martinmac Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 To those guys that are married this will be all to familiar but let it serve as a warning to those are still single. The warning signs are as the thread title. Your wife buys a cushion. If you get the chance at this stage say you hate it. Its worth a try but is unlikely to work. On returning home the cushion is placed on the bed. Your wife then stands back and frowns. You are now doomed. Being a male we have a limited range of colours none of which are the names of flowers or plants. Women not only have a vast range of colours but also associated shades. Anyway, the cushion doesnt match something. Next its off to the shops for a new throw to match the cushion. Note, for some reason this cannot be done at the same time as buying the cushion. You are now really in trouble and a fake injury may be needed. The cushion and the throw look great but..... they dont match the curtains Another separate shopping trip is now required to buy the new curtains A week later the cushions are on the new throws ( note this is plural because more bloody cushion were sneaked in with the masses of shopping on many trips). The new lights have been put up in all rooms. ( the old ones didnt show the new features off). The lights also show off the new bloody paint in the rooms. I am sick and tired of bloody DIY. I am also skint. Just off to look at carpets now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully my girlfriend is not into this kind of things yet, but I've seen my dad trying to organize some hols and my mum bought a new kitchen instead, after that was the bathroom, windows and so on....... Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I am just picking a bathroom suite now My mrs walked in the tile shop straight up to some very cool looking granite tiles and said those ones please! I was chuffed because it only took like 3 minutes to decide Then came time to pay and the sales guy laughed and said with a smurk on his face 'Sir your mrs has very good taste as these are the most expensive tiles we sell'. Do women go on the laptop and pick the most expensive stuff or do they just know? It's like a 6th sense? My mrs can also do this with bags and shoes!

martinmac Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Good old Liz, go girl Just when I was going to but lots of goodies from you with that money. Bafore anyone asks, the paint is a cheap copy and not branded. Ok guys, so what colour is this. Marmite. And no, I didnt get paint on my organ.

Ebized Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Martin I think your misses and my misses are colluding - I've just been through a very similar cushion etec etc process and then she has the nerve to say we can't afford to change cars Our women clearly have the wrong priorities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
