My husband has just rung me to say he's spent £30k on a car....

[Openmouthedshock]

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 I should get that last post removed before she sees it in case it tips her over the edge!

6-series are coupes. What with the boot big enough for two golf bags and the room taken up by the roof mechanism, the back seats are surprisingly small.

OP - can I pop round for a cup of tea and a listen.?

It's nice. It has to be said.

NOt on credit, house doing-up money, plus other bits we had.

Regardless of source, it in unacceptalbe.

He's gone for a looooooong drive!

Whilst I consider my options.

He's well and truly told and he knows it.

But what ot do now

(am pissed, just finished other half of bottl)

Just said to my DH if you ever do this I will be lived he said I won't I'm not a total dickhead.

Nuff said.

Can he take it back? or sell it?

Why did he think it was ok to buy it? Especially without checking with you?

Lovemygirls wouldn't call him a dickhead... just a little self-absorbed.

Let him have it for a bit, and have a bit of fun.

Then he needs to sell it and do up the house.

And drive around in something sensible.

I've suddenly got all twitchy about mine and DH's joint savings account

what an utter jerk!

is there another jerk out there he can sell it on to if he cannot get out of buying it??

what was he thinking? why did he assume that money was his to spend without consultation?

Why do so many of our DH's and DP's get an over-whelming urge to buy an idiotic car at a certain age? Can't all be Jeremy Clarkson's fault as I distinctly remember my mum going ballistic in the mid seventies about a Lotus. OTH it was very cool being taken to school in it, even though we were balancing in impossible positions on the funny little shelf behind the main cockpit that was theoretically the back seat.

so you looking after 3 kids and you are drunk? nice.. btw long drive with 3l engine.. nice! you dont seem very pissed to me. more showing off, but thats just me

Er I work in a car dealership and you can't drive any vehicle away on the same day, so he did not buy it today, he put a deposit on it and collected it today

What a cunt!!!

Sorry, but I never use the "c" word unless completely justified - and it's 100% accurate in this context!!

He can fucking sleep in it, the utter utter wanker.

Jesus H Fucking Christ who the fuck does that?!?! I mean seriously - who the actual fuck does that???!!!

My mum's here kirstie so piss off!

He's been told to go for a long drive. Quite understandable

Open

Okay. Joking over. I was seriously fucked off when my Ex DH spent £1500 without consulting me never mind £30,000.

Really fabby?

I suppose either way it makes no differnce if he planned to buy it anyway

really.... yeah whatever..

You wouldn't call him a dickhead? I'd call him far worse, whose 30k has he spent? Who earnt it?

Will there be reports of a murderr on the 10 o'clock news? Do we need to sort you put an alibi?

For hevens sake, people shouldn't need to check with their spouse before making a major purchase, people should trust each other.

Occasionally people fuck up (as in this case), ut I would be if DH consulted me on a proposed car purchase. Actually he did ask me once, and I pointed out that car was unsuitable for 3 car seats (we had 3 small DC). He bought it anyway.

Yeah whatever kirstie (are you twelve?)

Whislt it's shit what he's done, all things considered, if you had to take a long drive, that would be a decent car to do it in.

DP who is a car nut says it's quite a reasonable buy for that money and will fit the kids in no problem

We both reckon he's a knob for not discussing it though.
