....when she returns from her weekend away?
The fact that I unthinkingly threw her waterproof trousers in with the rest of the washing, and all the taped seems came loose?
Or the fact that we need a new hedge trimmer as I sliced cleanly through the cable of the old one today?
😳
Trousers FTW.
So was it unseemly?
At least you have combined your ear-bashings into one convenient payment!
Better to get a big bollocking out the way in one go IME.

You work in IT or something don't you. 😆
you can easily fix that hedge trimmer by replacing the cable. Or, if there's bit dangling you can just get one of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Masterplug-Outdoor-WRRL1510-MS-Extension-Heavy-Duty/dp/B003BMBMW4/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1412524706&sr=8-9&keywords=garden+extension+plug+adapter ]these[/url]
the waterproof trousers? Make it up by buying her flowers. and a pair of [url= http://www.paramo.co.uk/en-gb/garments/detail/index.php?pgc=NIKWAXANALOGYTROUSERSCASCADAIILADIES ]these[/url]?
and, given you did the washing surely you must be in the good books?
"What will annoy the wife the most'
The fact she married a man who can't stick 2 wires together 😉
Trousers
You're ****ed
I'd get looking for some new ones 🙂
I don't think I know your wife, but I'd guess she wouldn't give two shits about the hedge trimmer.
Mess with an item of her clothing on the other hand.... Can I have your bike?
stick the tapes back on with pritstick or something. Just needs to hold the seems long enough for her not to notice. Then when she puts them in the wash, they'll all fall apart, so her fault and you are blameless 8)
the hedge trimmer is both easily repairable and unlikely to be noticed I assume [ forgive the sexism]
I vote for the trousers
I might be able to help with the hedgetrimmer, your on your own with the pants.
dont ask me how I know

Swap the cable and blag the need for new trousers anyway as they are soooo last year's colour. I've refitted an entire cable to our Karcher twice due to cable-door interfaces. You'll probably need a Torx driver to open the trimmer. Buy a cheap - but correct power rating - extension cable and use that as the donor cable.
you ve clearly not been married long.. tell her a homeless poor blind kid with only one leg and a scruffy puppy came round begging for money for his sick grandmother and you felt so guilty of all the riches you both have together that it prayed on your mind all day and you absent mindedly ...
id also take yourself away for a moment and ask why the mrs has been away with her mates for the weekend when her place is at home cooking the roast and washing.. and trimming the hedge
New hedge trimmer because you cut the cable?
Someone revoke his man badge, I have a feeling your "wife" will be just fine...
Secretly buy some new trousers and fix the cable

Deary, deary me. 🙄
A length of three-core mains cable and a screwdriver, both of which ought to be handy, and job done.
You [i]can[/i] wire a plug, can't you?
Ok, over reaction on the cable, easily fixed I know.
Not helped by the fact that I had to borrow a mates hedge trimmer to finish the job. I had to explain why I needed his trimmer. He is a Health & Safety consultant. I may get more grief from him than the wife.
Sorry, but cutting through the cable is a perfect excuse for a new petrol strimmer.
Mmmmm, 2 stroke.

Three core?
I've yet to see a hedge trimmer that's not double insulated.
What you going to do with the earth wire? 😛
MCTD, your wife just called me, said you're a buffoon.
HTH 😆
she returns from her weekend away?
She's had a weekend away. She can shut up.
Haha chakaping love it...
I'd just tell my other half, and have probably already fixed the hedge trimmer and been to Go outdoors for somewhere for some more trousers. I'm nice like that. She still hates me.
Have you got kids, a dog or cats you can blame? Failing that just flat out deny any wrong doing or run away! 😀
Apparently the trousers were 15 years old so I'm reprieved.
Possibly because she had a great weekend and I caught her in a good mood.
Just never ever whatever you do wash the bedclothes when your missus is away !!!!!!!!!!
My hedge trimmer cable has three of those nylon cable connectors wrapped in Duck tape at various points along its length. Works just fine.
When she walks through the front door greet her with a glass of wine, fully made up and wearing her best underwear and nothing else.
It could be the start of something beautiful, either way she won't be bothered by the trousers.
*ponders life in the chip household*
😯
*feels a bit queasy*

Twin and Earth then?
BTW - it won't be earthed - twin core is all that's needed.

Nothing else will matter

I am just trying to help you out here.
Would you rather find yourself bent over the arm of the settee saying you have been a very bad girl,
Or on the receiving end of the silent treatment with a short suspension of your conjugal rights.
A friends wife came in from a night out with the girls and called him a count then went to bed.
They had obviously had a husband comparing competition and he did not fair well. 😀
...that you don't know, and had to ask on a public forum!
Cash, you are bloody useless
That is all
fla - when have I claimed to be otherwise?
That is true
Like the politician bloke said - never waste a good crisis.
You may as well break all the stuff of hers you don't like.
Possibly because she had a great weekend and I caught her in a good mood.
Comes back from a weekend away in such a good mood that she forgives you for all you've done. I'd be asking questions of what she's been upto...
What's wrong with you man.
I had a few nights in hospital not long a go and hubby managed to avoid doing any washing of any kind, or trim any hedge 😉
Hide the trousers and fix the hedge trimmer, deny everything. That would have been my plan but then I'm divorced !

OR do on the day she's due back - so she returns to nice clean sheets. Mucho kudos and a free MTB pass with maybe perks on top 😀
I'm guessing it's a trust issue.

You can wire a plug, can't you?
