Dinorider2600 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I spent lots of money last month, picked up haunted house, all of the tmnt and Lone Ranger sets and motorised at at I was busted when my wife finished work early and met the postman at the front door Quote
ExoBro94 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I have a solution for people who face this situation: either tell your wife, or don't by sets you and your family possibly can't afford at the moment. 100% guaranteed to solve all of your problems! Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 My wife picks Lego winners more frequently than I do. I always (almost) get her approval on a set before I decide to invest. Plus, she's a builder, too, so that helps. p.s. Before I got serious about Lego again, she bought me a Queen Annes Revenge back when they first came out. I made her take it back because it was too expensive. LMAO. Quote

Diabolos80 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Not much point trying to hide anymore. I have all this to sort out. Every time one of you guys posts a picture of all your sealed boxes, I think, "He's gonna need help building all those, I better get over there quick!" :) Quote
TheDarkness Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Guys I have a solution.... Don't get married! I was married before I became interested in Lego again Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Guys I have a solution.... Don't get married! If you get laid enough, sooner or later you'll have to marry one of em. Them's the breaks. Quote
Spartikis Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Guys I have a solution.... Don't get married! DING! DING! we have a winner! Quote
comicblast Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 DING! DING! we have a winner! Well, it's the key to not falling into Dark Ages and not getting punished for buying too much. Double win! Quote

T_T Also I agree, wife seems much better at picking winners than me. Quote
Etan Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Thedarkness You must really think the ghost train is going to be a winner. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 All of them unfortunately. Luckily I make the money. Quote
jaisonline Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Last month I purchased 9 Helm Deeps, 2 Mines, 16 B-Wings, 2 M.Falcons, 1 VW Camper, 2 Vamp Castles, 2 Arkhams, 2 Haunted Houses, 10 Weathertops, 5 Mines of Moria, 8 Orc Forges, 3 Black Pearls, and 2 Hagart's Huts. The wife finally noticed when the new shelving unit arrived (already have 2) and our storage room was mess for 3 weeks. She doesn't understand 95% of my inventory is an investment. Oh well, I do whatever I want so she deals. I stopped talking about her 50 shoe collection. Quote
Jackson Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 If you get laid enough, sooner or later you'll have to marry one of em. I hope this is supposed to be a joke. Quote
TheDarkness Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Thedarkness You must really think the ghost train is going to be a winner. More Vampyre Castles than Ghost Trains there Quote

No, I just thought this forum was a missing a bit of male chauvinism Anyway my wife thought it was funny when I muttered it after I proposed. What's that smell? Quote
sadowsk1 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 My wife doesn't care. She actually enjoys finding out how much I spend on my hobby since her hobby is very inexpensive compared to Lego. Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I hope this is supposed to be a joke. Ditto. That comment and half of this thread is rapidly approaching the line where it becomes sexism. My woman has full disclosure on everything I do with 'the' (note the lack of 'my' or 'her') money. We consult each other on literally every non-essential purchase. Quote
Quacs Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 My woman has full disclosure on everything I do with 'the' (note the lack of 'my' or 'her') money. We consult each other on literally every non-essential purchase. I'm with you. One of my roles in the family is to take care of the finances, and I feel like it's my responsibility to let her know every time I make a purchase. I couldn't sleep at night if anything were to go south financially and she didn't know exactly what had happened before the troubles. She has actually been a very good check for me - I'm forced to make good decisions rather than just spending money indescriminantly. Quote
