Birthday Present

[iank]

It is my birthday coming up and the missus keeps asking what I want, I keep on telling her, a stella 1000 and a Miller bream buster rod, failing that there is a 2500 twin power reel on sale for $279 at the tackle shop we buy thru, I still dont think she has got the hint yet. ;D ;D ;D I offered to get her the same for her birthday next week and you should have felt the temp drop. ;D Any hints on how to get her to see things my way. ;)
Cheers Ian

Good luck Mate, remember it's the SQUEAKY door that gets the most OIL ;D

Keep dreaming Dear,

I know that I work to support your fishing habit but don't work that hard. ;D ;D ;D

Nomes :)

[theoldlegend]

Haw, haw haw!! ;)

What's going on here, I said to myself? :-/

IanK, I think that your lovely wife Nomes is far too clever for you and the fact that she works to support your addiction is a fair and just reason that she should share in the spoils.

Sorry mate, in most circumstances I would agree with you, trying to generate some sympathy, but I think that you're married to a very switched on person. Going from the picture on her avatar, I reckon she has a good sense of humour as well.

All I can recommend, is, well, keep talking about it. :P

I'd just buy it and wrap it, put my own card on it and say to the Mrs

Its all taken care of dear, and thanks very much for the gift, its just what I wanted
:D

If she didnt get the hint before, she certainly does now!.

Perhaps a brand spanking new Haines for the Salt, or a Skeeter for the fresh ;D ? . Or maybe a El Cheapo Jarvis Walker combo ;D He'd love that :P .

TT 8-)

Ian

This is what I do with my wifey

I let her know just how tough and depressing it is not to be able to work again and if it wasn't for fishing I'd be in a nut house.

So can i please go and buy my Miller rod( or what ever comes to mind)
For my sanities sake, I know you understand .

Try it mate !!!

Geez, I hope Nomes doesn't read this!!!!!!!!!!

Mate I really shouldn't stick my nose in here but if you really want that rod you should do something about it. Get off your arse and find her a second job!

Good one mc Salty ;D ;D

Best of luck with it Ian. What you need to do in circumstances like this is lovingly tell her that you know how difficult it is for women to spot a bargain in fishing departments. If you have your own cash, you can tell her that the gear is going at half price, and would she like you to go and get it, so that she can save a few bob and the effort of shopping for it herself. You then buy it, give it to her to wrap and claim back off her half of what you paid saying that was the full price. That way it only costs you half and it only costs her half. You will have what you want at half the price and she will be forever indebted to you for your consideration in sacrificing your surprise in order to save her heaps. Who knows, you may even get a bonus later in the day? ;) ;D

I will not give in, I will not give in, I will not give in.

Thank goodness that he hasn't really discovered the huge advantages of lay-by. It would mean that he could have what ever he wanted he would just have to pay it off. Oops did I say that out loud?? Damn now he will know how I afford all the clothes. ;D ;D ;D ;D
