Our lass usually moans when I buy the latest light, tyre or computer for my bike, but today she didn't comment at all when I had to shell out over 500 quid for a new exhaust, pads and discs and two front tyres for "her" car. Still, I'll be able to order a new cycle jacket now without much of a squeak :-)
Seems reasonable. One can never have too many bikes, bike bits or accessories.
The paving slab fairy has spoken - it is the law, fact, custom, and reasonable
You don't know how much happier I am after reading that - I've just forked out a lot of money which I don't have for some more cycling kit & wondered whether there'd be repercussions from She Who Must Be Obeyed. I'll just say that the paving slab fairy told me to do it.

you've left me with thoughts of unscrupulous husbands/partners going off to buy unnecessary car consumables just so they can buy cycle components and clothing !! i take it the car needed the exhaust, pads and discs? did your wife ask to see the old ones

She knew how much it was before I did. I left it at Kwikfit at 0700 after my night shift, walked home and then went to bed. They then rang her with the quote later on. Simon
