When will I ever learn

[gwaithcoed]

When my wife wants a coffee or cup of tea she will half fill a 3 pint kettle. I try to tell her "what a waste of energy" and how much it is costing.
Anyway we have just been fitted with a white electric meter and it comes with a little hand held device which gives you in real time how much energy is being used and at what cost.
Armed with all this knowledge I couldn't wait for her to come back from shopping and demonstrate how much she was wasting.
She said "let me look" and taking the device said "OK go into your shed and switch on that big noisy thing that you are always using"
We decided to put the device away and call it a draw. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Brill! Smart lady. My wife starts to look at all the screwfix payments on the account the minute I mention her spending.

Don't have a wife = NO problems :lol:

My wife got home last night very excited. She had found a great deal on a mechanics socket set and wanted to show me. She also got a 2 foot , half inch socket breaker bar. I am a lucky lad , she says I can use it anytime , so long as I put it back in good order.

Leave it alone you will only do it wrong ! I never knew that you can put milk back in the fridge the wrong way - I do now !

Think this a case of "do as a i say, not as i do". Worked a charm on my now ex wife. :lol:

I get that too. In 'busy' times I have been known to take cash to the trade counter...

I found it easy when I had the business as every purchase was " needed for work ". Different story when you retire.
To be fair she rarely questions anything except " how much did it cost you to transfer your number plate to the new car" and not sure she believed me when I truthfully told her it's £80 :roll:

A mate of had a new light bar for his Land Rover, I asked him how much it was and he told me it was £120. He didn't know his wife was within earshot and she said " What! You told me you won it!). To which he replied " I did win it, I won the auction on eBay!"

Apparently he's been winning a few things!
