to not admit to dh the street party isn't happening on the puree

[takingiteasy]

Our garden resembles step toes yard. Its a mess and irritates the fuck out of me. I've been nudging dh to get it sorted for a while. Basically he started digging it out to make a drive but took ill (ok not his fault he's better now but still not himself) and was out of work for ages so no money to finish. Anyway the health and money situation has improved. My garden has not.

A neighbour spoke to me yesterday about a street party. She's speaking to the council about having it round the back of the houses in the garages. So I mentioned to dh about a street party and lo and behold he springs into action! Digger ordered, skip booked... All because he thinks the street party is happening out front I'm guessing.

So do I fess up or act daft?

Puree?

On the puree??

Street. On the street.

Act daft. Never say a word. Congrats on your pending new garden

Well it's not confirmed its at back yet is it?

God no, don't fess up! He hasn't actually said to you that he thinks it's out front has he?

Look, the job needs done and it's getting done. All good.

Lol at puree

Why was it down to your DH to sort it out though and not you/both of you?

Well given how unreasonable you appear from this to have been -demanding your sick and poor husband sorts out your garden without actually doing anything yourself - can you really not book a skip or digger? - not sure why you need to have a get out plan?

Do. Not. Fess. Up.

haha...ah...I think you should campaign to have street (or puree) party round t'front, so your dh can show off his new drive. You could put thrones on it and dress up as king and queen!

Lol ok I asked for that. I had a baby 3 weeks ago so surprisingly enough not been up to driving diggers etc recently. It was his project, he started it and has a habit of not seeing things through to completion so I've kept out whilst gently reminding him it needs done!

Ahh didn't realise that...congratulations!

Understandably your brain is probably puree'd on lack of sleep....hence the thread title

Admit nothing. As an aside, purée is an awesome Autocorrect from street. I mean how?

I once told my friend I was eating chocolate 'bighorns'

It was meant to say 'biscuits'

If it was a case of getting a company in to do it I would have but that's not how we roll! Dh is a tradesman and has an aversion to getting a man in! he's very much an 'I'll do it' type. He just takes his time!

No, don't say anything!

Ha! brilliant. do no tell him.

say nothing, enjoy your new garden... soon enough you will be making puree!

Fat fingers.

I once signed of a text to my nephew as cun* takingiteasy instead of aunt.

lololol takeiteasy!

and beware 'restock' autocorrects to 'testicles'

Dont say a word :) congrats on your new baby & garden :)

Fully agree - love the puree typo, btw - do NOT tell him. Congratulations on the new baby - if he complains later, you have the perfect excuse of baby-brain anyway!

Will act daft... 'tis not that hard to be honest!

Am now excited! Couldn't give a toss about the street party cos I can't get pissed but happy it's given DH the motivation to get our garden sorted!

Our slatternly neighbour has moved out so our garden is no longer the 2nd worst on the street, it's the worst.
