Frederick Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Today I arrived home to find most of the contents of my shed on the lawn and my wife shaking tins and shouting " Whats in this ? " It seemed she had decided it was clean up and throw out time for the shed .... It has taken a couple of stiffeners to get over the shock . So ladies if you do not want to see your menfolk signing on for councelling by AA ... Please dont clean out his shed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Isn't it a sectionable offence to do that? What on earth possessed her, is she having a breakdown? A wise woman only enters a shed if 'he' is unavailable to get a screw driver or whatever. Touch stuff, no, one enters with trepidation, does a minimal search and then decides to buy your own screwdriver etc and keep them in a drawer in the house. I suppose this is a bit like going into a woman's handbag, something are just places where one leaves things well alone. Frederick, you don't go through her handbag do you? if so, then you may have got what you deserved[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think her wardrobe with an Oxfam bin bag after today might be a good idea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Good man! well you did not deserve that then. I cannot for the life of me understand why she doesn't understand that this was interdit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think this is one of those things that the opposite sex just don't get. I think the women here will understand my horror when I returned from France one year to find that my stepson had borrowed my sewing box. Neither he nor my other half understood my horror. To make matters worse I had to ask twice to get it back.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It was my father-in-law who on my wedding day said "get a shed son" and he was right of course. Just to confuse Mrs 'Q' I have two and a cellar, keeps her on her toes. My best tip for Fred is to get a padlock, actually get a bolt for the inside as well, don't want to get caught red handed, or whatever.

Valuable " stuff " ..like new rear brake pads for a car I never fitted on and no longer have ... Good wash basin taps ... Whitworth taps and wood drills ... sharpening stones that may have not have been used for years but might be some day . The list is endless... It is way a womans brain is wired thing ...she sees a bend in a shelf under the weight of "stuff" and is worried it may snap and fall on her . That means clear the " stuff " off the shelf and throw it away . A bloke just fits another bracket under the bend and saves his precious items for another decade ... I have to admit she does have a point re the safety angle as the shelf is above where I park her motor mower ! As for "Changing wives " Where on earth would I find a better one !
