    Should SWMBO query either the size or cost of your stash, ask her how many pairs of shoes she's got. :smiling:
    Yeah! mine buys dresses - out the delivery bag and into the wardrobe....

      Get her drunk and then move it all at night, you can make all the noise you want and blame it on thunder....

            This summer I will be up in our loft. The lazy barstewards that put in the new insulation gathered all the old stuff and pushed it up one end. then along came the council and installed vents - not just one but one every three feet, front and back. Open the loft hatch and it is like entering the ice age... So I will be all kitted out in the coveralls, goggles, mask and armed with the mop handle taped to the brush handle to give me length and I will be shoving and moving all the excess old stuff into the vent spaces, right down to that narrow area you cannot reach. It might not stop the cold, but it will slow down the gale flipping back the toupee....

                I could believe that if I lived somewhere hot or exotic where they get ginormous beasties like the goliath or huntsman. Alas I'm stuck just outside Birmingham (If the Universe had piles, that's where they'd be!) and I don't think the titchy house spiders we get here could have done it.

                Just to be on the safe side though, should I ever get to finish a wingy thingy - unlikely the way things are going with my painting at the moment - I won't be hanging it from the ceiling. I will however be continuing with the 'zoom' and 'whoosh' noises as I fly it around the room.

                    Acoustics are important. The better to hear SWMBOs' call to tea or chores.:smiling:

                              Tea - when stomach tells me, or if it is a roast meal I can tell by the curses and the crashing of pots and oven door slamming, bit like Animal the demented drummer on the Muppets....
