for some well anticipated project you have planned for ages! Would you be ok doing that provided it frees you from all the hassle and stress working on it gives you?
I was watching the Channel 4 show Secret Removers. In this show, people take charge of the entire move and not only pack away all the home but take total control of makeover and the setting of the new home at their own discretion. The owners of the nominated household meanwhile just enjoy a getaway break and come back to a tastefully decorated set up home!
So basically are you a control freak and want to take charge and over look the minutest of details when it comes to some big, stressful project (it could be house moving, refurbishing, wedding planning etc) or you are the easygoing type and hate the idea of responsibility?
and oh would love to know if somebody has actually done a complete DIY project..would love pics and stories too
Yeah when you know they’re pros and known for doing a good job at what they do, I wouldn’t mind not getting involved. Bunto Kazmi can design a free jora me and I won’t say a word, promise!
Otherwise, with DIY projects, I am a bit of a control freak, yes. And I do get stressed out so much so that I’d probably finish a week’s work in a couple of days just to get it out of the way and take the load off my mind. People usually enjoy wedding planning, I for one found it torturous to be fussing over the colour of the table cloths, the centrepiece, the flower arrangement… ergh!
ok mostly such stuff does come with a cost. But let’s talk about handing complete responsibility to our parents/siblings/relatives. Would you ?
I always thought I was the easygoing type but when it came to big stuff like my wedding and moving etc, I found out that I am kind of a control freak not totally the obsessive compulsive type but yes relatively I had to overlook more or less everything from my wedding dress to venue and decoration.
I am not decisive at times and I need somebody to back my ideas before I execute them but giving something entirely to somebody else so that they do the entire project isn’t something that I would do!
I am not a control freak when it comes to small things. I just let people do the work and watch away. But I think I would kinda want to decide and have a contribution in the final say when it would come to bigger things - like moving into my own house, buying something big or planning my own wedding. Other small day to day ventures don't need much hassling anyway.
Hmm depends. My sister and I did our room together and we painted butterflies n all .. I didn’t let her do the intricate painting because she was too messy She stuck to painting the bigger patterns. I let her choose the colour of the walls though so I’m not too bad… been stuck with gay purple ever since
I’d trust mum and dad’s shopping any time… but not my elder sister’s In the same way, I’m usually the one making rotis everyday but when we have guests over, mum doesn’t trust me with the job I’m giving all stupid examples ain’t I.. it’s just that I haven’t really had to hand some huge responsibility to anyone filhal.
So it depends… one should give the responsibility to whoever they think will do a good job at it.
if only Bunto aunty was that generous !
