Diana's Right of Reply!
The Other Half! |
|
Hello my name is Diana and I am a Bayko wife. |
|
After working as a secretary, I am at present studying as a mature student for a masters degree in creative writing at Manchester Metropolitan University, having gained a B.A. in History in 2005. |
|
My interests are travel, creative writing, walking, and crosswords. |
|
. |
 |
So, what is it like to be married to the Baykoman? |
|
The good part is that it can, if I feel the need, transport me to many places in the UK... |
|
...not that I spend my time actually in a swapmeet or an exhibition – once you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all - but that of course is only the view of an outsider. |
|
I spend the time visiting new places that vary greatly - seaside resorts, city centres and small market towns alike, with a good selection of bookshops, heritage centres and restaurants. |
|
And if I decide to stay at home I can have the place to myself – eat when I like, watch exactly what I want on the television, and generally suit myself. |
|
. |
|
Not so bad I hear you say... |
||
...well what about the down side. |
||
Many years ago, before I met the Baykoman, I was an orderly person. |
||
 |
I was tidy... |
|
...everything had a place and I knew where it was. |
||
Now I have a house I hardly recognise. |
||
The moment I enter the door a pile of boxes and crates greet me. |
||
The dining room is no longer for eating in as the table has been covered with plastic Bayko pieces for six months. |
||
I have to navigate an assault course in the hall to reach the stairs and the main bedroom and small office are strewn with boxes, packets, and literature. |
||
.
|
||
I can’t say that I’ve been converted as I long to have a home that is free of all these extra bits and pieces, but somewhere along the way Bayko sort of took over and it was a case of ‘if you can’t beat it join it.’ |

Well, don't try and tell me I've edited that! |

If you are a fellow sufferer as a BAYKO Widow [or suffer from any similar debilitating condition!!] why not e-mail Diana and compare notes... |
