How old is she? the older the are, the easier as you will inevitably find they have a load of "little errands" to do around the house that mean you can escape to the garage and/or the shed to bang around - or even get out to the shops to pick up a part. Can you not "notice" a dripping tap or a sticking door or a flickering light that you can offer to fix? Wrong time of year for mowing the lawn but you get the idea. Or walk the dog? Retune the telly (that's perennial). A lot easier than listening to your MIL for 8 hours, plus you get lots of brownie points from both the mum and the daughter for being such a nice helpful son-in-law.
Actually kept occupied in the summer and late autumn so it was almost ok but since then I’ve not been creative enough . I like your thinking, I need to mooch around and find small useful jobs within my capability. But they’ve got to be jobs that she doesn’t have ‘ approve’ or even understand , I once had a mother in law who could spot the only small tear in the wallpapering in a 30’ through lounge - from 20’ away Needless to say her daughter only stayed for 28 years !!!
If and it's a big if, things turn out well, then my avatar I've been using since 2011, should make me a king on here
I was going to not post but most of you Kemps & Balk aside and Barca who is not a fool believed the likes of ITFuckall toast and ITfuckall Howden and you shot me down they are so full of **** Noticed a lot more of you are starting to see how much of a twat Sydney is I could of told you weeks ago Peace out ✌️
Imagine telling everybody you're leaving, mincing off and then coming back and typing that. You can't even **** off properly. I'd tell you myself, but you'd probably end up ringing for a takeaway or writing a letter. ****'s sake. The idea of ****ing off is to not **** back again a few days later. Away witcha.
