Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

Did a bit of sewing, patched up hubby's jeans. He always gets holes in the legs.I have to undo all the seam in the legs to patch them up. I always keep his old ones so i can use them for patching.

 

Hi,

We made our wills out a few years ago the solicitor charging £200 + Vat per hour; I virtually wrote the will; when we arrived back home after collecting our new wills I found I was now married to Mrs Brown. This was a top solicitors in Huddersfield. It's time we changed them again but not with the same solicitors otherwise I might end up married to another wife. I think solicitors are legalized villains; overpaid; underworked and untrustworthy.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

Lasting Power of Attorney is another example of solicitors cashing in on people's fear of making a mistake.

A couple of months ago, I arranged LPA to step in and help Mum if she needs it. Both a health LPA and a finance LPA.

I was surprised how easy it was to do. Again getting all the signatories together was the time taker.

I was already helping Mum out - eg. sourcing the cheapest electricity supplier - on-line - to make sure that she got the best possible deal. The finance LPA is now legitimising what I was already doing .

 

Same here with hubs jeans, why do they always get holes in them..we do the same kind of jobs around the house and in the garden but I don't get holes.

I leave him to patch his own up, he's a dab hand at hand and machine sewing.


Hubs and I had a back row cinema date this morning

We saw The Personal History of David Copperfield. Thoroughly enjoyed it

 

I always get holes in jeans.
I repair them myself ,I stick a patch on the inside with Copydex ,press with an iron.
They last twice as long ,I find I come attached to various pairs and can’t let them go .

 

I have three favourite pairs of jeans.

End of summer, pre-Christmas (a size up), after Christmas (another size up) and back to end of summer

I've got a baggy, holey pair of jeans for gardening and other messy jobs. I never worry about being seen in them. I'm thinking the sight of me with a shovel in my hands encourages people to keep their distance

 

I have two pairs of gardening jeans, a pair of knee length jeans for the garden during the summer and numerous jean shorts too. I have several 'smart ' pairs that I wear when going out. They are so hard wearing and can stand a lot of rough jobs.

 

Before we were married hubby used to take in his shirts and move the buttons over on the cuffs so that they were tighter. The i offered to do them, he also has the sleeves shortened. He's not that slim anymore so i don't take them in and i found out that he doesn't do up the cuffs, he just rolls the cuffs up a bit, so i don't have to do it anymore.

Hubby wears jeans all the time, eventually the fabric goes in the zip area that's when he gets a new pair.
He did change the style of them so that they would be more comfortable.

I wouldn't wear shorts when I'm gardening because i always get bitten by insects.

 

What do you mean ' the fabric goes in the zip area'......... best not to answer this @Logan

 

Hi,

I always wear these having clean for daily wear; well worn for workshop wear;

Men's Cargo Trousers 31

They are so comfortable; I've got about six pair; not always available so I keep a lookout when I need any. Jeans are out for me being too stiff and uncomfortable; the pockets on the cargos are very useful.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

Yes hubs has a couple of pairs of grey cargo ones too, it's a pain going through all the pockets for screws,nails, bolts,washers...you name it ..it's in his pockets!!
