Descriptive word for this situation

edited April 2012 in Commuting chat
As a non-native English speaker, I was wondering if there was a fitting English word for this situation:
You have just blown your budget for a new bike, which you haven't gotten around to telling your wife about just yet, by 100%, with grave consequences for your financial resources for the next couple of months. As you come home, your wife tells you that your old trusty camera is useless and you need to buy a new one, and this time a proper DSLR too.
I'll accept nouns as well as adjectives.

    How about "oh", or "that's a shame. I've just spent all the money on a bike".

    Or adopt out-going Labour Govt policy and leave a note that reads "There's no money left. Good luck".

    Farked is probably the most appropriate though.

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    Not in English, but in Cantonese there's a phrase - pook guy - which literally means 'fall down on street' and very aptly describes your situation.

    I am sure there will be a derivative of Wiggle that would work.

    Stuff happens. You feel bad if you don't buy the bike, you feel bad if you do buy the bike.

    But feeling bad is easier to cope with if you have a new bike.

    This sounds like a very specific type of RSI or infection that only cider-makers suffer from.

    I think this is going to turn out just fine. After all, I'm going to save in gas as I'll be able to cycle more. And I'm going to save time as well, as the new bike is so much faster. Faster commute = more time at home.

    So it's a win-win.

    Right?

    n + 1/p = x

    Where n = number of bikes, p = wife or partner x = x wife or partner

    A couple of points here, firstly your married so 'sex ban' does not apply as sex is something people have before marriage, secondly MTFU and thirdly who needs a camera unless you make porn videos for a living.

    Simples!

    oh and just in case it wasn't clear before MTFU

    PS. by some wheels that cost more than an illegal organ transplant that'll take the sting out of the other fiscal surprise

    Tell the wife that you've heard from a mate that <insert name of camera shop or manufacturer> is in trouble and massive discounts will be available in <insert required number> months time, then suggest waiting until then to buy the camera.
