- Can you not remember? I bought it last year in the sale?
- No, I can't remember and also it looks new ?!?!
- You just forgot about it: just as you did with the ............(fill as appropriate)!
- Hmmm, still can't remember (but slowly walks away )
- You always forget things like that honey (Soundless sigh/relief/cheeky smile)!

So your story?

me: Guess what I've bought by mistake. Didn't intend to but it was on special offer today only.
oh: Is it something for your bike?
m: Yeah. Look at this. How great is that?
o: What is it?
m: I'll get to work quicker and save on diesel and have even more fun doing it so I'll be fitter and live longer. Worth every penny, all seven of em.
o: how much was it?
m: not much. Do you want some flowers with the change?

Nothing cycling related costs more that £10 and that bare metal frame is aluminium.

never had any objections to cycling kit from my missus...keeps me fit (well, at least not as lard ass as I would be otherwise), but I can justify a lot on the basis that I'd be paying 3 figures a month in pubic transport costs.

Actually, that's how I do it. As long as my total expenditure is less than my annual public transport costs them I'm on relatively safe ground.

Alas, frightened myself by totting up the spend since last July, so now looking to keep purchases under £50 at a time.

How much was it?

A third off!

That was to my Mum when I still loved at home and was spending my pocket money. Since I've been earning my own money I can't say its been an issue.
