I waited 5 years for a strip of wood to put a new kitchen blind up..... Moved house and threw the blind away as it didn't fit the new house........ Irony to the story he works for a nationwide buiders merchants.....in the timber yard Jan

HUbby started the front room last febuary. I have three walls done now....by the time he does the rest it won't match LOL Also there's the little point of our bedroom... we moved in here 8yrs ago in March. Beofre we moved in he stripped the bedroom walls, they ahd the most awful embossed paper on with brown gloss on!!!!! very tasty NOT Wel the walls are STILL bare have given up asking now

i wouldn't say he was allergic to diy just can't be bothered, i usually end up doing it instead. get fed up of asking.i've been asking for 6 months for some shelves to be put up. i did it myself yesterday and if i say so myself i've done a bloody goos job of it, all he could say was they weren't straight!

My husband wants to know what D.I.Y. is! LOL Viv the D.I.Y.er of the house, garden etc.....

There must be somewhere out there a husband who loves doing the jobs around the house - here in Italy have yet to find one - so its not just the British men it seeems ! Gillian

I don't have it any more, but there was a brilliant article I read once about men which explained why they never finish jobs around the house. It's all to do with not liking to see the end of anything. My husband does do things eventually but it always involves a lot of hassle and trips to B&Q and then he never puts anything away afterwards. Maddening! nell

Lisa, My hubby would pay someone to change the light-bulbs if I was to let him! Lol

Gwyneth, LOL. My other half's always doing something or other; unfortantely he moves on to another job before he finishes the previous properly. I tell him he should change his name to Arfer cos he only ever does 'arf a job'. Haha. Jan

I am married to a painter and decorator but never touches our house he says he doesnt get paid. so i get out the paint brushes

problem finding the hammer maybe!!!LOLxxxxxxxxxxxx(:

Don't get me started!!!!!!!! nell

I don't moan or nag but last year I asked about July time whether I could have an early Christmas present. Obviously he asked what that was and when I said I'd like the shed roof repaired so that I didn't have to keep the lawn mower in the greenhouse to keep it dry, I got the shed repaired within the week. Subtle... but it worked.

if my husband could sit in a chair and do diy then he would be happy.he thinks i nag him when i moan when it doesn't get donexxxxxx(:

My husband thinks D.I.Y. stands for Don't Involve Yourself.

LOLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(:

I have to say on behalf of the non DIYers like me they are awaiting the invention of a roundtoit once this important piece of equipment has arrived then I will get a round to it and do all the jobs my wife has lined up for me

i have!!!xxxxx(:
