spacesailor Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I have a garage stuffed with "JUNK" Say's the wife. LoL spacesailor
old man emu Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 OK, Phil. Your intention was obviously innocent humour, and we accept that intention. However, the subject of males suffering from mental abuse in domestic situations seems to be a taboo subject. Those of us who made mention of it were just trying to say, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." Now get out into your sheds and do what she's telling you to do.
spacesailor Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 SHE Wants EVERYTHING gone. A nice clean place to put HER garden things in. NO LoL here. spacesailor
red750 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 My garage is so full of junk I can't get into it - and it's all hers. Unwanted junk she bought on eBay. Can't get rid of any of it - it's hers. Barely room to squeeze the mower, rake and a couple of other tools.
nomadpete Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I just checked, I don't have ANY junk in my shed. It's all gold.
Old Koreelah Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 To be honest, I admit that perhaps 80% of the stuff in my shed is junk- but I won't know which 20% is treasure until I desperately need that old wheel, funny-shaped bit of steel, aluminium offcut or unusual round object to help me finish my next project. When I visit my kid in the city, there is always something that's broken or in need of installation. Their piddly little garden shed might be neat and orderly, but it's next to useless as an aid to fixing anything.
kgwilson Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I have a good shed cleanout at irregular intervals. Normally when there is no more room or when I get nagged for long enough to want to do it to stop the nagging continuing. The problem is, and this always happens normally within a couple of weeks, sometimes longer, although I have not documented it nor kept any evidence, I find I need one or more of the items I threw out in the last cleanout. This I use as my defence of keeping stuff that I am told I will never need or use.
nomadpete Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 KG, that seems to be a basic rule of 'cleanups' but I still can't convince herself that it costs us money every time I've thrown out stuff that will be vital to making some household repair (for her) next week.
Marty_d Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I think many of you blokes are getting confused. The shed is YOUR happy place. SHE should not be allowed in, or if on the rare occasion she visits, should not comment on the state of it. That's why we have a house and a shed... us blokes are allowed (on sufferance) to occasionally visit the house.
nomadpete Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Thanks for clarifying that, Marty. Shall I pass it on to Kate next time I see her?
willedoo Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I agree Marty, a shed is no place for a woman. Only men know the true meaning of a shed.
red750 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 That's why I go to the Men's Shed - no women there. Not at ours, anyway.
old man emu Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 That's why I go to the Men's Shed - no women there. Not at ours, anyway. Well, not yet anyway, but give them time.
Marty_d Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Thanks for clarifying that, Marty.Shall I pass it on to Kate next time I see her? She knows. (Doesn't stop the comments, of course.)
Phil Perry Posted July 4, 2018 Author Posted July 4, 2018 My Good Lady (?) commented today, after ( Yesterday ) I had carefully removed some REAL computer junk from the shed, (these old system units are really heavy ). . . and, along with a load of dead 'Tinnies' aquashed flat and bagged up from the last two barbies, gone and weighed the lot in at a BRAND NEW Scrap metal dealer not far from here ( AND made myself Fourteen Quid in the process,. . .that she had found some 'Old Bits of Wood' in there whilst I was away. . . One of these Old bits of wood, was the original 2 blade timber Propeller from my Flash 2 Microlight, all refurbed and revarnished. . . .( Could be worth £50/60 or so to the right victim ) She says "Well, it looks like an old bit of wood to me. . ." I can't even win a little teeny bit. . . . . .
Old Koreelah Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Phil it's time to take the gloves off. Go thru her sewing room and pull out a few patchwork quilts and similar projects; tell her you're going to use these old rags in your shed.
storchy neil Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 now that's when the dog house has a new squatter neil
David2ayo Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Old K, please don't give such dangerous advice to our good mate. You obviously haven't attempted that stunt at your place, because you are still able to post. Mind you, could be a good Youtube video - Phil, let us know when you are going to do it .... David
Phil Perry Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 She doesn't SEW I'm afraid David. . .However, she is a fanatical Gardener. This is why I am still in the kennel since decapitating some of her beloved plants whilst trying to control my toy drone. . . .Had Big Daughter and her partner not been present, I am sure that I would have been in the A & E department having a three pronged garden fork surgically removed from the back of my neck. . . ( Daughter's Partner took the blame you see. . . I Like him a lot. . . gonna make a useful Son in Law after Nov 5th this year )

David Here's a Still picture David, taken by Little Daughter around 1 second before it hit me in the head . . . .(Incidentally I'm not really a fat barstard,. . . that tee shirt is quite thick. . .) The item i my mouth by the way, is the joystick pad instruction overlay card . . .I should have left it in position. . . Fortunately, I ony have a small cut above my left eye which is healing nicely.
