                        Mine is very ....well I won't say supportive ... but she does let me get away with blowing my hobby budget out of the water every one in a while. As long as the bills are all paid and I leave a little in the account, she allows me my whims.

                        Hey our women get to indulge on themselves, don't they? I figure if wifey can get her nails done or a new pair of shoes....she sure as heck can't give me the eye if I order something online or walk through the door with something in a bag. To her credit, she gives me no grief.

                        I am only limited by the the little bit of room I have in my closet that isn't taken up by other stuff. and it is slowly becoming full!!! but I should have enough that I don't have to buy any till late spring. but unlike everyone else, I do not have a girlfriend or a wife, just a mother. Wink [;)]

                        here's a hint to foil those audits. if you use a debit card, don't pay with it, just get cash and use that, and shred all those receipts from the LHS!!!Big Smile [:D]Wink [;)]

                        My wife is pretty cool about it all. She has her hobbies and I have mine (which run about 10 times more in cost than hers!)... I just use my 'Guard' pay for my hobbies and she doesn't care. She also used her extra income for hers. That way, our main sources of income go for the big expenses (mortgage, food, bills, wine, cheese, trips to far corners of the world, etc...).
                        I DO have to watch my spending though! Went on a buying spree last year that was VERY expensive, blew my account down to about zip... got a lot of fun stuff though!

                        I always check to see if it is ok to buy a new kit. If we have the money there is no problem...... she would let me have what ever I wanted..... I got a cool wife Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

                        My Wife just looks at me whenever I come home with a new kit and shakes her head.

                        At the moment I am a bit limited space and timewise on finishing Kits and am looking forward to the new apartment where I can get a dedicated modelling corner and a roof balcony. Big Smile [:D]
                        Having 3 well-stocked HS within 300 meters from the apartment and plenty of other HS within a 15min. train ride don't make it easy NOT to buy new kits.


                        But than I think she gave up when i brought in kit no. 150 some time ago as everytime she pointed out my pile of Kits I pointed out her pile of cut-cloth in the other corner.

                        When my wife gets out of the hospital and sees that I picked up some new dragon marines and some extra add ons for my Bradley and some other goodies, she's gonna kill me! ( I think I spent around 200,00 euro)

                        hi guysSmile [:)],
                        what with the hoiday festivities and allSmile [:)], and their resulting impact on our financesDisapprove [V], my other half - "she who must be obeyed"[:0]Black Eye [B)]Tongue [:P] - decided that it would be prudent to review our monthly outgoings, seeing where any savings might be made.
                        "sounds a good idea" i said, not knowing what was in store for me when i got home from work!![:0]
                        with bank statements being waved in face as evidence, i was asked (interrogated?) if i knew how much i was spending on our beloved hobby per month...thinking quickly, i came up with the brilliant response of "...errr, not sure..."Tongue [:P] (i'm good under pressure you see!)
                        it turns out that i have been spending equivalent to 1/3 of my monthly mortgage repayments each month, and boy did i get it!!Black Eye [B)]Black Eye [B)]Black Eye [B)]
                        as a result there is now an embargo on evil-bayEvil [}:)] and hannants, my 2 main sources...Disapprove [V]Disapprove [V]Disapprove [V]
                        i thought it was not a good time, therefore, to ask if i could buy some AFV Club tracks for m Vc firefly in the sherman group-build!Black Eye [B)]Tongue [:P]
                        oh well...my only hope is that i persuade her to join the hobby and begin building the p-51 that i bought her for xmas!!Smile [:)]Smile [:)]Smile [:)]
                        anyone else with any similar tales? i'd love to hear them!
                        regards,
                        nick
                        Kind regards, Nicholas
