well ....
this weekend was an eye opener
i have been looking at compact for a few weeks... get the pic?
went to a nearby town for a look at all the bikes on offer
My hubbie encouraged me
at the end of the afternoon he is driving the car and says
"go back to LBS and look at the bike you have been drooling over"
so i say
i cant because i feel bad if i dont buy it , i love it (been loads to look and ride it in the confines of the store lot )
he says ok we should go and just see it
(OMG )
I say but why not just buy a compact chain set for my bike
his reply was ( i kid you not he is not a bike boy!!) do you want a new bike or what!!
so meek and mild i enters LBS
look around for ages for "my bike" nowhere to be seen!!
ok ok calm down i tell myself
anyway ask assistant who tells me it is sold
****
ask manager WHO TO????
HE SAYS "GRINNING"
you
woo hoo
the bike is ab fab and i have to say my hubbie is the wonderfullest boy in the world (bought bike without me knowing and had me messing about for a whole afternoon........................ when i could v bin riding
the bike is brill

My parents did this same thing when I was 9 when they bought me a rabbit for my birthday. I had been fawning over a little bunny at the pet store. They got me to come along to run some errands with them by the pet store. We passed by the shop and there was a "sold" sign on the bunny's cage. I was awfully sad, but then we went in and my dad's name was on the sign as the person who bought it Originally Posted by Scarlet
Of course, now I know you should definitely adopt rescued pets, but I give my parents credit
Congratulations on your new bike and your husband definitely earned points for this!
