How do their little grey cells work.

Helping er’ in doors put a fitted sheet over the bed mattress, and the sheet is quite big.

She says “Oh not that one it’s too big”

I said “Well if you can’t use it, throw it away”.

She says “Oh no, I may need it later”………
They make great motorcycle dust sheets .

Now I know that, makes me wish I had kept the beeza.
They soak up oil aswell .

Today the Mrs said she was about to order a new head for the Henri Hoover as it wasn’t picking up as well as it used to. She said there were two sizes and she told me that I must stop work and go and measure the diameter.

She showed me the picture of the part.

I pointed out that the one she was looking at was not correct as ours has a spinning blade to pick up debris and she should check it isn’t tangled with hair.

She then got angry and told me that ours did not have a spinning blade, I explained I had cleaned it a few times and showed the cleaner how so I knew it did, she refused to believe me, left the office and went home to check. Ages later she returned and said it did have a spinning blade.

I just said, I thought she might have remembered that she had once cleaned it too….and so started the tirade on just how smug I was etc…?

Tonight I stripped the spinning blade, removed lots of debris and lubricated the bearings….did a demo of how it worked…silence from her.

Yep, then you can wrap them up in the oversized sheet afterwards for disposal.

Surely you must know that whilst the Mrs is not always right, she is never wrong. (well, not mine anyway)
