...anyone have to go through anything similar. I've emailed him with my condolences and best wishes.

I've been warned off. :roll:

    :roll: My girlfriend keeps rolling her eyes and tutting at my growing collection of mags, I'm sure I'll be asked to minimise them at some point in the future.

    Bloody Women...they what eveything their own way. It would be different if their shoes, or other such sh!t needed to be thinned out to make some space!!

    I can't leave anything on my own dining room table for more than 24 hours before i start getting the evils from her in doors!!

    Same here. Leave anything on the kitchen units for more than 8 and a half seconds and it is either rammed into a drawer (amazing how she manages to fit more stuff in em) or it is cleared away into shed.

    I have a habit of emptying the contents of the drawers onto the side before I head up to bed so that she has something nice to come down to in the morning :D

    My other half has 21 pairs of flip flops. I mean, how many can she wear at once? I ask you, she's got a pair for every occasion, formal and informal, in every conceivable colour. She has an entire wardrobe just for shoes. It's unbelievable. My mags have to live in the shed. If I even comment on her shoes I get the silent treatment for hours. We were in Mallorca one year and she bought some shoes for 20 euros. She then had to have a handbag to match (don't even get me started on handbags), for which we scoured the island. We eventually found one on Inca market, which cost 3 times as much as the shoes. For a bleedin' handbag. censored . I'm always met with the same thing - "MORE magazines????".

    Ok, I see her point. :D

    I have one pair of very old and battered leather Gul flip flops that have been on innumerable holidays and are well past their sell-by date, but go with everything and do for day and night. There've been holidays where that's all I've ever worn. We could take a case just for her shoes... :roll:

    Ahh yes, this makes me feel so much better...it does appear that they are all the same. Bless their hearts :lol:

    Also, what would we do without our sheds. I have 3. Bikes in one, garden tools in the second and a bike and all my riding gear in the third...luckily she never goes anywhere near them :shock:

    NOT all the same, thank you very much!

    Hate shopping for anything - especially clothes.
    Would love to have a garden with enough room for a shed - bike just has to live safely in the living room with me instead! Not sure what I would put in shed actually - rather like my bike where it is. :lol:

    Her bike's in with mine in one shed (brick built extension type thingy on the front of the house, specially built for the bikes!) and all the tools are in a bombproof thing in the back garden, along with all the stuff for the garden (another passion of ours). Although I'd love to have my bike in the house. I'd rather have my bike in the house overnight than the cat...

    Sorry.....i souldn't generalise....but i bet you spend quite a bit of time looking around your place to tidy things away....come on admit it :lol:

    I would love to keep my bike in the living room...i could then keep my freshly removed balls out in the shed!!

    Know where pretty much everything is, but not sure I would call my place tidy...... It is a house that is lived in! :D

    Don't have time to spend just looking around for things to tidy away - far too busy doing much more interesting things - including biking!!!!
