Job

I've dipped into another Writing Challenge from Our Write Side - have a look and perhaps have a go!  I took a lot of inspiration from the picture as well as the word.  

           Joe met Diane outside her work.  “I’ve got a great deal,” He told his wife.  “Liam down the road let me have the timber he had stacked for a really low price – half what I would pay in the store.  He told me it would be perfect for a garden shed, all drilled and ready to go.  I can’t wait to get started.”
“Good luck with that job.” Diane sighed.  She knew Joe’s love of a bargain.  He fell for the sales talk every time.  “We haven’t got a garden.”

  1. Cute. Now Diane needs to "sell" Joe on the benefits of fresh vegetables. If he's like most guys, I wish her luck.

  3. If Joe is like my Mister, he has the materials, knows what to do with them, but never quite finds the time to piece it all together.

  4. Well, if they ever do get a garden, he'll have the supplies for the shed!

  6. Haha! I have a friend whose hubby buys bargain materials and THEN decides what he will make though only gets about 90% done with any DIY project. She does a lot of eye rolling. Cute piece!
