Mine were £11 plastic dustbin with lockable lids and I bought two taps and then drilled 25mm holes and fixed the taps

I feel a copycat weekend coming on....lockable bins you say...? Might let Small Child customise them with paints in Spring. See, in my mind I already have them....

Make sure the OH has a 25mm timber drill bit to form the hole for the taps before you buy the bins

OI! Waddya mean 'Make sure the OH has a 25mm timber drill bit'? ? ? 

I am fully kitted up and capable DIY-wise mister!

Excuse us women for being able to use drills and saws

MC there is a difference there, I didn't question Surbies ability, only the ownership of the tools that she would need. There are many abled ladies out there but when with a partner how many actually own the tools?

There you try and do a kindness and point out the tools that will be required and if not owned and it blows up in your face

I would just keep quiet if I were you

But why is she a tomboy just because she can use tools

Naughty MC - You are trying to draw me in like a lamb to the slaughter  Do I , Don't I 

OK May as well be hung for a Sheep as a Lamb, I will only say, traditional Pink Jobs and Blue Jobs, and Stereotypical Profiling means one could get labelled and a Tomboy or a Niceboy 

Now that's not to say there isn't something sexy about Tomboys, one of those that I still fancy Felicity Kendal, something about her in those dungarees

My parents raised me to ignore old-fashioned stereotypes, to be independent and to believe I can do what I set my mind to. And that's how my stepdaughter will be raised. None of that needs to be labelled by outdated gender slants or considered somehow unusual. I do find the casual sexism pretty boring.

And that's my piece said. Will stick to gardening.

So - how long do we drown weeds for?
