For Silverchicks OH..IMPORTANT
 
I seriously suggest that you cut up your credit cards and limit Silverchicks 'pocket money' when you move to Spain because if she visits the Bonaire shopping centre in Valencia you will be absolutely horrified at what she might spend.

Yeah, he sure did so guess who had to pay for HIS shopping spree and lunch. He rarely buys new clothes and shoes but today he did, I wonder why?

He needs to, you will love shopping there. Graham got carried away even though he forgot his wallet and he is no shopper I can assure you.

My OH hates shopping with a vengence and so do I but we do not mind just browsing so went with the intention of sussing it out for when the family is over and my OH got carried away so there is hope for your H.G.

If I go shopping I spend to much, I now try to only buy stuff thats reduced or in the sales(no damaged goods though). Infact I skip straight to them sections lol.

My grandchildren are so used to their mum buying things with sale labels on that they will take things to her in the shop and ask for it and push the fact that it has the vital red sale label on it. They truely believe that she will not say no if it in the sale, they are very probably right!!!!!

so much restraint! I have to say, in my defence m'lud, i do really go for bargains, i can hear a pricing gun from several aisles away and my shopping trolly is usually full of b.o.g.o.f.s also clothes and house wise i do go for good prices, rarely do i buy full priced, also do my research on internet before i make major purchases.

its just husbands i can't sem to get right:rofl::rofl:(H.G being the exception of course although we're only dirty sinners:wub: )

Maybe going for bargains would make you spend more :eek: Buying as many things you can grab that are reduced;)

well..... i have to say when i sorted out my wardrobe, there were a lt of 'bargains' that were either unworn, or worn once or twice, actually making them distinctly 'unbargain' like!the charity shop did very well!

It is a fact that the word "shop" is derived from the ancient Minoan word for "Temple of Satan". Hell will freeze over! Rugby Matt will be lost for words! Lynxxa will become her neighbour's bessie mate. I will be heard to say "What a nice chap that David O'Leary is".. and all of this before anything remotely connected to shopping becomes bearable to me. Do you guys realise how much stress I endure having to think up new ruses to keep her mind off the ever increasing list of shopportunities she keeps coming across....I thought El Corte in Gandia was a challenge but now.......AAAAaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggghhh:eek:

El Corte in Gandia........no sweat....no problema at all but Bonaire in Valencia......serious sweat, heart attack in the offing.......grande problema.

Suggest you cancel all plans of moving to Spain unless you can successfully tie up the money to stop Silverchick spending or failing that you will need to incapacitate her in some way to stop her having the ability of going there.

Good to see a post from you, welcome to the forum.

I often argued with my ex wife, that coming home with a 'bargain' which was £30 off the original price was only a bargain if she needed it, and would actually wear or use it, so many times that 'bargain' finished up at the back of the wardrobe having NEVER been worn.
