Holy Cow!!!!!
I was awoken this morning by my 3 young sons.....it's 07:30 (which is a bit early for me on my days off and after a beer and curry night with the lads the night before!) However, it is my birthday so I can't complain.....
After a quick rendition of Happy Birthday with me rubbing my eyes and trying to sit up (3 hours fixing the dishwasher yesterday has left me with an aching back) I open my cards and presents. Usual fare of a card each from the kids and a DVD that
they want....Outnumbered this time (which is pretty funny, I must admit), I get to my last present, in a sizeable box (no, not a bike box size!)
I tear back the wrapping paper to reveal the bottom side of the box and start making jokes about "oh, what a lovely brown cardboard box, just what I have always wanted!", which gets a few sniggers and guffaws from the kids. I turn it over and see this on the box;
Ooooohhhhh, that got my attention! The heart starts pumping a bit quicker and I open the box............Oh my god I've struck GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What can I say? I am absolutely gobsmacked! The missus has really done her homework too! She's got the right colour, ordered half a size up from my current shoes (as she has read that they come up tight!) and THE model. I am going to have to get faster and climb better to wear these! She even shopped around, found the best price and negotiated another 5% off! What a star! What a happy birthday....

Nice! I bought the exact same shoes about 3 weeks ago. I've been out on 3 rides in them, and they are perfect 0

No twin sister I'm afraid. The day was going so well until I went out for a ride, took a low speed tumble, and got home to a phone call saying that she had put petrol in our land rover, a TDi.........and driven it until it stopped.......
