It still amazes/facinates me that people get told off by their missus for spending money on their car!
If I earn the money, Ill spend it on what ever the fuck I want!
My missus is the same, she earns it, she spends it.
If I want to blow all my cash on the car, I will, and she wont bat an eyelid!

As for hair dressers, if she wants to go, she pays for it, pretty simple really

To be completely honest,

I can't complain ! It was my lady's fault I got another Cossie & it was her who pushed me to get the thing on the road & all the bits I needed for it, she sourced, helped pay for & helped me if I were ever short cos spendin on the Cossie!

All in all, I feel I is a vely vely lucky boy & wouldn't change her for the world !

Dunno what that'd be like now being moaned at for spendin cash on the Cossie ! Been so long ! lol
