SWMBO

Graham Walters · October 23, 2015, 11:08:33 AM

I have to say first of all that my owner is a lovely woman, she keeps me clothed and feeds me at regular intervals, but she does have a few annoying habits.

Every time I go to the loo I have to lift the seat up, she insists on keeping it closed
She knows when my backside is exactly at the point of no return when I am about to sit down, so that when she says 'while your up' I have to get up out of the chair.
My things are always " in a mess" hers are "how she wants them"
The moment I finish the list of jobs she gives me, she has another ready and waiting, I've tried not doing the last one, but she keeps reminding me about it.
Thats another point, I know there are jobs to do, but why does she have to remind me very 6 months

After 33 years I am still the boss in our house and Ive got SWMBOs permision to say that HaHaHa.
But I love her lots and lots .Without her we wouldn't be where we are and have what we've got ,she is absolutly Magic with money ,we have never been in debt we have never had a credit card ,we've paid the mortgage of early and own every thing we've got Weve got three grown up kids and now two grandchildren
I've only got half the stock I want but got twice as much as I really need but I've got her and wouldn't change her for the world.
And I really mean that.

I see Bobs wife hacked his account !

In my house I'm the boss all the time she says I am.

I also have a list. I've still not finished the last job. I will get round to it. There's no need to remind me every six months or so.

Being retired and a widower I make my own lists, they are very very short, if/when I remember to make one!!

Mine is tolerant generous and supportive. She knows I am passionate about my hobby and never complains about it. She comes to exhibitions with me and shows an interest. Rarely complains when 10 mins in my modelling room turns into hours....

Lists for me? Nope only shopping lists and for things we need to get done together, no timescales no suggestion ever that they have to be done first, just done.

Wouldn't change a thing about her..

Im at Eurospoor for five days, Lora is supportive and tollerant however I only have one railway working night each week which I guess keeps the balance!
If I had to choose between the two Id rather be happy with the mrs than a sad old man with a few toys

Ban him Chris ....... he said the T word ....

Bob Tidbury · October 24, 2015, 09:12:58 AM

Only Me ,Don't you mean Highly detailed expensive scale models, NOT toys .
Bob.

Sprintex · October 24, 2015, 09:24:12 AM

Exactly, highly detailed expensive TOYS

Anyone who thinks they're not toys needs to get out more

Bealman · October 24, 2015, 09:45:44 AM

Bingo.

Well at least bingo would get you out more!

Bob Tidbury · October 24, 2015, 10:35:15 AM

We are getting of topic here Sprintex but MLPs are toys trains ARE models Ha Ha Ha only joking .

Sprintex · October 24, 2015, 10:42:12 AM

Were we ever ON topic seeing as it's not exactly a serious discussion?

Undecided whether to move it to the 'Jokes' section.

Paul

Bealman · October 24, 2015, 10:43:27 AM

OK back on topic... I have a good relationship with my wife but do not discuss it on a model railway forum.

Don't know why anyone would...?

Yep, jokes section.

Roy L S · October 24, 2015, 10:46:58 AM

I think the topic is about wife's support of our eccentricities as model railway enthusiasts.

Incidentally if the late and much missed Andy Calvert could refer to Moorcock Junction as his "train set" then it puts it into suitable perspective for me. I can't get upset if people say I'm playing trains or they are my "toys" but ironically perhaps, it's something my wife never does do.
