Marriage guidance

The decorating of the show room continued in earnest today. This is why I require marriage guidance. Ever since I had a new desk come counter custom made for me I have wanted to put wall paper on the chimney section behind it where we sit. Well yesterday I went and chose the wall paper. This was interesting in itself because boss husband "idiot?" started off telling me I needed eight rolls, then after a re-think he said it was three rolls, so I purchased four rolls to be on the safe side. This afternoon we went down to the show room for what I thought would be a couple of hours to hang the wall paper ready for the rest of the flooring to be laid on Thursday. First drop was pasted and offered up to the wall I was chief holder of wall paper boss husband "idiot?" was brushing down from the top. It was only when he got half way down we noticed the wall paper stopped short of the skirting board by about eighteen inches or so. This was a sign of things to come. We finally got one piece on the wall. The second piece was cut including pattern match. Boss husband "idiot?" said does in reach the skirting? "yes" said I he brushed down from the top. It was about one inch away from the skirting, off to the waste pile went that piece as well. It was only when we tried to hang another piece that we discovered the pattern match was not 26.5cm but was actually 53cm. Off to the waste pile went another piece. After three and a half hours of pasting and arguing we finally got the chimney breast papered. Unfortunately there are two chimney breasts so we will have to do it all again tomorrow!
