Lesley Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 To be fair Emma - I must say that I don't sit on my backside watching daytime TV and reading magazines (well. only sometimes ) - I do all the DIY and decorating and gardening........... I'm just about to paint all the kitchen units - anything which doesn't move gets painted, and it's been standing still too long ............... and finish painting the tiles in the bathroom. I'm just waiting for a rainy day when we aren't outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I'm just about to paint all the kitchen units You have kitchen units You are only saying that to make me jealous!! If the weather holds off we are going to finish the final touches to our greenhouse today - guttering, shelving etc but we cant move the water butt as with the heavy rain of the last few days its virtually full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we've got melted chocolate all over the walls... whilst I'm playing on his laptop sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea! Thanks everyone for your kind comments about the website...should be OK for a while now...until those pigs arrive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ok so you wont smell great but it might ease your back up a little ) I was being sarcastic - Kate and I did get told off Emma - get out of Annie's topic! Kate & you in trouble??? Never!!! I thought of you as the two prefects! (That does read prefects before you ask ) And its a good job its my hearing thats gone & not my eyesight with the size of your font on your parting message!

The Dogmother Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 We'll have to have a picture of Carl in his pinny Lesley Phil can't cook at all - which came as a bit of a shock to me - I had noticed some lovely pans hanging on his kitchen wall and thought that he was a cook He can boil and egg and make cheese on toast, but that's about it! Which is really odd for a man who loves good food. Luckily I love cooking, so he comes round to me for his meals, then takes the washing up back to put in his dishwasher I don't care, so long as it's clean and I didn't have to do it!

Lesley Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Get out of Annie's thread and come and chat about pinnies in the Good Life. I won't be surprised if Annie doesn't start stamping her feet any time now.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 I can't, my back hurts too much! OH can't cook either.... he gets sidetracked... ok I'm going to boil some water to make Annie a cup of tea....fills the kettle, notices there's a leaky tap... goes to get a spanner, notices the workshop door hinge is squeaking... goes to find oil from the shed, on his way down the garden sees that a few weeds need pulling up, plls them up, off to the compost bin, see's it needs a good forking....etc etc...... Meanwhile, I've made the tea, drunk it and put the cup in the dishwasher.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
