    Default Man cave!!

    So me and DH are sitting here watching Tanked and they're installing an aquarium into some guys Man Cave...
    Now I've heard of these, seen these etc...but now DH thinks he NEEDS one with a pool table in...like our 3 bed semi has a room big enough for a pool table?!
    Do you know what, I'm happy just to have my spinny chair in my office/entrance hall so I can take a cuppa out there, curl up and read my kindle lol

    Man Cave...yeah right

    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    I'm with you nice place to read my book and I am happy. Had so little time to read recently i have started taking ds for a bath with me he sits one end happily splashing and I get to relax. It is the only time I get a moments break from him bless him a 8months he kind of has a really small attention span unless in water.

    What about a shed at the bottom of the garden for your DH.

    Lol!! Yeah if he can move in it with all the toys that are in there!
    If the house was bigger and we had a spare room...then I'd say go for it, but its not so he's stuck in the lounge with me lol

    I was going to say what happened to men having a shed at the bottom of the garden, man cave indeed. If they have a man cave I want a woman retreat, but I suppose I would have to get a man first

    My DS (12) would like a 'man cave', I've promised he can have a shed lol

    In fairness, he's in a house of hormonal women, the rest of the house is my workplace, and only has the box room for a bedroom, so I think he's going to need his own space fairly soon lol

    Mr wobble has a massive shed at the side of the house. It contains all his tools, a primes stove and a little heater. It is decorated with rock music posters ( black sabbath etc) and motorbike posters. It also holds my buggy.

    Dh has a man drawer. Perhaps you could offer your dh this as a compromise?
    Apologies for the random full stops. Phone buttons too small, thumbs too big.

    I don't think I could squeeze dh in a drawer. Im not saying its impossible but he is very tall and my drawers are quite small

    Of course, get him to do all the bits of DIY you need with the promise he can have his man cave once his finished and hey presto...

    My husband calls the garage his 'man cave'! He has a darts board out there and he meets with the next door neighbour and has a beer or coffee out there!
    Like my ideas on Facebook 'Play, naturally'
