While I've been away at work, 8 parcels have arrived at home, addressed to me.
Speaking to my wife, yesterday, she suggested that she wrap them up and put them under the Christmas Tree! :shock:
I protested strongly... These are essential items, for my bike and I...
Christmas is a whole different kettle of fish... I'll show her (and Santa) that list when I get home. :wink:
She didn't really seem to buy into my plan, but that's irrelevant. I'll be away again before Christmas, so I can always visit Santas internet store and organise my own pressies... :wink::D:D

EDIT: Trust women to see the sensible side of things :shock:

    Well you should have lied and said that they were presents for HER for Christmas and that she musn't ask any more questions. 8) (or did they all come in Wiggle boxes?) ALtho then you'd have to order 8 more presents that really are for her (get them shipped to work next time).

    I don't know if it's women's logic - I've just had my birthday presents early - couldn't wait another 3 weeks to fit my shiny new compact :)

    If I had to buy her 8 pressies, I'd be broke :shock: Nowt left for me :wink:
    Shipped to work is a no-no.... Santa doesn't do rigs! :evil:

    Aaaaah, Birthday... That's a week before Christmas, and another thing, entirely. Possibly another subject for a Post... :roll:

    Women have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves - you need to get creative.

    e.g telling husband that the "nice jeans" they are wearing are ages old (ages as in bought last week in Zara while you were out riding :P ) Husband then ponders the fact that he's never noticed them before and woman makes him feel guilty for never noticing what she wears. Cue lots of attention and gifts from husband :lol: (scheming? us? never!)

    My wife doesn't complain about what I spend, as I never bat an eye lid when she spends. I am also the sole earner... :wink:
    I do notice what she buys/wears... I have had the female reverse psychology used on me before, so that's a lesson learnt!
    You are a cunning fox... I hope your OH doesn't frequent these sites :shock:

    If only it were that simple, Aggieboy... The boxes vary from pedals to a 20" floor fan! :shock:

    Actually, I must confess, I have never tried anything like that! I have a friend who is very sneaky tho, buys heaps and sneaks it thru the front door up to the wardrobe. I don't really understand why - probably cos she knows she buys far more than she really needs. My OH knows everything that I buy and I would never feel the need to deceive him (anyway, it's his money as he is the sole earner (plus joint bank account & joint credit card so I think he'd notice)!!)

    Women...logic... :?: :?: :roll:

    Christmas pressies never a problem. She admits to not knowing what I want/need so I just have to buy it myself. And wrap it. And look surprised!!!

    At least I'm never disappointed.

    I don't know about that.

    Just think women & logic are contradictory concepts.

    I understand logic. I would never profess to understand women. Too dangerous!

    Woman Logic... yesterday morning United Utilites were talking about turning off all the water in the town for a few hours, due to the floods. So I fills the bath.

    OH sa "I'm going to have a shower"

    "But the bath's full"

    "I know i'll just stand in it"

    "Where will the water go?"

    "oh yeah!"

    Fule.

    She could have used her initiative and let the water out before showering... So as to not get it dirty :shock:

    TO my mind, that was secondary to the idea that the shower water would just magically disappear.

    When I was looking for a new bike I inflated the price so much that when I told my wife I had found one a lot cheaper, by 2K, it was no problem just get it. If she ever finds out, I will be moved into the shed I reckon. :wink:

    Nice one...

    Unfortunately for me, my wife can read & write, has a photographic memory, and knows how to use Google & Froogle...
    If she notices anything new to do with road bikes, MTB's, kayaks, snowboards, motorbikes, or anything she's not sure of... She'll soon know everything there is to know... and, so will I! :shock:

    If you guys want to talk about logic can you explain why there is a bike standing in my newly-decorated living room when there is a perfectly good garage attached to the side of the house?? :roll: :D

    ooh, so cutting! Actually, I was in the living room CLEANING and it's in the way (I would hate to splash water on it from my mop & bucket. :roll: )

    Besides, it doesn't match my new colour scheme. :D

    LOL - it is a new bike - collected on Saturday (and hence has a 1m exclusion zone all around). I wouldn't mind but Mr A has gone down south and left it in there. It's not like he's here to gaze lovingly at it every evening. :roll:
