I mean, do they not understand constructive ruddy criticism?
I only said, like, nowt really, I just mentioned, she may want to

erm, clean the lawnmower after she uses it, that`s all
her-
me-
her-
me
"well you know what to do then" she says, "from now on, you can cut the grass yourself"!
knowing my wife, she`ll stick to it too! tweedle dum & tweedle dee`ll be no ruddy help, that`s for sure, even the dogs nudge me outta their way to get to her when we return from shopping or out, so, that`ll be me then, Argyll towers sole ruddy grass cutter,
back garden`s 14 ruddy meters long too, the front only about 5/6m deep but it`s about 14m wide hmm, time to price some slabs methinks!

Women are right even when there wrong, what goes around comes around in our house and the phrase told you so can be used with the upmost smuggness

I would suggest 6 ton of Gravel, or the same amount of Grovelling

Think yourself lucky she even tried! Mine has had a go 3 times in the last 15 years and she busted the mower every time. No mowing, never waters, never trims the edges. We've got twice as much grass now but it's still my job. Funny how jobs like that are "boy" jobs but I'm cooking dinner and doing the hovering while she sits with her earphones on watching some crap on the ipad. I foresee an argument before much longer!

Eboswan has no such lawn issues. He only has to smile and the sheep cut the grass, do the cooking, make the bed ···· and even make the bed again afterwards

This is all too much déjà vu... a couple of years ago and after a gruelling two weeks of business travel to the US, LatAm and Asia I found myself severely jet lagged and standing at the bottom of our paddock viewing what was to become Sake Towers.
"The house is charming but, far too big and probably needs 250k spending on it"
"Darling, you do so exaggerate, just needs a little bit of redecoration"
"The gardens run to nearly 3 acres and I detest gardening, I am sorry it is all charming but, not for us"
"I will happily help with the gardening, I can learn to enjoy it..."
Suffice to say the financial estimate was about spot on and HIH has yet to lift even the most state of the art, carbon fibre handled, super lightweight, Barby range, garden trowel
I tell you now, if we didn't enjoy ******* them we wouldn't even speak to them
And to add insult to injury... "Do you really have to leave those black metal animal silhouettes all over the orchard?"

You've got it made. My wife has never even looked at the mower. I have 2 3/4 acres that have to be mowed once a week and this is after coming home from a roof job. I have to agree that mowing is a mans job and I'd never expect my wife or daughter to even try it. Imagine how you'd feel if she mowed her foot off or something.
