Default got one over on the girlfriend tonight

hi all
got home from work well happy that i just had a breather system made for my rs for £60.
looks really good anyway the missus started kickin off on me for spending money on the car. then she asked if i could pay the hairdresser the £75 for her haircut the joys of have a car that the missus hates with a passion 2 hours later and down £25 of fuel im at home and shes creeping now she knows she is in the wrong shes even made me a pack up for work dear of her.

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
