You wouldn't want me there, Herbert. I learnt to do a few of these things for the first time while my husband was on the phone giving me instructions - the taps and working with the electricity. There were plenty of frustrated tears and impatient rumblings during the process - all from me of course - because it's never as straight forward as you think it will be. But a great sense of pride and the confidence of a new skill learnt when the jobs were done. Well worth it.

Yes I would.

If you didn't want to repair anything, at least you could give my shower cubicle a good scrubbing while I sat in the lounge room with my slippers on, a good pipe in my mouth, and the Financial Times in my hands ...

(And then I'd give you a small garden spade to clean the thick layers of grease out of the oven. I know you women LOVE being on your hands-and-knees in the service of pleasing the Master of the house). Cool

Please don't delay ... Get an electrician to install a safety device called an RCD in your outdoor Mains Box to help protect you against accidental electrical shock.

Tell me about it! My loud bawling sets all the neighbourhood dogs howling and the cats screaming in sympathy. And that's even before I've opened my tool-box.

I have two very well equipped toolboxes that were gifts from my husband. One is for general tools, one is for electrical tools like those special screwdrivers that don't carry voltage and a multimetre. I can rewire light switches and powerponts etc. I also rewired the thingy that the internet cables and telephone cords go into. I can change taps, door hinges and have recently gyprock'd a wall. All in all, I think I can handle most basic home maintenance.

I'm impressed.

If you were living here I would ask you to re-rope the sash-window cords every time one of them broke.

The idiots who designed the old fashioned sash windows forgot that the cords would occasionally need replacing. It's been a hell of a job getting access to the broken cord and the piece of lead that they're attached to. You have to virtually smash your way into the channel on the side where the lead goes up and down.

Some idiot in charge of the sash-window factory back then in the 50's and before, said ~ "No Worries! Just seal up the channel and start doing the next one".

Over the years a lot of people have gone to their graves unpunished.

actually, replacing the sash cord is relatviely easy ... and you have to remove the cover off the channel, not smash it ... thats what its there for. Cheesy

Thanks, Ferrari ~ but there's not a chance I'm going to spend any time scrubbing the shower walls. That's what wives are for. It's the sort of thing they like to do when they're not in the kitchen or the bedroom.

At best I'll stand back and spray a little 'EXIT MOULD' and 'Anti-Soap Scum Build-up Remover' from an aerosol Pressur-Pak ~ (not the trigger-type that demands you have wrists like a tennis champion). Cool

well now you know why you continually have mould on your grout, and unfortuantely, no product in the world will prevent your problem ...

your mould is caused by laziness and sexism ... get of your backside and clean it you lazy twat

Herbie can't help it. It's an age thing. Wink

Grumpy: A study found men begin the unhappiest period when they hit 70, as they begin to suffer from bereavements, health problems and problems with not having a woman to "do" for them.

I am sure there is a pleasantly plump female around here who would be only too pleased to Char for you, Herb. All you have to do is ask, nicely. She'll even feed your pets and tend the garden. Cool

I was going to submit a long dissertation on the effects of mould in certain enclosed environments, but now that you've told me it's a boring subject, well ...

So instead, I'm preparing an extensive thesis on the migrations of dung beetles in the Scottish Highlands during the winter time.

I've bookmarked it for reading later.

'Pleasantly plump woman'? ~ Are you kidding? Have you been watching My Kitchen Rules. There's an old bloke there with a flash new girlfriend not yet out of her 20's. Every night she feels Old Age creeping over her .... Tongue

Not when you feel her dig the stirrups in and bring the riding-crop down hard on your flanks.
