He's Interesting Is Mr Alba

[albaqwerty]

some weeks back, working on a site which has to be cleared completely, he came home with a kettle and it's little stand thingy.
A couple of days later, he came home with a loo seat, which was missing a few screws/nuts, so he came home with another one a few das after that, so between 2 loo seats, we have one which works.

No, he has not purloined, the entire building is getting stripped out and that includes the store-room :-D

Anyone have another half who comes home with odd stuff?

(ps, kettle and loo seat were needed anyway!!)

[ummmm]

No...but my step dad used to he. He cleared houses for the council and would come home with loads of various things.

My oh once had to clear a patch of ground for a builder and he came home with a lovely bird bath, we still have it 20 years on, waste not want not.

Not quite the same, Albs....but the first MrG, in lieu of maintenance for his son, gave him an old money one armed bandit????....x
The second MrG bought a blingy watch from a man in Las Vegas.....he felt sorry for the man who had no money left to get home.....oh yeah!!!!!

My father used to bring car parts home just in case and mother used to bring home strays!

Must be like Christmas and Birthdays rolled in to one every day alba:-)

My dad used to work for the bank and they must have been moving offices or something and he came home with a Filing Cabinet.

It's now keyless and OH had to break into it for mum a few years back.

[albaqwerty]

oh dear lawd, my lovely abers, am so glad I'm not alone

LB, well only when he brings home useful stuff :-D x

[albaqwerty]

Queenie, even Mr Alba didn't think that would be a good idea quite some time ago lol
(I hope he knows his limits !!) xx

My father was a very keen gardener and wouldn't leave the unless he had a small plastic bag and a penknife in his pocket. We had the best stocked garden in the area :-)

[cupid04]

Only me. Nearly 40 years ago now. And he let me stay ;-))

I dread to think what 'er indoors would say if I brought a used loo seat home

[cupid04]

Probably crown you with it...

[Georgiesmum]

I think you would end up wearing it like a horse collar!

[albaqwerty]

Hoppy, you can breathe a sigh of relief, both loo seats were in their plastic bags in sealed boxes :-)
If they had been used, then sure as diddly would be following Cupes and Georgiesmum's advice :-D

[janzman]

this is how to do it...

[murraymints]

melv..me too !!

[TWR]

If It's useable, I will keep it, It takes a lot for me to throw things away only to find, dam, I need that.
