Excellent

Wow, I'm impressed at Christmas'prowess at jumping fences, too. Bet you can't do that, Snod!
Oh, I got a great laugh at the picture of Laura, heaved up by her belt and trying to take a swing at him! So funny! I love the way they're taking stabs at each other all the time. Or at least she's taking stabs at him, while he keeps deflecting, good naturedly. Lots of fun!
Check UPVC DOOR. Shouldn't you have a capital 'U' there?
I love that she's turning the table on him with her own plan. Good for her!
Oh, now she's really giving him a hard time. "Go! Just sit over there where I won't be tempted to knock you upside your head."
Don't make him too brow-beaten, Snod. I wouldn't want him to lose his macho appeal.
"I'll tell you what, though. After that display, I'm reconsidering our life together. That act came a little too easily for my liking." Loved it. Cracked me up again.
Really enjoying this story, Snod. If it were in book form, I'd be turning pages. Good job!

Nope, uPVC is the odd-looking, but correct, capitalisation. I did check.

Actually, my gate rolls are pretty impressive, at least they were when I was an avid hiker. I also remember an ex-soldier boasting how he could negotiate a 7 foot wall in five seconds, and thinking what a useful life-skill that was in his new job as van driver.

Glad you enjoyed the chapter. I wasn't particularly turned on by the prospect of writing this one, but actually I quite enjoyed it too.

Than ks for the review

Christmas. a name? this distracted me a little but perhaps it was explained earlier on?

"Okay. I offered." nice touch of humour - good bantering style

a pessimistic twist. - like the turn of phrase!

good action thoughtful measures taken a tad unrealistic but for the sort of thing u were aiming for - perfect! xx

Thank you. yes, it was his name, introduced earlier. i met a guy by the name of Christmas once, and as this character had used various aliases, this seemed too unlikely to be a made up one.

Thanks for the review

Even at the end of their little drama, she is still bossing him around. Good chapter. I think they are starting to get along a little better.
