Such is life. I think women can be more fussy about the look of things. I worry more about practicalities. We have solid oak flooring through the whole of downstairs, so that would cost a fortune to replace. It's worn in places, but we could get it sanded down. I know my other half has a few plans for the house, but it all gets expensive.
So I was talking to my daughter at my birthday lunch when I said: "I dunno if you shut the front room and kitchen doors it looks OK." to which Monique replied: "Typical bloke! That's exactly what Adam (Her husband) said about our floor!" 🤷♂️
