Our other halves.

[Bren.]

There was a thread a while ago asking for pictures of your other halves, and I did look at it. It was all well and good, but a bit unsatisfactory. It did get me wondering, who are these people and what do they do.

I've been with Bid for 14 years now and we have 3 kids. Mungo, Lola and Tilly.

Not only is she a fantastic mother, but a very talented craftswoman.

She is a Book-binder and conservator, specialising in making bespoke enclosures for old and important objects, some of which are deeply cool (I've had the boots that Hillary wore to climb Everest in my house).

She can make a m2 box out of millboard that I (15 st) can stand on and it won't collapse. She is also a qualified Tool-maker, which I find very handy and sharpens tools way better than I can, let her loose with a knife and her Tormek and the results are scary sharp.

So come on big up your missus here.

My wife had a chainsaw ticket long before she ever met me. She is a great help with the logs and the workshop. On top of this she has 1 degree and is well on her way to a second as a nurse. Yep big up to my better half

My other half has none of the above.

 

But.

 

She runs the house, looks after the kids, ensures they have clean clothes and food, ensures I have food when I come home, moans and stops me spending all my money on tools or toys, and gives me unconditional love.

 

What more could a man possibly need.

Not a thing (hope she lets the odd tool or toy slip through the net though.

Tools and toys ?

Well. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. :lol:

 

If they are for work that's ok. So the remote control tank helps me at the workshop. :lol:

Bren good thread . My lady of 23 yrs does my accounts and also sends out quotes and all invoices . When in need she turns up and operates the chipper and drags the brash . If she breaks a nail well I got to sort it lol . Mother of our two sons . Love her to bits . Although I really hate it after a hard days graft when I get home she's got the bloody mower out . Oh and I,m 42 and my lady has put up with some crap over the years . So thats over half my life Ive actually spent with J lol .

My partner has a very stressful job in the city, her 5 yr old son who is severely autistic is dropped of 5 mins after she gets home. He's on the go and doesn't sit down till he falls asleep, sometimes 11 pm. She never loses her temper with him and her only objective for him is that he's happy.

There's always shredded wheat in the cupboard for me when I'm staying(that's love) and makes time for me also.
