Good morning Folly mon,
pardon me if I am being a bit personal here but I am trying to help you by keeping the bloomin' missus sweet. Can you not treat her to a little bit of TLC with a day or two with a sister or a friend somewhere nice? A little mini break? Then you could do some of most messy work when she ain't lookin....
Why not start by taking her u p a cup of tea in bed.

?? what have I started here ??

 

As Jenny says, friends are useful for taking women out shopping - saves us having to do it (and the ensuing argument!). WEDGE HER UP!

 

ps - halfway through the day give her a call and tell her to get a new broom!!!

 

Do it Follymon......Gail will be chuffed to bits when it's done.....keep convincing her how amazing it's going to be and she'll have all summer to enjoy it:WINK1:

Hang on a minute......Who's side am i on

 

In order to keep diplomacy alive Loli, you and me gotta spin loadsa plates at the same time methinks,

 

It sound like a brilliant idea Nick! And you've got all the right components to make a start. If you need more inspiration (although you've probably got enough ideas bursting out of your head anyway!) have a look at http://www.redwoodstone.com/ who make amazing follies, and can supply bits and pieces which won't break the bank. Also, they're really nice people to deal with. Have a look at my Chelsea garden "The Pilgrims Rest, as without the materials they supplied, I wouldn't have been able to produce such an amazing structure.

 

sounds a grate idea Jenny

Now Nick, if you try buttering up the other half she's going to suspect you're up to something. You could compromise and leave it until the end of the summer (it's only a few months away) so she can have the garden in one piece for a while. Meanwhile you can get it all planned and ready to go. It will give you a project for later in the year when not much else is happening in the garden.

On the other hand you can try bribery. Come clean and tell her you want to do it now and see what she will accept in exchange, a weekend away or something of the like if you have the pennies to spare.

 

Your Hair looks lovely DON'T CUT IT YET
