At least that is in the UKjoansill said:
There's several ways to get the lovely mrs Chri5 out the way:-
1. Make her goffer girl, could you just go to Screwfix, BnQ and TLC for.....
2. Suggest your feeling horny, Oh I'm off shopping
3. Suggest she helps with the prep work, Oh I would but I've go to go and ....
4. Ask for help, let her work on something not too serious and when its fecked up gently explain why and then agree to not ask for help again
The best seems to be our (casual) house rule.
I do all the DIY, mtce, garden works and cooking . She does all the washing, ironing and cleaning.
Due to 6 /8 weeks solid + a year of refurb works as my des res, it is balanced and is fair.

Found the best way of getting rid of the mrs. Buy the complete dvd box set of the O.C, C.S.I and Alias. On top of that decide to get get sky. Plonk her in front of Living T.V and didn't hear anything for a whole weekend. In fact she went out and got me boxes of beers!!
I'm not sure about the wife bit but last year i was working in a house and the man was retired, was there for 5 weeks and for 5 weeks he was looking over my shoulder he ment no harm but still it's a pain. But he did make chip butties every dinner time for me so i guess it was not that bad.
he ment no harm but still it's a pain. But he did make chip butties every dinner time for me so i guess it was not that bad. Just finished refurbishing the mother in laws kitchen. She's great - its the father in law that's the problem. He's practically blind so he has to put his face right up to something in order to see it and he also insists on hovering around me in case i do something wrong. Daft bugger nearly lost his nose to my chopsaw when he wanted to see it working!!
That and the 3 'syblings' who insist on barging into the kitchen (whilst simultaniously yelling at each other) to make food DESPITE the fact that i've told them a squillion times that there's no electic or water!!
I find the soothing phrase of: "GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL DECAPITATE YOU" usually helps clear the immediate work area!!
