I am lucky in that I have no such problems with regards to material items. Its my money, I can spend it how I want, as long as I have covered my share f rent, bills, holiday money etc.
Its the weekends away she's not such a big fan of.
Its the weekends away she's not such a big fan of.
Having a young family makes the negotiation of full weekend trips a nigh on impossibility and I only just manage a full Saturday, an overnight and a home before lunchtime on a Sunday trip once a month. However I am at the gym three nights a week and out lamping one night a week so I really can't complain
I let the wife spend as much as she likes on clothes, shoes etc then I go out and get the kit I want and she doesn't have a leg to stand on! And because I am the only one that works if she does try to say anything I just say "I know what I'll stop your personal allowance you can go and get a job and earn some money of your own then you can complain as much as you like but until then don't say a word!!" its as easy as that.
I know it sounds a bit harsh, but I never once go on at her about anything she buys and I don't care how much she spends, but this is my hobby, lifestyle - whatever you want to call it and if I want something I'll get it.

I think you folks should all feel very lucky to have someone to send you to the naughty step as no amount of kit makes up for that special somebody who disapproves of it all .

Sorry to hear that M. Le Snuffers,
Might I suggest a model like mine? She shoots, dresses game, loves 'crafting, earns more money than me and bought me a Lee Reeves recently
A rare type but worth looking out for. I located mine shortly after trading in my old one. A much newer model and, interestingly, much lower maintenance. Indeed, although the disposal costs of the old one were high, the pleasure in taking the new one for a trip knowing that with the old one the mere mention of a trip guarateed a breakdown are a real joy.
Don't get me started on the leather upholstery either

That's the kind of model I'm looking for, they are indeed thin on the ground though. Most of the time I'm perfectly happy being single and only having myself to please but spring is in the air don't you know....British Red said:Sorry to hear that M. Le Snuffers,

Would suggesting Red does a passaround be in bad taste?

Thank you all - I'm going to send the Chief of Staff a link to this post so she can see there are others like me (she suspects I might be, um, a one-off)
