Sweet Pete Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I was tasked with digging our tree and decorations out of the cellar, which, of course, meant that they were at the very back, underneath a hundred things. I dutifully emptied the cellar, carried the tree and boxes of decorations inside and said "we always argue about tree bauble placement because you're an uptight cow, so you decorate the tree yourself" (I may be paraphrasing), and as my reward I was then tasked with clearing out and reorganising the cellar. Turns out that the four bags of old bedding, two old dismantled beds, half box of broken tiles, empty cardboard box and seven old tins of paint weren't really needed, so I was then tasked with binning them all. She then had the bright idea that all my tools and camping gear could be mounted on the cellar walls to make better use of the space, so I was tasked with hanging various tents, bergens, roll mats, spades, rakes and tool bags from the cellar's brick walls and inside of the door. Still, the cellar's spotless and the tree's up. Edited December 11, 2017 by Sweet Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave her a round of applause at the end. Reveal hidden contents I had a vomiting bairn to contend with so she was on her own.

As an aside, snowy Sperrins I presume? I leave putting up the Christmas tree and decorations to my wife and step daughter, so, much as I would enjoy a trip to Dundee - I could visit most of my cousins from there - I couldn't undertake it under false pretences. Very much so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 M8s, you've all been had. An hour to put up a tree is excessive. Have a word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'll bet the majority of you under-the-thumb dafties having hours of your weekend taken away from you for firing up Christmas trees don't even believe in Christ. No one to blame but yourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. 15 minutes to unpack it, plug it in. 15-30 minutes max to hang the baubles and stick a star on top. Can't see how it can take 2 hours, never mind 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If you had kept the cellar tidy in the first place there wouldn't of been this issue. Tree though, unlucky You shut your filthy whore mouth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our tree will be arriving on Saturday and this same little Hitler gene Swete Pete highlighted will be triggered in my missus. Looking forward to the cat and/or dog tearing up the tree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
