Been trying for bloody hours to get this damn rowing machine back in the box it came out of.
Driving me nuts !!
Anyone actually enjoy packing? Want to pop over and help??

Its designed that way, bit like the extra screw thats always left over when you take somthing apart and put it together again..
Also you know when you finally get it in the bloody box and ship it half way around the globe and unpack it on the other side a piece will be missing.
Sling it now and save yourself the hassle.

ENJOY it?? Well, I suppose someone must! Am on my 35th box and never want to see bubble wrap again! This evening is the biggest challenge - I have a triangular chest of drawers (wide at the bottom, v narrow at the top) - and I have to wrap it! Wait for the bad language!!

It's true, us girls are good at packing. I have to admit to enjoying packing...something satisfying about making things fit. Maybe it's just me.

I don't mind it that much but when you get to the 30th odd box it loses it's appeal somewhat!
Husband is completely bloody useless and has been banned from packing anything fragile.
He managed to shatter one of our beautiful picture frames before he'd finished wrapping it!
" I only knelt on it!"
"Oh, can't really understood how it broke then..............."
If you want something doing........

Only sticking up for the mans perspective of things
. I havn't met you but I have no doubt whatsoever that there is nothing canine about you whatsoever. Though with the threat in mind I might take a pony with me if we go diving together.

Have you ever looked at your xmas pressie from you man and thought " blimey our 2 year old wraps better than this"?
