Argh I’m ready to bury OH under the patio.

I’ve noticed since lockdown he has to argue the opposite of everything I say. Not to start an argument but it seems like he can’t ever just agree with me.

It’s always over really stupid trivial stuff!
Coming home from a walk last week and I commented that it was turning cool, quick as a flash “no it’s not”. Today I said I was glad I’d fetched them washing in as it was chucking it down, “hmm it’s not that bad” 😡 I’m sat watching it bounce of the fucking window 😡😡
It’s every bloody time! Please tell me it’s not just mine before I shove a peg up his nose

I was just coming on to ask who was going under it.

I'm in. Also happy to provide an alibi should you need it.

I'll bring my shovel.

could we make it a bit bigger?

Billyjoearmstrong · 10/07/2020 16:42

I’ll help but only if I can sling my ‘d’h in there too please.

I was coming to offer 14 stones of ballast but I see there's a queue.

Absolutelunacy · 10/07/2020 16:51

The driveway needs sorting, I’ve probably room for a few more!

Shove mine in too, he's "not getting anything done" Well no that's because you arse about and talk on the phone for ages and then generally faff instead of actually doing the work

Sunnydayshereatlast · 10/07/2020 16:55

Came on to offer up an exh or 2.. Or 3 even if there is space!

Shovel

This should cut down on the labour.

LizzieMacQueen · 10/07/2020 17:46

I was all ready to give you advice on levelling and whacking methods ..... have to say, loads must be building patios. I've been waiting 6 weeks for a delivery of stone.

Room for my ex under there? He is sparking our sons anxiety off all over the place not giving two shits about him his latest trick? Taking them out getting a recipt and bringing them back he has them for an HOUR took ds1 to a CASH machine in a beauty spot the other day....and bought him back home

Really wish I was lying

@slipperywhensparticus Jesus Christ. What a knob.

I live next to an empty house whose patio looks a bit wobbly. New residents due anyday. I think it would be ver neighbourly to sort it out for them. On a bit of hill so could with levelly if anyone has a large 'carpet' they need to bury.
