How do I explain to the missus that I have just spent 250 quid on a seatpost!!!!!
You might as well just tell her you're a complete fool - no point lying, they can always tell... 😉
claim you won it as a prize - apparently this has actually been done 😯
one word for you
credit card
She does not need to know.
Or explain if she wants you get fat, lazy, like football and crappy lager while slowly becoming imputent and desperately dull... You will return the post and grab some fosters and the remote control.
Just gave mrs Bikemonger that speech and I am now heading to the mountains tomorrow after we shut the shop.
or just don't explain, she'll never notice something as small as a seatpost and if she does will never expect it to cost so much.
I'll never hide it, Im working oop north till fri, and it will be delivered wed/thu!
I reckon im gonna use the 'It was gonna be a new bike, so really I've saved loads'!
tell her not to open it as its a surprise for her birthday, hmmmm what present for a woman comes in a box similar to a seatpost???? hmmmmm???
haha 🙂
Don't mention it, then when she eventually notices say 'I told you about that ages ago' 😉
MTFU and tell her you will buy what you like, when you like.
Then when you have found somewhere else to live, have a look at the fitness dating sites 😉
Darling, i bought this seatpost as i wanted it and yes it was expensive for what it appears to be, however i wanted it so got it.
Rather like you my sweetheart, i wanted you and no matter how much it may have cost me to have you, it's been worth every penny.
It's just a seatpost and it's real value is the pleasure it brings me, where as you my dear give me more pleasure that money can't buy, would you like a cuppa?
Pre-emptive strike. Buy her a sports car. She won't notice the seat post.
It's the only way to be sure.
Disguise it as a dildo.
In fact, no. Dont.
I once painted an old frame green.
Shortly before a spangly new green frame turned up.
Purely coincidental.
I thought this was going to be about the Archers.
Her "Is that a new seatpost"
You "What this old seatpost? Oh, I've that ages."
Her "Sorry, I hadn't seen it before"
You "No problem. It looks good doesn't it 😀 "
