    For Sale

    One Man
    34yrs old
    Average build, beer belly is in working progress,

    Can look tidy after nagging,

    He says he "enjoys" cooking but in 11yrs I could count on one hand these ventures,

    Infatuated with football manager game on PC,

    Man U supporter,

    Listens to (very) heavy metal through headphones whilst your watching tv so all you can hear is shh ssshh shhsh (you know what I mean!)

    Says he does not mind you buying a particular item then spends the next three weeks mentioning at every opertunity how much money YOU spent!,

    Has perfected the art of looking bored & miserable whenever you go somewhere you want to go & then asks you why you aren't taking an interest when you are somewhere he wants to go!

    Has great plans for the garden & is always starting them next weekend,

    Would swap for a nice dog

    Helen

    I might even accept a bar of Dairy Milk but it would have to be a large one!!!

    Mmm, think I've got an older version of one of those (with slight variations - but the result is the same), trouble is so many of them were made, you won't get much for him (believe my I've tried :rolleyes: )Advantage is that the garden is all mine! (heh, heh, heh) - well apart from the bits for kids. Cultvate (sorry!) some likeminded friends & take pleasure in your own little Eden outside. - & don't put him in the compost heap - he'll just spoil it..... ;)
