    If any of you have any pity left to spare, please forward!

    I’m spending the weekend getting all printing done. Come Monday, I have to start printing 500 (!!) 580 x 580mm vinyl decals. Should keep the SP 300 happy! I also have to move to my new house next weekend, so lots of trouble from the missus if I’m not home to help packing in the evenings. The lady moving into my old place wants to move in Saturday, I wanted to spend Sat and Sunday to move into MY new place, whose current occupants are only able to move Tuesday, because the place they’re moving to will only be vacated by Monday!! Confusing? Maybe stay at work 24/7?

    Been there done that Gert :lol1:

    You are in a no win situation with the missus I’m afraid. Been married 24 years, and I’ve done everything wrong there is to do 😕 more than once I might add. (I’m a slow learner 😳 )

    Coincidentally, I’ve got to print 320 400mm x 500mm panels by Tuesday. Although I’m not moving, I can’t start the job until stock comes in monday lunchtime, and I’ve promised the wife we’ll go out monday night 😮

    Being married for 24 years is no problem. Being married for 24 years TO THE SAME WIFE, thats a whole new story!! Only been married 3 and a bit years myself. (to the same woman!) She already called once, and SMS’ed twice today "How long, when home, baby flippin difficult" Know what to expext when (if?) I go home today.

    Sorry Gurt, don’t do pity or sympathy at all!! You made your bed now you have to lay in it so to speak.

    I was Happily married to the same woman for 20 years but apparently she wasn’t 😮 Being on my own I miss the company but not sure if I want to go through it again.

    Good luck with the move, hope everything works out OK for you and you are able to keep your customers happy at the same time.

    oh dear…. Our 25th anniversary next year coincides with my parents 50th wedding anniversary…

    Dad always gave the standard answer when I used to confide in him my woes early in my marriage… He kept saying (and still says 😛 ) I TOLD YOU SO… not alot of sympathy there…

    I’m told it gets better when the kids leave home… My eldest is 12…. got a few years yet, but I’ll tell you if it gets better… 😉

    Shane, I don’t know if it gets better I have never thought to ask my Mum and Dad that but things certainly do change. My parents have been married 54 years and after we all left home my Mum and Dad started doing all the things they wanted to do but couldn’t because they either couldn’t afford it or they were restricted because of having four of us to look after. They are hardly ever in these days, in fact at the moment they are in Florida, they have wanted to go back there for a few years now but felt it might be a bit expensive for them. As it’s my Mum’s 75th and my Dads 80th birthday this year my Brother and Sister paid for them to go as a birthday present
