Jeez some women can be unreasonable.

The other day I told the Mrs that I was getting 2 new kites and she, quick as a flash said what's wrong with the 9 kites and 6 boards you've got in the shed. On top of that if she hasn't got a new sewing machine by months end she will be leaving.

The major dilema I've got is I'm not sure what brand of suit case to buy her.
Any ideas?
I'm thinking of a roller kite bag so I can get it back and use it.

Can't help with what brand of suit case to buy the missus Ian but I would encourage you to continue to maintain a healthy diet when she's gone. Here's a really good tip for ya, wrap your celery in tin foil when you store in the fridge, it will keep the stuff crisp for days, no bull ! Should ya find on the bones of yer arse after the court battle, maybe, just maybe (cos I kinda like it now) I could let you have your old 9,5 FS Titan back at a really good price.
Cheers, James

Put the new kites in the old bags, no doubt she will want revenge and take the newest gear.

Call her bluf and get a removalist to come past while you are at work to quote on moving her gear.

If she leaves after that tell her you have sold things of value to suport your drinking and gambling that she has caused by leaving, that way in settlement she will have no grounds to claim against things she thinks you dont have, just keep them well hiden at a mates house or on hock at cash converters.

Good luck

Nothing more to say to your dilemma than this: yes...

There is advantages of having a wife with a new sewing machine especially if you have 11 kites

Invest in new sewing machine, force wife to work in the hot attic under threat of starvation/beating. Get her to do kite repairs for your mates to pay for your new kites.

The penny just dropped, if she goes I'll have to cut the lawns and put the rubbish bin out, Bugger.
Looks like a sewing machine coming up for the lovely lady.

James,
No need for the Titan now. enjoy.

I here ya Prea.

Looks a tho I won't need to be swapping kites around Waxy.

Skid, I don't think she would see anything funny in that. But I plan to walk her thru cash converters first for a laugh. The sewing machine joint is next door

HAAK, shame on you she's lovely, what kite have you been sucked in to buying now, theres still so many for your collection.

I do however have a large "golf" bag with wheels you can have for a very reasonable price and theres no combination lock on it to fuq up

i, who wishes she was obeyed, is now the proud owner of a sewing machine. but after reading all this rubbish, i fear easter bunny won't be delivering any new kites this year.

let us know how you dug your way out of this one mate :) I love a good lie to get yourself out of trouble.

Once I missed my girlfriends birthday drinks because I was having a kite. when I got pulled over the coals for it I pulled out a bull**** story that I had a fight with my old lady and in my saddened state I didn't want to bring the party down so i watched the sunset on the beach :) worked at treat. not only got away with it got sympathy from it as well. karma bit me on the ass though. got stuck with the hagged woman for 2 years before I finally let her loose. looking back on it now if i told the truth she prob would have dumped me and I would have had 18 months of alot more kiting :)

Thinking win / win here, if you bought a decent industrial type sewing machine, your MRS could alter, repair, heck even make complete new kites for you, at a fraction of the cost of the new ones you were going to buy ?
