[edit] and I watch too much minder on TV and do a really bad Arthur Daley who is always on about 'er indoors.


Entry from OED Online
her, pers. pron., 3rd sing. fem., dat.-acc. SECOND EDITION 1989
[4.] b. her indoors (also 'er indoors) Brit. colloq., one's wife or girlfriend; in extended use, applied to any woman occupying a position of authority who is regarded as domineering.
The phrase was popularized by the Thames Television series Minder (1979-93), in which the leading character Arthur Daley habitually referred to his wife as ‘her indoors’. The series' original writer, Leon Griffiths, app. first heard it used by ‘a taxi-driver drinking companion of his’ (Independent (1992) 16 June 13/6).


It's listed in the OED now!


I could be so good for you... Don't forget the theme song :)
