She took the kids to her mates yesterday and stayed overnight. I then took it upon myself to ruthlessly gut the house and throw loads of stuff out while she wasn't here to argue. Just took four bags to the tip and a couple of boxes of toys to the charity shop. Done loads of polishing and shit as well.

 

Hear me miaow.

I've just taken receipt of a new bearings kit for my tumble dryer.  Normally I would just buy a new one, but now I am time rich and have no income, I have applied some WD40 to my knees and will be ripping the shirt off later to set about it

"Now living at the tip"

[General Dryness]

Built my boy a sandpit as part of his christmas present. Eight 2.4 metre macrocarpa sleepers, a shitload of bolts, some heavy duty polythene, 1.25 cubic metres of playpit sand, some backbreaking labour and one not very DIY inclined General.

 

Gave the lad a whole load of sandpit toys for Christmas. I'd been telling him up until the day that daddy was building a flowerbed. His face was a picture when we took him out to the garden and took the cover off it. One very happy boy. Proud as fuck that I did it all by myself. 

 

Marked out a square and cleared the topsoil about 50mm down.

 

Bolted the sleepers together at the corners and lined with the polythene, secured with staples.

 

Put the second course of sleepers on top, bolted at the corners and top down to secure to the lower course.

 

Got rid of any sharp edges with a plane and a belt sander. Added the sand, which had to be wheelbarrowed bit by bit from the front of the house as theres no vehicle access to the back garden. Approx 40 metres each way.

So are the local cats.

[PestiRed]

Kick the kid out, get a deckchair and a Strawberry Daiquiri and enjoy your new "home beach"

Charlie is the cat mate. He won't be going in it as it has a cover when its not in use.

You might be onto something there.

Sorry, it was a terrible joke.

There speaks a man who severely underestimates the local cats.

Good point.

Managed to get my new phone working this morning, without once losing my wrag, without swearing indiscriminately at inanimate objects, without wanging the thing at a wall and without even getting out of bed.

 

In your fucking face.

In law bought me a fancy jumper for Christmas. Think was made for the Hulk. Fuckin massive. Looked ridiculous. Wife said I cannot ask for the receipt as it will offend her.

One hot wash and tumble dry later fits like a glove. Aggressive laundry  Grrrrrr

[Tony Moanero]

I farted in my wife's empty coffee cup and held it over her nose.

For Christmas I bought my wife some bits and pieces from Yankee Candle. When asked would I like a carrier bag, I said "no thanks, I've got my own" and unfolded a B&Q one I had in my pocket.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Superb effort GD.

Nicely done. Very easy to slap some shade up on that if necessary.

I made and installed a rod for my own back today.  Fuck.

I've moved back into my place a couple of weeks ago and my ex and daughter are in the process of moving out.

 

She's spread her stuff everywhere throughout the house and it's proving incredibly difficult to get it all straight, but I've started with the spare room (my room for now) and the garage.

 

There's something therapeutic about getting the garage sorted out, and yesterday I built a little work top to go over the dryer.

 

Rooooooaaaaaaarrrr!!
