Spent 3,500 on a bike but told the wife it was 2,000 is that breaking the rules!!!.

arthur_scrimshaw

Yes totally wrong.

The rule is 50% of actual cost

Or even better, that you knocked it up from spare bits you had lying around the shed.

Surely it is a £3500 bike that you got for £2000 in the sale.
Bargain!

Look in the back of her cupboard and you will find lots of "bargain" shoes and bags. Probably adds up to the value of your bike. Well, that logic works for me.

Deceitful,dishonest,disgraceful.



Ahhh -lurv-it.

Don't get too cocky. Your wife might not know the full value, but you live in Oldham. I would get a tin of matt black and get the thing painted quick as possible. Paint 'APOLLO' on the seat and down tubes too.*

*If I knew a superb decals maker, I would tell you about it and give you some pics and a link, but I don't.

Tear the receipt up into a lot of little pieces and eat it!!!

I did a similar thing with a new Cannondale a few years ago, said it was £800 and it was £1400, I put the receipt with all the 'dale bumf. She found it one day when I was selling it on

Sure they do the same with boots and handbags etc

I love the fact that the original poster feels a sense of shame. Some of us have been doing this for years.

If Mrs Tank has the audacity to ask me the cost of any bike stuff I just tell her "enough".

She's give up asking now.

Peddle Up!

£1WP (wife pound) = 50p

Isn't it crappy the way we have to lie about what we spend our money on ? I buy stuff in secret, I tell lies about what stuff cost and have a secret jamjar fund in the garage to spend on cycle stuff too. Why should I be afraid to be honest ? I think women in long term relationships have a weird power that dictate the whole mood of the house that they can change as they please.

I am going to kill my wife, get a nanny and life the life of a cycling God, which I know I was destined to be but didn't realise until I was in my 30's........or, just tell the truth from now on.

How hard can it be ?
