Well Mr.Ruby came home and was rather impressed as I recounted my days inventiveness until I got to the bit about the stretchy hooky things.....
him: "do you really need ALL of them dear?'
me: :well, I s'pose I could make do with just 2 or 3, of course it won't help me as much but if you need them"...(insert
here a pathetic trailing-off of the voice coupled with an ever so slight sigh).
him (striding into the sewing room): "Oh well, let's just have a look and see exactly what you've done then"
me (doing the "ta-dah" hand flourishes whilst opening the door to the sewing room): "here then...whatcha think huh?"
him: "huh, looks pretty smick-oh, pretty clever of you actually.....I guess i could order some more of those stretchy hook
things next time I'm on t'net"
me: " what a good idea....you could probly do with some extra ones anyway so it's a good idea to order more, smart
thinking love!"
him (striding off and now thinking of something totally different and distracting)
me (happily closing the door to the sewing room and locking it): " tea won't be long love. (insert sweet smile).
