Just wondering what you think of this.
Tradesman came yesterday to give us a quote for doing a patio.
There is currently a small ramp and I asked him to put a step instead.
He made a face and said that he didn't think that that was a good idea because
if a step was put in, I'd soon want it taken out and replaced with a ramp again.
He was obviously talking about my declining years. I'm 61.
Later, he was about to take some measurements and I asked him if he needed help measuring. When he said no, my husband said "She's good with holding the end of a measuring tape". to which he replied "You need a bit of weight at the end of the tape". My husband responded by having a good laugh.
I do need to loose weight and was talking to my husband recently about joining slimming world so this comment and my husband's response really upset me.
For information, I can do more than hold the end of a measuring tape. I just finished painting a room in our house including the ceiling and stripping all the wall paper in the sitting room and hall. I have several more rooms to do. I. am partially retired and work two days per week.I hold two degrees. My husband is retired and not in receipt of any pension yet. I arrange for all the tradespeople to come to the house to get jobs done. My husband doesn't initiate anything.
I am really upset at both of them and feel fat and old which is mad because so far I'm in good health and that's all that really matters.
Am I overreacting? Was it just a bit of fun or are they two cheeky fuckers.
