And used as such by my beloved - eg "do it, or I'll spend your money on a workman to do it".....

Shortly before I was nominated to install the new IKEA ;) kitchen into a 1902 style (ie wonky walls and floor) house.

"Well it would be expensive, but we could save quite a bit of cash if you did it."

Of course after paying for tools and working out how many hours i'd spent on the kitchen the original all in quote of 1200 (make units / install / full replaster / move plumbing) was a fking bargain. I spent

6 months on that kitchen (most of it got finished in the first 4 weeks :P)

After completing the decorating:

"I don't like the colour"

[meow2222]

Lol. Or would that be brings thoughts of strangulation to mind.

the words 'tough ---- its your decision, you got it' will not be uttered. Nor will the wall be repainted. Nor will you ever figure out why!
