Ewen Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Massive argument with the wife and daughter this morning. After all the lectures I've given out in the past about throwing money away, living within our means and saving for things rather than splurging on credit...how dare I. My wife sees her chance of yet another holiday of a lifetime flushed down the pan (holiday of a lifetime ? She goes for it as if they are weekend breaks). My daughter is incensed that I've spend some of the money she was planning to weedle out of my account through the co-signer, namely her mum. Meanwhile, the object that has caused this family rift, this prelude to celibacy, starvation and un-ironed apparell, sits comfortably around my wrist...its beautiful face looking up at me as I look down on it with a delicious mix of guilt and pleasure. Its small but perfectly formed hands move with assured precision as they add a fouth dimension to the apocalyptic world its owner has just been exposed to. "Take it back ! " The evil shrew explodes...I smile inwardly as I suddenly resolutely decide that she, unlike my watch, is running on borrowed time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Very nice. Sod 'em, mate. You earned it. Thanks. Yes, yes I did didnt I. Just got to learn how to cook stuff now. I can handle the sex stuff on my own, and I like the crumpled look anyway so ironing need not be an issue. May have to get someone in to clean the cat litter tray and surrounding fall-out radius of about three feet though *shudder*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm. . . :GoesLookingAtExpensiveWatches: :dI think I'll just stay at work. Theres a kitchenette, showers and I'll save enough on petrol to buy another watch. Theres a petite blonde night cleaner I've had my eye on too. Not sure if shes Polish, but she talks in a sort of whiskyfied gutteral dialect that could be foreign. If I squint she looks like Jenny Bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Nice watch, i'm with Jake the Polish are doing allsorts at the moment and very cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 That's a lovely looking watch. I'd really like one of those myself. If I squint she looks like Jenny Bond. There's a similar lass at work. Only, if I squint, she looks more like James Bond! Anyway, if your wife doesn't calm down go out and buy another one for the other wrist.

juanchan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 go out and buy another one for the other wrist. My £15 Next watch is in need of replacement, as I've had it for about 6 years and it's seen better days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 I think shes mainly beefed up about the fact that I actually have a savings account she doesnt know about or have a card for. I wont mention that this was my BPU budget, otherwise I'll get grief from you lot too:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I think shes mainly beefed up about the fact that I actually have a savings account she doesnt know about or have a card for I've been told by some of the guys at work to always have an account that the mrs doesn't know about. All I need now is a Mrs to keep things from... Hows it going lad:) I'm sorry, but when it comes to things like watches I'm a bit of a tart. Not too bad thanks! Finally settled in the new place. I appear to have missed some Ringwood meets too. It's a pity the evening's are getting a bit dark now! I've got a decent Accurist that I got for my 18th which I don't wear everyday, but I'm still looking to upgrade the daily wearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Tis a nice watch. Whilst we are talking about watches, does anyone know what those watches are called (the make). The number dont go 1, 2, 3 , 4 on the face , they are mundled up, but when the hour comes, the hour hand jumps round to the next number wherever it is on the face??? they are extrememly expensive.
