The secret to successful decorating is to put the first two strips of wallpaper on perfectly, then put the third strip on upside down, then wait for the missus to say those words. " Is that the best you can do? I could do better myself. "
That is your cue to hand her the paste brush and b****r off down the pub.

I tried to be a painter and decorator once and took on the job of doing a huge Victorian house on Clapham Common. Way out of my depth. Owner was about to drop a sprog and wanted it all nice before junior arrived. One day I'd just had enough - left a note on the paint splashed antique dresser saying - "Sorry I can't cope anymore" dumped all my tools (Paintbrush, roller and cloth) in the nearest bin and got drunk for 4 years. I did ring back about 6 months later to apologise and she was quite understanding until I asked for the wages I thought she owed me

We're fitting a new kitchen to our place. On sunday I was sorting the sink out, lost track of time and hadn't realised I needed more stuff, ended up with the water off and unable to put it back on until the following day. Sooo, wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs I have the brain wave of going to my mums and getting 2 of my dad's home-brew buckets and filling them. Drove home very carefully right to the point some twit cut me up. Try and use your imagination as to what 10 gallons of water is like inside a vauxhall zafira Common sense would have been to get the buckets then fill them next door of course, but that didn't occur to me.

Update: not quite finished but have managed to repair above items at a cost of 56p but the hoover flex is one meter shorter.
