    Early Christmas Presents #(To myself!!)

    Just picked up my last reel purchase today. I have no hope of asking for some new reels from the better half for Christmas, so i bought them myself. Don't know how i am going to explain where they came from or where the money went, i'll have to worry about that when the time comes. #

    Does anyone else have this problem!! #Now to buy some rods for them. #

    I ended up with six Shimano reels & one Penn reel.
    Pic attached.

    I'm laughing....the cook's just brought a horse and needs a fair bit of gear and so has spent a fair whack of the slush fund.
    I'm rolling in browny point ATM. Look out for when I spend the said browny points.
    Not going to rush this. I have to get good value per brownie point to make it worthwhile.
    I've told her about the reel I brought last week. Haven't told her about the lathe and tooling though...Shhhh

    just tell her you bought them...simple as that..are you guys that scared fo your other half that you have to accrue brownie points to do anything or buy anything...I would not live in that situation.

    Financial decisions are shared between equals in the relationship, or so the book on financial relationship management said.
    Females tend to plan their spending, men can be be a bit spur of the moment.
    It is not the fact that you spend the money, it is the fact that you did not plan to spend that amount of money that really P*sses them off.

    From personal experience, 100% true. She spits feathers for days because the money set aside for the new handheld GPS was spent on this marine toolkit that is all stainless steel and comes in a waterproof box.
