Yeah i know............i was'nt gonna be here for a while but this is the only place that i can act like a maniac and you all understand me............

I am finally having a new garden area laid in the courtyard outside the kitchen. I have waited since March for the stone paving to arrive from flipping India and have been over and over and over and over the plans with El Tel until i was blue in the face. All should be set fair don't you think?

Sooooooooo, what do you think happens when the builders from the former Soviet Union turn up this morning? No, they don't start singing 'Kalinka' or brewing up tea in a samovar............Terry tells them exactly what to do, where to do it (and probably how to do it knowing him).  Only problem was that Terry gave them the WRONG instructions and they rip up mature shrubs and trees from the garden and i am now left with a dust bowl outside the kitchen window.

I hate him, i hope the rest of his hair falls out and he gets ingrown toenails and measles and bubonic plague and leprosy and his nose falls off and then i hope he gets bitten by a rabid rabbit and so on and so forth ad infinitum.........

I told him again and again what i wanted done and he has obviously spent the last 4 months with his head up his butt..........which is nothing compared to what i'm gonna do to him when he gets home.

Well, at least now one more hole to put both Terry's and the driver's cadavers won't add too much to the actual disaster!
And you already have the big toy to help you make the hole!!!  bear_tongue

Sorry to hear Terry has all done wrong with the workers.
Maybe he will do all his possible from now to please you.
So if there is something you've always wanted, it's time to ask him: now or never, honey!

Sorry again i cannot really be helpful!

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

PS: Doesn't your courtyard look like the surface of the moon. Maybe a good opportunity to take a few futuristic pictures of moonling bears in your courtyard!

OMG Pen!!!!
Holy moly!!!
Oh, I'd be rippin' mad too! I can just imagine all the other choice words you kindly omitted here that desribe exactly how you feel and what you think of Terry! Perhaps you could put a cardbaord box out there under your kitchen window and write "Terry's House" on it for when he comes home.

Can you think of that barren space as an empty pallet..... just awaiting your green thumb to grow the most beautiful new garden.... you can do anything you want with it.......... perhaps even hire someone to make a statue of Terry with his head up his butt to put in the middle!  :crackup:

Aww, Pen, I'm so sorry! They are all alike, those men (sorry guys but sometimes it has to be said and is true!).

Oh my...girls I'm pretty sure we are going to hear the wrath of PenPen clear across the seas!!!

I personally like Daphne's statue idea...it's could serve as a not so subtle reminder to all the men in our lives who chose to do things "their way."

Penny...I'm truly sorry...what a mess.  Poor Figaro looks like he's planning his own wrath.

Hugs,
Shantell

bear_original  Hmmm . . . A couple of fresh corpses would certainly make your new plantings grow bear_thumb

But in your shoes the first thing I'd do would be to buy myself a really really expensive doll or bear. Or two. Of each bear_cool

BANG!!

:crackup:  :crackup: Not for you Penny, but for the man of your choice......husband, workmen bear_whistle......

I'm so sorry Penny!  I would be hopping mad too.....it's a criminal offense (or should be) to murder perfectly nice shrubs, trees, flowers, etc. bear_angry  The head-up-the-butt thing.......must be pretty much universal for men, hence the woman's job of supervising in ALL things!! I love the statue idea as well.......wish I could buy one of Darren for my backyard! :crackup:

Maybe this would be a perfect time to bring up the bathroom remodel again, Penny?  Put on the guilt trip maybe. bear_grin  bear_whistle   Or, "I won't kill you if...............(fill in blanks here bear_grin ) :crackup:

Oh my Lord...why does it not surprise me??!!  They're all the same (sorry boys, we go on loving you, but its true).  If the do to/ how to isn't stapled to their remote control operating hand they are bound to mess it up.  I told my husband I'm going to have his forehead tattooed with "I forgot" just so he doesn't have to waste time and air saying it and I will never ever have to physically hear those words again  :doh:  :crackup:  :doh: 

We have a pretty good sense of humor, my husband and I, even when really mad...I would have just thanked him for clearing out where I'm going to hide the shrub beaten body. :crackup:  bear_innocent  :crackup:

Ahh, how awful for you.  You just can't imagine what is going on in men's minds sometimes - maybe that's the trouble - nothing is going on in them.  I am so sorry you lost your precious plants, and I am so sorry for the poor little plants being squished by that enormous "Boy Toy".  Still, you must start again, and strive for the most beautiful garden ever, and I think the idea of the statue in the middle of is would be a wonderful memorial to your dear Terry.

Oh Penny, I'm so sorry!  I think men are like litters of puppies - there is ususally one really  brainy one  per litter, and if you pick the one with the brain, you're fine, but most of us don't have that kind of luck LOL!  I would be ready to plant him permanently under the new stone patio!

Deer Penny,
Poor you girl, for anyone who loves their garden and to have it ripped out like that, no wonder Hubby has had his life expectancy shorten.
And if he get's all your wishes for him, no pictures please that would be too scary.
bear_flower  bear_flower  bear_flower Extra flowers for you.
Cheers Susan

Penny you are so funny even though I am sure you could throttleTerry.Now that they have left your garden bare is it possible to get yourself a nice conservatory as there is enough space-I am sure your cats would love it.It might cost more than the slabs but you are in a good bargaining position bear_whistle You have to make good a bad situation :dance:

AAaaaawwww Penny, I know how you feel to a certain extent.  When I go out Hubby gets the chain saw out to prune some trees back.  When I get home something like my favorite weeping cherry is left like a stick.  I can't imagine how I would feel with it all bulldosed.
