I am still trying to pick my jaw off the floor...

Who the fuck does this?

Why would you do this without consulting your wife?

What the fuck do I do?

He's home in 20 minutes.

I've namchanged!

Fucking bastard...

Perhaps he has just been told about a very good bonus at work? Or just a joke to wind you up? Is he a bit of a joker?

Perhaps he can just lose the deposit.

I can't believe he never mentioned it before, it is not normal in a partnership. £30k is too much money to not talk about before spending unless you guys are very well off.

Maybe he does not actually want to start renovation work at home and is doing things to delay it?

Openmouthedshock · 27/01/2012 20:32

My problem is that I wasn't consulted.

It's not even so much the amount... it's the fact he didn't discuss it with me.

I've had a convertible, many moons ago, it leaked... I wouldn't buy another.

He's also late home and his phone has just rung out...

My dh said, 'ooh that's nice! It's got a 3.5litre engine, it'll go like shit off a shovel...'

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/01/2012 20:35

is he home yet?

Openmouthedshock · 27/01/2012 20:37

No cup it doesn't (although thanks for trying)

My eldest is 6, middle boy is 4, youngest is 2!

THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS

AARGH

And he's still not fucking back.

I am going to start pacing!

Have just downed half a bottle of red since starting this thread (a bit pissed)

maybe he didnt say
'Ive spent 30k on a car'

but

Ive left my shirt in the spar

fiveisanawfullybignumber · 27/01/2012 20:38

Seriously doubt you'd get three kids in the back, let alone three car seats. If its got sports seating in the back you definitely won't.
I think I'd have to kill him.

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/01/2012 20:39

or he's been flirty with a guitar Grin

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/01/2012 20:39

or he got shirty and went too far

DodieSmith · 27/01/2012 20:39

Leave him!

Openmouthedshock · 27/01/2012 20:41

satsuma ha ha.

Am now actually weeping and tyring to type...

Oh my god!

I've locked all the doors; deadbolts, mortice normal yale and set the alarm. I realise it's childish but I just can't speak to him, I will hurt him badly, it's for his own safety.

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/01/2012 20:41

or he got dirty and walked really far

EdlessAllenPoe · 27/01/2012 20:42

Dh "obviously he's a twat. He bought a BMW"

HTH.

FabbyChic · 27/01/2012 20:42

As soon as he drove it out the showroom its worth 4k less. Pointless buying a brand new car when they loose so much value as soon as you drive it away, far better a used one with a few miles on the clock for a few less grand.\

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/01/2012 20:42

oh try not to get upset, he can return it.

write him a letter. sellotape to front door. that's what Id do.

dear Knobhead,
blah blah

Openmouthedshock · 27/01/2012 20:43

I used to drive a BMW edless

Grin

Fabby not a new car

EdlessAllenPoe · 27/01/2012 20:44

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/01/2012 20:44

**show him this thread too

Sorry honey, didn't see you said he bought used, not really practical for a family is it, however if you have the family car and he has one for himself and you can afford it, not really a problem is it. Does he also wear a wig? I've to ask and I am only joking does he have a small willy and this is his penis extension?

hermionestranger · 27/01/2012 20:45

DH said ooh nice and nothing wrong with a convertible. Grin

HTH
