I'm in trouble...

[Last Hussar]

I had a brilliant idea (so I thought)

I have listed the ECW packs I want in a word document, but I've been a clever.

I'm always unable to say what I want for my Birthday (23 Feb, in case you care), as getting people to order what I want from Pendraken is tricky.

So I have made a table in Word with multiple lines, 2 columns wide

Left Column - Pendraken contact details.
Right Column an order, with price inc P&P
eg

£20
2 x [pack]
2 x [pack]

or

£11
2 x Pack

I can give this to my wife to distribute to relatives.

Good eh?

Except she can do maths, and will see that is in excess of  £180 (And its just Infantry - I think I have enough Cavalry and Artillery)

There may be questions about the other armies I own...

Holy sh*t... looks like it is time to hide. Either that or mention the mad deals Pendraken have had... you know the buy one get 5 free types of deal or you were adding the odd packet to the stuff your old friend gave you

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Oh heck!

And remember the prices go up soon too!

[fsn]

1) "Them bastards at Pendraken have put the prices up astronomically" (Sorry Leon)
2) "ECW - they're premium packs"
3) "Yers, but I get a discount ..."

If all that fails, tell her you love her and that talking about Pendraken makes you want her. That'll get her to change the subject.

Metal prices have risen dreadfully over the past couple of months due to the weather*/ fighting in the Middle East*/ increasing industrialistation in China* / the Tories* / Labour* / Capitalism* / the possibility of Scottish Independence* - hence the advisibility of getting others to chip in to spread the cost.

*Select your favoured culprit(s)

Careful selection may allow the purchase of further armies by persuading your wife the problem has been dealt with .....

....unless she reads the forum. In which case you may need the money for flowers/ chocolates/ meals out/ holiday destinations of her choice

Wipe the hard drive!!!...Burn the house down ...get a new name and move to Milton Keynes ( no one ever goes there)

For God's sake DO something!

You may be putting the rest of us in danger

[fsn]

How about "but with these I'm bound to win the 2014 painting competition, and then all the forum members will worship me."

We (the heart, liver and lungs in the Pendraken haggis) can even concoct a thread in which we all add some comment about how women wish they were you and men wish they could paint like you.

We'll all chip in won't we lads?  

[Fenton]

I shall now be only posting on this thread during the middle of the night whilst everyone else in the house is asleep for my own safety

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

...get a new name and move to Milton Keynes ( no one ever goes there)

I go there quite a lot. I was even thinking of going tomorrow!
Don' bring the wrath down there, that isn't fair. some of my best friends live there, and my club is there, and Campaign...

Try Welling Garden City or Telford instead!

Could you not take one for the team?

We share the same birthday.

As to the issue, it depends really on whether you have lied about how much you have spent.

Alternatively you could express an interest in playing the Hobbit miniatures game, buy a copy of WD and show her the models you would like - making sure she sees the price.

[Orcs]

Give herthe standard "man in Middle age Crisis options"


1 I Need a Ferrari - Too Expensive
2 I need lots of wargames figures - Do able
3 I need a Mistress -  extremly expensive (In my case more than a Ferrari) and you invoke the green eyed monster that should mean she will do what it takes to keep her man. Ie Number 2

Of course you may end up sleeping on Sunjesters sofa if you really don't have a mistress to retreat to! 

[Last Hussar]

I promised I've given up the mistress.

I need to recount what I've typed - doing the maths in the head I make it £120.  Still its over a ton...

She knows about GW- the kids get it.
