Just paint it off-white then provide her with a pair of glasses to which you attach slivers of coloured cellophane. These are easily changed to suit her position in her menstrual cycle.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostSince retiring I have filled my time by continually repainting the kitchen with various shades of orange because the ** missus can't make up her mind what shade she wants. Very fulfilling.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Chores in the morning and then watch Wimbledon in the afternoon/evening. It starts next Monday.Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostOkay so the wife and kids are off to Spain next weekend to visit the Grandparents for the week, leaving me at home (through choice)
Have got my list of home chores to do but any (constructive !) ideas as to how I can also fill my time in between the flood of calls I expect to be receiving re. roles... ?
Thanking you all
Talking about list of chores. Does anyone else find that once you've finished one the wife has another one lined up? Really getting on my nerves now.
However, if I ask her to do something she either takes months to do it or does it really badly that I end up finishing it.Last edited by MrNoMotivation; 15 June 2009, 14:08.Comment
