Jenny you are arent acquainted with my wife. After studying colour charts and wallpaper designs for what seems like an eternity, finally she decides on the décor she likes. But once I’ve painted and wallpapered she starts to have second thoughts and I end up redecorating the same room six months later.

More women are living alone and therefore need to be able to do DIY themselves. That’s why DIY skills courses up and down the country are noticing a big increase in the number of women enrolling/

I have to agree arthur, my misses drives me mad and its always stuff like oh im not sure about that colour or when are you going to decorate the bathroom, drives me mad so it does

Yes I agree, Women usually finish the job, whereas men tend to leave things unfinished and in a state!](*,)

=d>

men don't think it through first. for instance my ex once put in a partition wall - not too bad - but then he wallpapered before he put the skirting on. it wasn't so that he didn't need to bother getting the wallpaper cut to the right size because he fussed about getting it straight at the bottom of the wall even though it was going to be covered by wood.

he also put the door in the wrong place so that we had to go througha series of opening and shutting other doors to get into the room

I think everyone is bad at DIY, it's human nature, you have a great idea about what you want, you spend hours trying to achieve it, and then get bored half way through and do a half baked job of it. I think you need a motivation section on this website.

i love guiness

lets face it women just want the job done and blokes hate doing it, so women rush it coz blokes are lazy and never get round to it.

:-" come on blokes the women are catching us up here and giving us a right tongue lashing, sounds like normal dont it?
