Hello to you... over the pond! Love the accent, even in written form.
Dear, sweet, woman, you remind me SOOOOO much of my best friend. She has the same issues with her hubby, and, for some part, I also had issues with my xH on these kind of things.
You know what will get your hubby moving, pronto, on that deck of yours? A-guarantee, it will NOT FAIL. Promise.
Ya gotta change the 'tude, woman. You can have whatever you want from your Hubby. I can tell you how, if you will LISTEN to me.
