Well, we have moved into the new (150 year old) cottage.
One room nearly decorated, save for a coat of varnish on the floor.
Stripped, re-plastered, primed, painted-window,skirts etc as well as walls.
So...............

Having sanded, filled and prepped the floor, it's varnish time

One coat applied. Need more varnish
Dispatch other half to B&Q to get more.
The important bit:

I WAS UPSTAIRS in the room, when I hear a car outside, then a swear word then a cry of: I have had an accident

I look out of the window to see the missus panicking as the 5 litres of varnish has been dropped, the lid has popped off, and it is now in the footwell, the steering wheel, screen, stereo etc.

Right then PH detectives: Who's fault Is the spillage?

Answer..............................







Despite not being anywhere near the incident, it is (to quote) 'your fking fault for using all of the varnish- if you hadn't used as much, I wouldn't have had to fking go out on my fking day off to get more of the fking stuff you fking need for the job YOU are fking doing.and stop laughing, it isn't fking funny you (too explicit for a family orientated website).

So, my brush is washed, I'm going on the piss.

I guess this answers the thread about the possibility of there being normal women out there...

Wasn't there a similarly themed thread here a couple of days ago? The uncomprehending OP said (from memory)'Other than being a male, how was it my fault?'.

Respect to anyone who can laugh at the sight of the inside of their chariot covered in B&Q varnish.

In good old PH style, she must be cheating on you!!!

On the other hand scensoredt happens, its always easier to blame the OH.

Hope the Volvo is a work horse and not a decent model.

Might be. Did your mum regularly put out for two pints of Watneys red barrel back in 1984? wink

And the real disaster?


You shouldnt use varnish on floors. It will scab and flake and look a real mess in no time.

Much better to use Wax or oil.

She should sue you for that, take you for every penny, probably got whiplash from dropping the tin, then theres criminal damage, covering herself in varnish thats GBH right there....

What I would have done is strained out a stinker on the floor and used that instead of the varnish, then when she came up, just point and shout "Now look what you have done"
