Order a couple of things late last night after a couple of beers, bargain scott clothing, don't really need it but will be useful next winter....anyway first time I used that shop and the bloody auto fill put my wife's email rather than mine....and we are 'supposed to be saving'. So she currently isn,t speaking to me and apparently I can't be trusted with a joint credit card,..

Any advice on how to dig myself out of this one, bloody auto fill

Hover the house, clean the windows and finish with her favourite sex act (probably having her back scratched).

Spend money to save money in the long run. I've been hitting that Scott sale too and have saved a fortune

Might have been okay if it was only £20, but it was £160.....

Have just got back from a century so walking is difficult let alone housework and bedroom gymnastics.

I might just go to the pub and be the best husband in the world tomorrow when the MIL is over.

Should've bought her something too. And said you both deserve it for some reason

I could have sworn this was in the chat forum. Apologies to all if I accidentally posted in the bike forum.

Going to the pub will cost more than suggesting you watch her Jane Eyre DVD together with a glass of Chardonnay.

Men can't be trusted with any type of money when bikes are concerned and you knew this already so don't feel guilty,she'll come round but don't expect her to come round until after your booty arrives on the doorstep,try and do some damage limitation and catch the post,get her drunk and try and get her to admit to something she has bought behind your back and try and shift the guilt to her,otherwise just stay out of the way and win the lottery 😕

If the website 'autofilled' her email, she must have bought something from that shop before you did ...

You earned it? Then you can spend it.
Maybe Remind her you are saving when she has her hair cut etc.

You're spending money that you're saving with her.
Do you not have any balls to ask her if that was ok?

Jesus wept, you managed to spend £160 on Scott clothing? I ordered two pairs of baggies, two tops and a pair of mitts yesterday and that was only £50!

A friend whilst out shopping with his missus she saw some cushions she liked, when my friend explained that they did not match anything in their lounge she said they did not have to and she liked them, so they got them despite my friends protest.

Next day he got home from work to find she had bought new curtains, a rug and two table lamps.
And when he asked why the hell she would do such a thing when a, money was tight and b, she had not long bought the previous curtains.

he was told,"well nothing matched the cushions".

Just point out that the more you spend, the more you save. All girlies understand this concept.

You do this at your at your own peril as it could backfire bigtime.

If you ride it out you reserve the right to walk out (go down the pub) in disgust, or a day out on the bike next time she par takes in a little un sanctioned retail therapy.

Still not talking to me (much).

Whilst I was out on the bike in the sunshine, she mowed the grass and weeded the garden which are 'man' jobs.

Don't think this evening can be rescued.

Its all your fault. Must stop opening PSA threads whilst drunk.

You got drunk (win), bought a load of new clobber (win).
Then today went out on your bike (win) thus swerving both mowing the lawn and weeding the garden (win,win).

And now you get to watch match of the day in peace.

You sir are a legend.

If it's easier to seek forgivness than ask permission, she must be a right mare when you ask if you can try bum love.
