I had saved up some money for the Mrs to buy her something....anyway today it came to that moment, and she said to me "I want this one" and I said "but i had £120 ear marked for you"

and she said "Well you have "£100 to spend on what ever you want then don't you!!!"

So my question is.....What do i spend it on?

I'm thinking of some shades for my bike

Would the shades be more useful for your eyes?

This sounds like a secret test that your about to fail. Find a £50 gift for her and then spend the rest on some shades. 8)

I feel that shades are treated like the emperor's clothes, the markup on them is ridiculous. I'd get some basic Endura specs and then either update my tyres for the season or shave some weight with components.

Prozzys. (not really, the markup on them is ridiculous).

spend the left over 100 on something you'd both enjoy, everyone's a winner.

bonus points for chosing something that she's under the impression you dont enjoy (for manly reasons of whatever) and wording it as "i wanted to spend that money on you so..."

you don't need to spend it you know, theres always the option to just keep hold of it until you need something or am i the only one who thinks like that?

this is a test..

buy her a present or expect the type of subtle and excrutiating grief that only a scorned woman can conjure for at least the rest of the year..

PL... i thought the government wanted us to spend our way out this recession?!

anybody who "saves" is just lining the banks pockets, go out and spend your money on boobs like a good citizen.

How old are you OP? This is an obvious opportunity for you to fail. If you don't spend that 100 on a decent gift or reasonable meal you're going to be single or deaf shortly.

start her a "boob account" - savings account for a boob job, open it up with the 100squid and explain she'll appreciate the gesture when she's having to roll them up to stop them getting caught in her belt 😆

come out on my work leaving do on the 28th April and spend it there...it'll be a big one so you might feel a little rough the next day. I'm sure that won't be a problem though.

PM me for details 😐

Speaking from a female point of view:

Its more about the effort rather than the value, the fact you've saved up to get her something is so nice. Its the effort [b]NOT[/b] the monetary value that makes your female want to see your wi**y 8)

Defo a trap

I tend to take the longterm view on this type of decision. Yes, you could spend a hundred on yourself but you'd be better off spending a thousand.

Buy your wife some nice stuff as a surprise with the ton and start looking at what bikey stuff you really want that's in four figures.

Aim high

I had the world's shortest windfall today.

Opened my utilities bill.

First piece of paper, electricity, "we owe you £124, which we'll pay into your account." Yay! \o/

Second piece of paper, gas, "you owe us £239 and we have amended your direct debit accordingly." Flaps.

Your first and critical mistake was admitting you had £100 left over. You should have said, what about that £40 trinket dear, thats MUCH nicer and goes with your skin better. Ok you've only got £80 to play with, but she feels valued, you feel good about yourself and have £80 to spank on whatever you like.
At a guess I'd say you were 27?
Foolish boy.

£100 worth of breast pads......you don't want to be seen with a leakytit'd woman even if she is your wife!

considering that she's preggers the booobjob bank account could be a good call too

or save the ton and use it so you can get a hotel for a night and get some rest once littlesuckingmatt comes along.

If you have a baby on the way why not use the left over money to buy something for it? Or both kids. If you haven't already you could open up two bank accounts and put £50 in each.

Or buy some summer tyres.

Spend the money on taking her out for a fancy meal or something.

Enjoy more riding (fnarr fnarr) as a result.
