Never leave catalogues lying around!

[over par]

Got a fishing catalogue in the post with some new lures today, so as you do, I was reading it on the throne.

My mistake was to leave it there, next to the radiator, in all innocence, knowing that the receipt for the new lures was ripped up and disposed of pronto as soon as the postie delivered them. So, in my mind I had got away with spending £60+ on some plastic with hooks attached! Safe eh?...or so I thought!


Now the Mrs, being female, is an iquisitive sort of bird and asked me how much these little plastic fish cost? So being confident and slightly cocky that all evidence was disposed of, I said about a pound each, and probably £2.50 for the expensive ones

Little did I know that she had been reading this catalogue on the throne herself! The reply came like this.............."Some of those reels are £50+ in that catalogue!"

"Yes, I would never spend that on a reel, some people are really stupid!" I said giggling to myself having spent probably £200 recently on reels. Then the reply came...

"So why the F**K did you spend £17 each on those stupid little fish!??"

Erm, moral of the story, get rid of all evidence, invoice, receipt and CATALOGUE!!!!!!!!

they might think its mad but on the other hand we think they're mad to spend a fortune on clothes and jewellry they might only use once.

Class, I feel your pain. The missus caught me well and truly out last year.

I had bought some gear from Snowbee, new wader boots, waders etc etc came to £317 - I specifically asked for the delivery address to be 'elsewhere'. Sure enough got in from work to find a huge Snowbee box waiting for me in the living room and a wife asking "what have you been getting now?"

So I told her........ I'd bought some new 'cheap' wading boots on offer etc etc..... She asked me how much it cost, to which I replied, " I dunno love, about £100 in total, deffo wasn't more than £110 love....bargain" I just got my sentence finished when she promptly produced the invoice from behind her back (sly cow).... "£100, are you sure about that?, try 317 f**king pound...."
To which I responded with the only reply left in my arsenal, which was "what you doing opening my mail??" Needless to say it didn't help......

I think she's just come to terms with it now.......lol
