Maybe we should start a support group for
the husbands of wives who watch too many home decorator TV shows.

My ex- went to school with Linda Barker. One of our later rows was
over some shelves (copied from Changing Rooms) that I'd built into an
alcove in our 60 year old house. Not a bad piece of work, and
beautifully fitted into the less-than-square corners. But of course
Handy-fecking-Andy could have built them in half an hour on the telly,
_and_ he'd have relaid the whole garden lawn on the Sunday too. It had
taken me months to do this, so clearly I was being lazy. Or maybe it
was because it was _Winter_ outside.

Friend of mine's wife spends the whole day watching the house-porn
channel and never moves from the couch. You can't even move in the
lounge for eBay boxes.
