That made me laugh also ????

I have been usurped as DH’s helper by a six year old GS I feel a huge sense of freedom and relief.

Save the bricks, they might mean that you no longer get asked to go outside and help

That's made me chuckle, JoyBloggs, though when that sort of thing arises with OH I am less amused ?

...this conversation with Himself this morning was a bit unsettling.

HIM
'Can you help me for about 10 minutes in the garden' (mending a shed roof up a narrow side passage which would involve squeezing through shrubs).

ME (Busy ironing at the time, in clean and presentable clothes)
'Er, prefer to do it after lunch when I change my clothes'

HIM
'Alright'

An hour or two later after lunch...

ME
'So what's this job you need me for?'

HIM
'Done it thanks, don't need you'

ME
Oh, so how did you manage it without me?

HIM
'I used 4 bricks instead'

I'm still not entirely sure what the job was that the services of myself or 4 bricks are equally suited to...
