Weekend Leisure
Asked the wife what was on for tomorrow morning. Wish I hadn't bothered. Her reply: "I've ordered a skip" When asked what for she replied: "To get rid of all that stuff in the garage that's going to "Come in handy for something"
She wants to throw away all the pieces of timber, half-filled paint pots, old cupboards, bits of shelf and all the other useful items that might "Come in handy for something". Now I don't mind the old fridge and two gazebo frames, cardboard boxes etc, but there are limits. The bad news is I'll be able to get at my mobile gym again by Sunday. Women should leave these things to men. They are bloody merciless when they get on a roll. Think I'll be ill.

Re: Weekend Leisure
I know, it was wishful thinking. I straighten bent nails so she'll have a bloody field day. We've had four skips in the last two years. Fast as she empties the place I fill it again. Sh'e looking longingly at lawn mowers and stuff because we've had two hours sunshine this week. Ah well, I won't miss the match skip or no skip.malcd1 wrote:

'Struth, TANGO, you cannot throw out timber. Tell Mrs T the price of the stuff - she'll soon see reason. The paint cans and general detritus I can understand as I've been guilty of hoarding that sort of stuff myself and it's rare to open an old can and find it usable.
Good luck. I recently loaded up a six cubic metre skip bin with no longer required parts from my business; I'm still recovering. Mind you, my driveway is 1:4 and goes up to the road so you can imagine how many trips were involved. I dread to think how many ergs my wife and I expended during the job - not that it made any difference to my girth, which is a shame.
