My Partner Has Reservations Regarding My Toothbrush Charger Solution…

Me (English) says: ‘So here you are darling, I know that you hated having the toothbrush charger just sat on the floor so I’ve found a solution. It was a mere five euros from Troc. 5 Euros! Look at the craftsmanship!

Can you imagine finding anything like it for that price in the UK? It’ll be a conversation starter for all our friends when they come around. Our English friends will marvel at the low price, and ask questions about its original purpose, while our French friends will find the non-traditional placement of a very French piece of furniture quaint and amusing.

Did I mention it was only five euros? I really think it ties the landing together. Look at the craftsmanship. All for only 5 euros. What do you think darling?’

 

She (French) says: ‘Why do we have a bread bin upstairs?’

Cats Are Useless At D.I.Y….

Bought some furniture, decided today would be a good day to build it. Mother-in-law suggested I might like some help from her partner.

 

He has a short fuse. I have a short fuse.

 

Not a good idea.

 

I don’t like building flat-pack furniture with other people. The instructions suggested I should build this item with other people:

 

 

If I built this unit with 2 other people I would soon be on the front page of the French newspapers for killing 2 other people.

 

I really, really don’t like building flat-pack furniture.

 

I had an idea, maybe my new feline friend could help me:

 

 

He didn’t seem too interested, and repeatedly failed to pass me any dowels, either of my screwdrivers and not one single screw.

 

He was a ‘silent’ partner throughout the process. Probably for the best really…

 

 

Furniture built + cat still alive = result.

 

I still really, really don’t like building flat-pack furniture.
