Up untill last year we had a 6 x 8 ft shed at the bottom of our garden, quite adequate in my opinion to keep the kids bikes, lawn mower etc etc in. However my hubby's mate bought himself a rather large shed though not sure of the size. My OH then decided that we needed a bigger shed so went and bought a 8 x 12 ft shed and insisted that we kept the smaller shed for the kids bikes etc as the new shed was his 'work shop' for restoring his lambretta. Needless to say its still in bits. But I digress the other week OH came home from work with not 1 but 2 of the plastic garden storage boxes. When asked why he simply stated that 1was to keep the kids paddling pool footballs etc in (Whats wrong with the shed they've always been kept in god only knows) and the other was for all his pond paraphernalia. In case you were wondering no the sheds are not fit to bursting in fact the larger of the 2 sheds is relatively empty, we did not need more garden storage it just seems to be taking over. Does anyone else have an other half who is obsessive or is it just me.

My partner likes collecting tools - the more the merrier - and they can take up a lot of space. My suggestion is that you start saving, Charlie, and buy your partner a small shipping container and rent some land to put it on. This is what we've ended up doing.

Just say 'No.' It's a garden, not a storage depot. Get rid of everything except the original shed and say if he wants more space, he can go up but not out!
Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.

Look on the bright side - there should be room for a camp bed in the new shed so he can be banished from the house if necessary. Sounds like bliss to me.

He is already equipped with a fishing bed in the shed, just in case he can't get in the house after a session with the lads, and on those cold nights he has an electric heater. He also has a TV and stereo in case he gets bored, but hasn't taken the hint about moving in.

When Mrs Bogweevil kept the back door locked and left my dinner on the doorstep I got the message.
