    So I had a basket of logs. Liftable by one person but to save my back the wife helped.

    Its a featherweight lift for two and needed to go nine steps across the lounge.

    We picked it up and went 3 steps when she stopped dead. “I’ll do it myself” she says. Well yes she could, as could I but we’ve started now and it would be quicker to carry on and put it down in 2 seconds time where it needs to go rather than put it down for her to lift up again. We’re in this frustrating stand off 5 feet from our destination and I sharply told her “Just carry on”. She did but then stormed off in a huff because I’d been sharp.

    So now literally a 7 second job has taken 30 seconds and a row.

    Move out. Build a cabin in the woods. Don’t look back.

    Maybe you could set them on fire and post them for him?

    Quit your job. Apply for incapacity benefits. Claim winter fuel allowance.

    @teetosugars, LOL sharing a petty squabble with the wife isn’t my proudest moment. 🙂

    “Sounds like she’s the man in your relationship.”

    After a while I’ve got used to ‘Compulsory Pegging Thursdays”. Or that’s what I tell myself.
