That's the best isn't it? - New shiney kit and the Mrs can't tell you off! :)

[m0txr]

A mate of mine who deals in military surplus,does me a favour being that if i buy something say priced at £20.00 he alters the price gun to say £4.99 and puts 3 price tickets for that value on the box or wrapper. When i get home i leave the box where i know my wife will see it, she then thinks "oh aint so bad, he only spent £4.99. :-)

[jus_young]

That's the best isn't it? - New shiney kit and the Mrs can't tell you off! :)

Only get told off if she finds out :ashamed:

[jus_young]
