Loved the story in today’s news of the woman who took out a home improvement loan and tried to hire a hitman to off her hubby.
Most women have probably felt like killing their other half at some time, particularly if he is slobbing about making the place look untidy but taking out a loan is a tad extreme. Could this lady not have sent her partner on a boozy weekend to Prague with the boys and just moved before he got back?
Twelve months ago when the banks would still lend money to anyone for anything it might have been a better idea but it the current economic climate difficult questions are being asked:
“What improvements do you intend to make to your home Mrs. Pikey?
“I wanna get rid of a ugly eyesore.”
“You think getting rid of this eyesore will add value to the property.”
“Oh yeah, bastards cosses me a fortune in beer and takeaways.”
“And is the eyesore on the front or rear of the property?”
“Nah, ee’s usually snorin’ on the settee...”

Somehow I think this woman would do better stcking to the traditional justification for a home improvement loan, a new conservatory. Then she should drug her hubby, cut his throat with the breadknife and bury him under the foundations of the extension.
