Just had a huge row with DH about this so please tell me if I'm in the wrong.
DH has wanted to buy a trampoline for ages, he will use it as will DCs so I am also keen although not so keen on what it will look like in garden but can accept their happiness will be greater so happy to do it.
We haven't got one yet mainly as it's been winter. One has come up for sale tonight on local forum and he's bought it (well he's messaged to someone to say he wants to). He did mention it to me before he sent the initial message to see if available.
I said fine although was a bit annoyed he's arranged to go for it on Sunday morning leaving me on childcare all day without the car even tho he goes out to football Sunday eve. Anyway I digress, I asked him to check the size with the seller (after his initial message) because if it's huge (as in over 14ft) it probably won't fit in our garden.
He went off on one saying the size is totally irrelevant and I'm just trying to stop him getting it / he's definitely not asking the seller because he's already said he wants it. I'm really not trying to stop him getting it, and it sounds like a good deal BUT would prefer to be sure it will be fit before he spends approx 1 day dismantling and putting it up. Surely this is not such a ridiculous question to ask even once you've said you're keen to buy? I did get massively annoyed that he refused to ask the seller...but I can't see why it's so strange I should want to know?!
