New Toy , but SWMBO won't let me have it :(

[Treeclipper]

Hi all,

Swmbo let me buy a Honey stove for my birthday as I've wanted one for a while, it arrived today and she won't let me have it until the big day on the 24th , tried to explain that I would neeeeeed to test it ,but she won't give in.

C'mon folks help me with reasons to get my grubby little paws on it, the folks at work won't help they just say I'm a big bairn and should wait.

But all I can think of is I have a new shiny stove to play with and it needs to be used.( lol I can hear it calling to me, from home).

i had the same with my underquilt for crimbo it came a month before and i was nt allowed it.

its like mental torture they use against us

tell her you only have a week to send it back if it does nt work so it needs to be field tested

My wife is exactly the same. Unfortunately she has said that my wild camping "fad" needs to be funded out of cash that is separate to the pay-check. So I'm car booting every worldly possession to kit out me and my lad! Not exactly being withheld, but definitely in the torture vein of things!

what are we mice or men its about time we put our feet down against the women folk

right whos first

She's right and you should listen to her. The wait for using it will make it more special when the Big Day is there - and it's only another 11 days

It might be worth casting your eye over this thread link ~ not too sure whether it will help (or how much / little ).

Hide her shoes and handbags

 

[udamiano]

Tell her "All the other boys, are allowed to bring their toys" Get her some chocolate put in a place where she can see it all the time, then say she can open her's if you can open yours.
given a choice like that my misses wold capitulate faster than a french girl with a chocolate addiction LOL.

Wait till she's not looking then swipe it and play with it.....forgiveness is easier to get than permission, even so, you're a BUSHCRAFTER damn it! A night on the sofa is walk in the park compared to sleeping outside

Turn the power off to the cooker -make out its broken ,then your lass is snookered for making the dinner simples !!.......... Then you could fire up the stove and save the day !! unless you have to cook the meals in your `house`that is ........ snigger!!

You could try the tactic of saying "All the other cool kids do it!"
