Reply to: What to do with wife's buying

[Lucifer Box]

This is a contactors' board, isn't it?

Men don't understand, most men I know have four pairs of shoes (at the most) and a few suits, some jeans and some tshirts

I just put on whatever the valet lays out for me in the morning.

That aside, he sounds like a rather overdressed gentleman to me.

I guess it touched a nerve, wrote and posted before I realised what I had done.

I can't belive a woman actully trying to justify their wardrobe, when just mentioning they are female should be enough !

[SallyAnne]

I speak for women everywhere.

We need those clothes !

I don't care if they don't fit and haven't fit for five years, I will fit them again and those shoes will come back. Men don't understand, most men I know have four pairs of shoes (at the most) and a few suits, some jeans and some tshirts, their lives are simpler than ours. I cannot wear suits, they do not go with large breasts, so I am forced to have an array of tops and trousers and stuff, not to mention casual wear, and evening wear, and going on the plane wear.

You just don't understand

Oh Lucy....

Thankfully I've never heard her say that...only because she pre-buys the clothes and has a good five year ahead supply of clothes. What she does do is complain that she needs more gold jewelry -- which shakes my boots as gold is now enormously expensive.

That's because Milan bought up all the world's supply of gold.

I've often thought about buying the neighbours house and using it as a giant closet.

Excellent idea. Surely the unlimited capital growth on the property should more than pay for your wife's indulgence?

[lilelvis2000]

Let me guess, just like Mrs Lucifer they are oft heard proclaiming "I have nothing to wear".

Yes, no matter that they can fill up to 85% of your wardrobe.

She fills up 100% of mine. My pitiful belongings are in a couple of carrier bags in the loft.

EBay - job done...

I have often thought there must be some kind of market for this and similar services. For me, it's when we're visiting somewhere and we always end up with something from the "gift shop" which is (a) something else for me to carry and (b) never looked at / used ever again and ends up in the basement.

I was thinking that you should be able to send them back somehow, less a small fee of course. £20 for a paperweight, whatever!

Give it to me. It can join the extensive selection of unworn-still-in-its-wrapping clothing in Mrs Lucifer's wardrobe.

Which can join her already massive pile of unworn and unseen shoes from the past 10 years...just under her massive pile of unworn and unseen jewelry. next to her rotating pile of "to be exchanged or returned" clothes. Some of which was bought strategically just before a sale so as she can ensure the item is her size when she returns it (at full price) and a few hours later re-buys it (at the sale price).
