyo]

They have half laid the path.

Conversation goes a bit like this:
Him 'what are you doing with the extra slabs?'
Me 'What extra slabs?' (knowing full well OH measured and counted them a dozen times)
Him. 'the 20 or more you will have left over'
Me 'Really? We should only have one spare'
Him 'Did you want the path longer then?'
Me 'Err yes, why would I want it to stop 2/3rd way down the garden?'
Him 'oh well didn't know that, will have to have a word with your husband'
Me 'I'm telling you where the path has got to go'

Cue much huffing and puffing on both sides... OH dutifully comes out and tells them where the path has got to go.

Man huffs a bit more and goes off to get more sand.

Hmmpf!

Oh that kind of thing makes me so cross!

[coomber]

My OH just tells them to go ask the boss

[Stacey Steve]

Don't worry your pretty little head about it.

[FionaH]

[Stacey Steve]

What have I said now, I was complimentary and said Janeyo was pretty!

[FionaH]

lol back in your cave mate!

[janeyo]

Well technically he is right, I am VERY pretty and do try not to keep mundane stuff or important things in my head, it's just full of garden plans and what to eat next LOL.

Maybe I also need to add halucinatig and seeing things that aren't there in the mirror to my hobbies and interests list!?

Good job I live in la la land!

When it comes to payment only give him a 1/3 of it and when says but I want full payment , you will say you will have to speak to my husband who isnt in right now, wont you??

[SlugLobber]

Don't ask me. I only know about embroidery and kittens.

I'm afraid I would have responded in a somewhat sarcastic manner, probaby involving embroidery and kittens in it!

I had this once with a plumber, who had come to fix a fault under the bath there was a small leak which was going into downstair flat, I asked what the problem had been he said oh its a bit technical you wouldnt understand I said try me? He explained going on about u bends and sealants and pipe sizes etc I followed it all, he seemed impressed that a mere woman understood told him at the end, much to his mates amusment that ex was a plumber and oftened ordered stuff for him
