That's it. She'll kill me this time

You think you've seen mental? Whoo hoo, you ain't seen nothing yet. I give it a full 72 hours before she sees the funny side.
And you'll have sleep in the spare room because she will be able to smell cat s
t on you, no matter how much you protest you've scrubbed yourself.
Really though, proper comedy moment.![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)

Alas, this thread will remain picture free- mrs emsman would actually combust if she knew the full story.
She is having a bad time at work, the last 12 months has been utterly dire, and just when you think nothing else can go wrong, I get the brushes out and turn the house into a s
tty paint puddle.
I have just accepted that I appear to have turned into some form of walking disaster, but I of course have 2 things in my side:
1/. Thick skin- thinner since setting myself alight
2/. The ability to laugh at myself- a bloody good job really

Having had a s
t 12 months- job lost, accident in garden, lost hearing, eyesight failing- along with some general background s
te that continues.....
I decided to actually get up and do something useful in the house this morning.
It's the first time I have felt well enough to do so, so an early morning coffee, I know, I shall start painting the lounge.
Great. Cleared the lounge, sheeted everything so as not to make a mess.
One coat on the ceiling, let's roller the Walls.
Magic. Quick ciggie, then off we go again.
Only, it erm, er, didn't quite work out.
No dear reader, it didn't work out at all. Came in from smoke to smell godawful stench of cat s
t. Sniff, sniff, f
king things, why does she want cats. Walk into lounge, sniff,sniff.
No sign of s
t. Hear commotion by back door- a sort of cat fighting type noise.
Go to investigate.
Trip over dust sheet.
See paint tin on step ladder (I never knew my real ladder) fall, due to sheet being pulled
Lunge across room to catch it.
Step in paint tray.
Skid.
Swear b
k bag was splitting due to skid
Scream
Miss paint tin
Fall over
Smeared in cat s
t- shoe, trouser leg, arm and watch
Sit and laugh- better than crying surely?
That was 7 hours ago.
I have just finished clearing up.
s
t all over me and the carpet- it's a light beige carpet so the s
t showed up a lot
Until it had 4 litres of White paint over it for good measure- that's covered it.
Been using a carpet cleaner all day, just about done, any remaing marks will be covered by a beautiful catskin rug.
Time for a beer, a fag and wait for mrs emsman to get home
