not being a nagging wife

[Two_Sheds]

the tiler is halfway through the job and says "running out of tiles love".
We were 50 tiles (5 boxes) short ... and there were no more in the whole of East Angular. I had no car, no money and the tiler is on another job on Monday.

finish the rest of the floor off in sparkly pink tiles?

[BumbleB]

Oh dear. Well if it were me I would have to prove a point.

And what is the result that you would like to see? sparkly pink, or a random mix or the originals?

I would go for number 1

[jackie j]

Go for what you want, so if you want sparkly pink tiles get them lol if not go for the black and hope he wont notice.

[BumbleB]

If you clear up his mess after him, he will never learn. I think all us females do this. I get frustrated at stuff left in the wrong places and I pick them up put away etc cos It drives me mad seeing carp all over the place.

I hope you get a nice effect from your pink sparklies :=)

I know MrSheds, so I'm biased, but:
Don't go for No. 1 cos MrSheds will never ever sort anything out himself.
Personally don't think sparkly pink would look good in your kitchen.
Go for the black so the job gets done.
HE'S GOING TO MOAN ANYWAY

What sort of tiles are they (make and name of the range)? I have quite a lot of tile-y contacts (my dad's been in the business for 30 years or so ) and I might be able to find you some the same as your originals.

[Glutton4...]

Mine's like that too. Wouldn't care a hoot what state the place was in, just so long as he could see his stoopid big TV from the place he chooses to park his butt!

Me? I'd like to live in a show-house! No chance really. I guess we're all different.

Oh, yeah, I'd go for 'c' the clown'll never notice anyway!



If they were as clever as us they wouldn't need us would they lol!

[FionaH]

Unless he's going to learn some kind of life lesson by leaving him to sort, (highly unlikely I would guess) Go for adding the extra tiles. If he doesnt like it then tough, he should have bought enough

Then go book some yoga or deep breathing clases

I think I'd go for the sparkly pink,but will trust RustyLady's judgement that they mightn't go!Some statements just aren't worth making!....especially as it's you that's got to live with it!
You're not alone...if I nag I'm wrong,but if he misses deadlines/birthdays etc I'm also in the wrong for not nagging!Bless him!


On second thoughts...if you can live with it,Go with the pink....maybe add a few sparkly purple ones to boot!

[zazen999]

I would never have let him calculate the number of tiles in the first place.

[bramble]

Just kill Mr too sheds

[Nicos]

Ask the guy to order some more tiles - and come back when he can ..if it's not finished when your OH gets back...then point made

If you used similar tiles you'd be irritated by your OH each time you see the difference!
Sounds to me that your OH wouldn't notice a subtle difference????

Oh I just love guys!!!!! ( so easy going eh????)

[rustylady]

He didn't. All he did was measure the room, write down the measurements and give them to the man in the shop.

Then either he's got the measurements wrong, or the man in the shop hasn't ordered enough tiles. Any bets on who got it wrong?

[Two_Sheds]

I talked to the man in the shop. He sounded very adamant that he hadn't made an error

[janeyo]

Tricky one this.
In an ideal world and it was me I'd have the whole thing done in pink sparkly. And claim these were the ones Mr 2sheds ordered.
But not in an ideal world I wodl leave it to him to sort as if I went for c) I'd be constantly hating the mismatched tiles and mr 2 sheds would end up under the patio.

But ams ure i'd get off on the grounds of 'mental cruelty' lol.

IN a nutshell, no idea what to do! I tell OH what I want, he says we can't afford it, then he finds about MILLION cheaper alternatives. I sulk and forget to wash his pants etc and then eventually he gets the ones I wanted in the first place
