Oops!

I'm in deep shit. Lisa was visiting Terri with Pearl in London and having a girly day out. Half an hour after she left, a friend of mine rang and asked if I fancied a pint. Of course I did and off we went. In the pub, I was summoned to Sunday lunch once he found out I was on my own for the day. So be it, off we went for a great spread (Cheers Peter and Angela). Only trouble was that Peter is a lover of red wines (as am I). Much wine sampling later, I was taken back to the boat a tad unsteady on my pins awaiting Lisa's return. I promptly fell asleep and Lisa could not revive me by banging on the boat and shouting through the closed portholes. Oops. 20 minutes in freezing weather did not improve her mood and much chastising and shouting at me ensued.

I'm now in the dog house. Even the dog's not in the dog house. Am I in the shit? Yip. Will I be in the shit for some time? Yip. Well I be forgiven? Sometime in the new year I should imagine. Lisa doesn't do forgiveness particularly well.

(Note to self. Get Lisa a key cut)

I don't think you should blame yourself. Women have a genetic inability to weigh up a situation and then address it in a logical manner. The normal response of any woman is to use her fists and loud screechy voice first, then cry. I know this as I have a 'wife'. If it were me, I would instantly call a locksmith or an agent from International Rescue, not shout or cry. It's not your fault as much as it isn't Lisa's. As long as she realises this was her mistake, then you can both get over this and have a pleasant Christmas. Make sure you give her the number of a local locksmith and any book by Ray Mears.

I dare you to take a picture of the inside of the boat and hand it to her to look at when next locked out should you go out for a pint...... !

Ohh, you're all big brave soldiers when your backs aren't to the wall, you're not in the firing line and you're not in the vicinity of this boat. All very free and loose with the advice.

Lisa suggests that you come and remonstrate with her face to face if you're big enough (I wouldn't if I were you and I am big enough).

Make him suffer Lisa! Or better still next time he goes out in the snow, close the door behind him then suddenly be struck down with deafness for a couple of hours!!

Witches brew anyone?....

Oh and Carl Men don't have a genetic ability to get anything right!!

As for you Nev, I always thought you were a nice boy....

Pete said...

Hmmmm. I see a clear demarcation between the sexes here. I can't imagine why.

Nev Wells said...

Debbie,

I am really a nice boy and only joined in because of peer pressure, I think Pete should start looking at romantic weekend breaks to Paris and be tea total for 6 months at least.

We're off to Butlins for the folk weekend this coming Friday. Will that do. 6 dry months may be 5 months and three weeks to far.

Debbie said...

Well ok Nev you are forgiven just this once!! The whole thing has had me laughing all day. To top it all someone sent me this joke today...

" Since it's snowed all my wife has done is look through the window! If it gets any worse I will have to let her in!!"

very apt, don't you think?
