Well I'm going to scream so am venting here instead.

Dp has just spent around an hour doing one bloody thing for me, putting up a mirror.
All he had to do was cover a Christmas mural sticker thing of a deer and he's left it's sodding bits sticking out.

He's wondering why I'm not bowing with gratitude.
Is he for real?

Iloveacurry · 20/01/2019 21:08

😂

Penninepain · 20/01/2019 21:09

Im sorry, but that has really cheered me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

BumbleBeee69 · 20/01/2019 21:10

bless hahahaaaaaaa Grin

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 20/01/2019 21:12

Can you see yourself in it?

gamerchick · 20/01/2019 21:13

I really like your wallpaper Grin

My DH always puts mirrors too high up

Mine does exactly the same. So I need tiptoes to see the top of my head.

IamFrauBlucher · 20/01/2019 21:14

Could you strip that middle section of wallpaper and put a new strip on instead op, then rehang the mirror.

Sorry to be picky, but it's peeling at the top corner too. 😬

delboysskinandblister · 20/01/2019 21:15

Just change your husband Grin Grin

He's done this so you don't ask him again......

FiggyFudgePot · 20/01/2019 21:16

Ahhh bless, looks like he put his whole heart into that. Grin

Hazardswans · 20/01/2019 21:17

Another saying strip the wall sorry 😶Blush

MixedMaritalArts · 20/01/2019 21:18

I hope you said “ Fangs “ . He’s made my night. The lopsided, non cover up that makes it look like a Vampire mirror ! Genius move by him. Does he also drop things whilst washing up so he never gets asked again ?

Soontobe60 · 20/01/2019 21:18

My DH also puts mirrors up too high, he's 10 inches taller than me! Even the one in my dressing room is too high!
Sorry though OP, I think that's not the right mirror for that wall. It needs to be rectangular to fit in with the stripes and fireplace, so his cock-up is a good excuse to go mirror shopping!

mum11970 · 20/01/2019 21:19

If it’s on string or wire just lengthen it.

delboysskinandblister · 20/01/2019 21:19

Have you got any more of that wallpaper? It's just the chimney breast isn't it. Could you match it in? Did you have any rolls left over?

Don't ask DP to do it

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 20/01/2019 21:23

Look, he’s centred it. Think yourself lucky! 😂

achoocashew · 20/01/2019 21:25

What are the dark pointy things underneath it?

wanderings · 20/01/2019 21:26

"Oh!!!! This will never do." Shock

My first thought was that the mirror was too high, or too small. After all, I much prefer seeing all of my face at the same time.

I have the same fireplace as you op but I've painted mine white.

Corrag · 20/01/2019 21:30

My OH did similar. We had a cracked tile in the kitchen. When he hung a magnetic knife rack on the tiles he placed it about half in inch below the point where it would have covered the crack. Gave me the rage every time I looked at it.

cowfacemonkey · 20/01/2019 21:31

Oh dear even with the reindeer it's far to high. Although at the risk of dispensing unsolicited opinions about the mirror in general it is (IMO only) too small and the wrong style and shape for where you are hanging it.

Kikipost · 20/01/2019 21:31

Perhaps part of a plan to replace ghastly mirror with something else?!

WhatALearningCurve · 20/01/2019 21:33

I've just read this out to my partner and showed him the photo. He genuinely couldn't see what the issue was till I pointed it out!

delboysskinandblister · 20/01/2019 21:41

It's no good - you'll have to sell up.

mumsastudent · 20/01/2019 21:46

you need a power point step by step guide with pictures (are you married to a clone of my ds? no cant be - he wouldn't have been able to hang it up as well - I don't think he knows how to use a hammer or screw driver :) )
