Don't agree with the magnolia bit, but the rest is right

we discuss colours and stuff and I just say that I will tell Mrs H if there is some colour I will NOT live with, but apart from that, up to her.

Fortunately, we tend to agree on colours (and I don't think we have ever contemplated magnolia

)

The trouble is that we ask our men folk what they like ane we get non-commital answers, so someone has to decide! I'm the decorator in our house though.

The thing is, most men don't actually care that much about the type of things that women agonise over! That is why you women think is it non-commital

"which shoes shall I wear? the green ones, the lime ones, the puce ones, etc" - answer - wear whichever fit! if they all fit, wear any of them

TP have two colours for their paint: White and Magnolia.

Every room in my house has a white ceiling and magnolia walls. That makes maintenance very easy.

I'm back, Mrs M decideed that I had to help clear another room ready for redecorating, which led to me getting rid of the corner desk that she ordered without asking me what I thought about it, my bedroom looks like a second-hand shop after a tornado, then when I got my computer re-assembled, it didn't work. turned out it was the keyboard, using one of those ergonomic sort that forces one to type properly. Anyway, the towel rail is going where I wanted it, and I'm getting a sliding mitre saw to cut the wood for the bath plinth. Will be trying some out to see what I like, but I'm told to pay not less than £150 for one.

my OH will phone me during the day while im at work the calls normally go like this

'what time are you home tonight?'

'dont know, i wanted to X amount done today'

'you had your dinner yet'

'nor its only 11am'

'oh right, so what time you home then?

then im in the bad books for saying

'ive just said i dont know, if i new id tell you!'

'no need to be like that!'

'ok babes im sorry'

'right im going, so you dont know what time you'll be home then?'

or my other favourite one

'hiya, you busy?'

'well they dont call it working for nowt'!!!

Feva, You're spot on with women.

I had a Captain of a ship always asking questions when thing went wrong and how long to fix.

We always told him it was the 'Rotating Plasmatic Condenser' and would take 24 hours longer for every question he asked to fix.

He got the message and laughed along with us, telling all other ships to be careful of the 'Rotating Plasmatic Condenser' as his was a bit of a bu##er.

Feva, have you been speaking to my first wife? Your phone conversations are word for word!

Mrs A is a vast improvement and never phones me at work - After 25 years of getting my lugs nipped I found that a bit worrying at first so I ended up phoning her to make sure she was still talking to me!

Yep, seem to

I asked my oh if I'd changed, he said I hadn't.

I never tried to change him and he never tried to change me and I have never nagged! Is that good then? Neither of us see our MIL's either, that's the best bit.
