isn't it funny when you expect 'flak' off your missus...

Mrs LsD found one of my Stashes whilst lookin' for other stuff up the loft........luckily I'd decoyed it with Very Funky Shoes hidden for her Christmas.........works every time!!

January 2006, Browsing the net whille offshore spot Evans have a good sale deal on a Spesh Tarmac Pro.
After going on about what a good deal it was for nearly 2 weeks and driving the guy who I was sharing a cabin with "crackers" I got the
chopper off, into the car and off to Evans at Castleford(It was on the way home!) walked out 45mins later, £1700 lighter!!!!!!!!
Cold sweat all the way up the A1, how should I tell Mrs752?
Best plan was just dont!! Got home waited till she went to bed, slid bike in amongst the other five hung in the garage.
Caught her in said garage one day holding the wheel of the Tarmac non the wiser looking for something!
Got away with it for 3 months, took my daughter to my mums for the day and driving home Mrs752 phones and says get me a Maccy D on the way home. I see an old friend and stop and talk for 10mins, next thing phone rings and Mrs752 says did you forget about getting me the MacDonalds just like you forgot to tell me you spent £1700 on a bike in January?????
Got the quiet treatment for a while and then it cost me £1800!!!!!! To get her some Braces for her teeth that she didnt really need but partial forgivness wass achieved.
Moral of the story is, "If you're not going to tell them you've bought something nice, shiny and exciting, Definetly dont walk out of the shop without your reciept and warranty card so that they have to post it to your home address so that your wife who was enjoying a day off without the children has to open it"
