    Just a suggestion, Wendy (and I admit I have shamelessly lifted this directly from The Code of Practice and just made appropriate Sheila-like amendments)

    9. Shed Attire for Shed Girl

    [INDENT]9.1. Colour. Colours and varying combinations thereof are entirely at Shed Girl’s choosing. The following guidelines are provided to help Shed Girl make appropriate choices
    9.1.1. It is recommended that the base colour of a given garment shall not vary from its original colour by more than 0.5 degrees of colour temperature or be less than one shade lighter – measured with the aid of a Pantone colour swatch.

    9.1.2. Randomly-placed highlights of different shades of paint, glue, varnish, oil, grease, food and drink ingredients etc, will be considered to constitute a Code violation if they are not hit with every proprietary brand of stain remover within 3 (three) minutes of initial contact with Shed Girl’s attire.

    9.1.2.1. Alternatively, and as a substitute for proprietary stain removers, Shed Girl can elect to use a potion handed down through the female line of the last seven generations of her family, or
    9.1.2.2. A mixture of organic herbs, Guava jelly, wholemeal biscuit crumbs and the essential oils of 9 different sub-species of Andalusian juniper berries (this mixture may not remove the stain but it will make Shed Girl feel better about the environment).

    9.1.3. Footy club colours are not acceptable unless Shed Girl can demonstrate precise knowledge of her selected team’s position on the current league ladder and details of the score from their most recent match. Failure to observe this provision shall not constitute a Code violation but it might lead to Shed Girl being subjected to blokely derision from blokes within her circle.

    9.1.4. Pink. Pink is not recommended as a base colour for any garment because it is too easily confused with the type of faded red worn by blokes in sheds.

    9.1.5. Shed Girl shall commit a Code violation if she does not wear at least one garment in a colour that bears the same name as a variety of fruit.

    Toodle Pip!

    Hmmm............. why does KISS suddenly come to mind ....


    Shed Girl's Code of Practice:
    Shed Girl can do whatever she wants, when she wants, how she wants, and why she wants, wearing whatever she wants, using whatever she likes, however she likes, just like she does in the house.



    TaaaDaaaaa!!!!

    Perfect.... so long as you have made a list & stuck it on the fridge or near the phone or in a (now disused) handbag.
    Said list will be ignored, forgotten, &/or lost for about 3 weeks & then binned due to it being out of date & a new one has been started somewhere else after 3 minutes of looking for the old one.

    Maybe 3 minutes is a bit long.... ...you better make that 3 seconds.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    It is all about location location location. The shed should be close to the kitchen and the washing lines.

    To steal from "The Life of Brian", Wongo you have Biggus Ballsus to make a statement like that.

    Perfect for grabbing that coffee or snack, some baking paper to do some glueing and for hanging up items that have just had their finish applied and need to dry without anything touching them

    Er, Wendy. Not disputing the score, you understand but that should be

    Ladies 2
    Blokes 0

    In connection with these forums (and in accordance with a sub-section about to be added to the Code of Practice) Gents is a term only to be used in the vocative case, as in

    "Gents! Please use The Gents. Thanks, Gents"

    and not in the nominative case.
