E bay disaster
« on: August 24, 2008, 09:34:19 AM »
Following our (my, actually) successes with the saxophone and keyboard Mrs Nick has become an e bay junkie.  noooo:

At 4 this morning ( evil:) she woke me to say that she had successfully bid on a rather bulky item of furniture at " a very good price".

The moron had been looking on ebay.com. cussing:

The vendor is in effing CALIFORNIA!! cussing:

The shipping costs will be astronomical. cussing:

She was so excited that she someohw failed to see that the price was in dollars  noooo:

Nick ~ You need to take control or consult a divorce lawyer. In my experience a divorce works well but if you don't want to go that far an occasional slap works wonders, your alternative is to put up with it all and suffer in silence.
I know what I would do.  eveilgrin:
