A way to an observatory is through a woman's...............

well bribery come in all forms, jewellery, cash, bonds, debentures, illicit photos and the ultimate "FOOD"

She asked me what I would like for Christmas ................................I mean whats a man to say ................................... I am begging ................................... ...please ................................... ...... ,.........................it will save my back .............................clean up my room ..........................keep me off the streets ................................... make me a better man ................................... ....give me something I have wanted all my life , well almost .

So I cooked dinner, husband style .


So do you think it will help

I have left brochures on garden sheds, and hardware around the house for ages. Time to face her like a man, get her when she least expects it

during that same smile she said we need to get 2 awnings and vertical blinds on 7 windows. that's more that the observatory I was proposing. there goes my money for this year. but on the bright side she didn't say NO!! there is still life, there is hope, there is the 2 January - that's well into next year .

Would they happen to be the awnings where one of them reaches way out into the yard with walls and a concrete floor and a slide of section?

If you have enough stashed away to buy your shed you can always say that you won it on the IIS competition "Win a Shed to build an Observatory".

You cooked Her dinner on the BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sh rug:
No wonder She wants window awnings and vertical blinds.

Where is the chocolate desert?

Dave,
you need some serious instruction into a Woman's concept of great food.
BBQ's don't count. That is a man's job anyway, so it doesn't impress the ladies at all.
My Wife just laughed when I showed her the photo's.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are going to have to do way more than that.
PM me with her favourite foods and I will send you some recipes to get her juices flowing.
You are going to have to do it the hard way, on the stove, send her out for the day, then clean the house. That will impress her the most.
Then when she comes home, you should have a wonderful meal cooking, ON THE STOVE.
It's not that hard to do really, the effort to do it it is the key, Ladies appreciate that the most.
Candles are good on the table, to set the mood. Get the kids off to bed, if you have them of course.
Now we have a Romantic atmosphere, WOW, something not done since after marriage in most cases.
Go for it. and you can have anything you want.

Mike.

No no to the contrary, she loves BBQ's, BBQ'ed tomatoes, onions and cooked mushies. these are some of her favourite things

and I made eyes and everything, onions and a steak mouth

Tell her that the BBQ needs to be adequately stored under a domed roof so that you can cook her more BBQ meals... rain, hail or shine....and it would also be used to store a telescope or two.........
